Bret Bogle, AKA Faunt LeRoy, discovered his passion for music at the age of 5. Raised in Wagoner, Oklahoma, Bret’s earliest memories are filled with music. Playing music wasn’t just a hobby for Bret; it was a calling.

Guided by his mother’s musical talents, the family played at local events across Oklahoma and Arkansas. These experiences not only honed Bret’s musical skills but also instilled in him an appreciation for Blues, Rock, Country and Gospel music. Bret made his first memorable appearance on a local radio show in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This early exposure to the spotlight fueled Bret’s passion for performance and set the stage for his future in Blues music.

Music was part of both his mother and fathers families. His dads first cousin Bob Bogle was one of the founding members of the instrumental Band (The Ventures) and when he was a young kid Bret remembers playing one of Bob’s guitars at his home in Oregon and it is a memory that is still vivid to this day.

Today, Bret leads a blues band, Faunt LeRoy and the Pickled Okra Playboys, where he continues to draw inspiration from his Oklahoma roots. The band’s unique blend of musical influences and dedication to their heritage is reflected in their performances and music. Many thanks to members of his band past and present.
