JEANS ‘N CLASSICS jeansnclassics.com
Most definitely NOT a tribute act, the band and singers of London, Ontario’s Jeans ‘n
Classics faithfully interpret the music of legendary rock and pop albums and artists,
with their own special and signature flair. The group, headed by Peter Brennan,
is a star in the arts and entertainment scene, now well into its second decade of
performing a rich and diverse catalog with orchestras across North America.
PETER BRENNAN
Founder & Guitarist
Born in England, Peter Brennan studied Music
Composition and Theory at Western University in London,
Ontario, where he now resides. During the ’70s and
’80s, he toured extensively throughout North America,
establishing himself as a guitarist and Music Director
with a variety of groups. He became an in-demand
producer/arranger with top-ten successes in the UK,
producer awards, and grants in Canada, where he was selected as a Juno Awards
judge. Peter has always loved the sound of a rock band with an orchestra. In the
early ’90s, this dream became a reality with the establishment of Jeans ’n Classics.
Peter recently received the Mayor’s Award for the Arts in London, Ontario, and was
named to the University of Western Ontario Faculty of Music “Wall of Fame.”
