The Waiting

Brenner’s musical roots run deep not only throughout Montana, but the American West on the whole. While still in high school in Missoula, he co-wrote a song called “Break Another Heart,” which garnered spins on the radio as well as landing him a people’s choice songwriting award. “Break Another Heart” is a fitting title for a musician who eventually would become an integral part of a band created to honor the music of Tom Petty, including his epic repertoire with the Heartbreakers. But decades prior, Brenner founded the wildly popular Missoula-based band, the Max. After touring for 7 years with the Max, Brenner moved to Bozeman to earn a BA in English Literature. Even still, he continued to make music, playing with the Max some 40 years later when he’s not performing with the Waiting or teaching cello and guitar. To date, he has trained nearly 1,000 musicians and counting.
