Brewer & Shipley: One Toke Over the Line

Michael Brewer & Tom Shipley are truly two who work as one. Their melodic music and underlying lyrical themes of personal freedom combined with their traditional songs of love still resonate with long time fans while continuing to draw new ones.

Brewer & Shipley’s Top 10 hit “One Toke over the Line” was largely responsible for introducing them to the masses, yet their music careers neither began nor ended with this one song. Album buyers understood that these men were designers and not build to only produce pop songs. As prolific as they were, they did not write songs to any formula.

Each album, from “Down in L.A.” to “Heartland,” was a meticulously woven tapestry of fabric they had invented, one song at a time. Brewer & Shipley have recorded albums for four different labels: A&M Records, Buddah/Kama Sutra Records, Capitol Records, and their own One Toke Productions. They have created timeless music that has spanned 40 years, 50 states, and many countries.

Brewer & Shipley … two guys, two guitars, two great voices still blending as one.
