Born in Alabama and raised on the family farm, you might expect to find
him as country as that all sounds, but it is only a small part of the
puzzle that creates Dew’s unique sound. When he’s not dueling at Rum
Runner’s, the singer-songwriter is busy recording songs that showcase a range of stories from his life, and
performing with his band, dEw & uR fRiEnds.

A few years later, he moved to Nashville and joined a touring original country band opening for everyone from Lori Morgan to George Strait.
Upon leaving Nashville, Michael moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan and started playing original music in the college scene there. It was in Kalamazoo that he walked into his first Rum Runners, and has been working for the company for almost two decades ever since.

"Hi friends! My name is Brett Hilbert. I have been playing piano since I was six years old. I started out with classical piano, began singing in choir at fifteen, and then over the years learned to play the popular songs that we all love to hear! At sixteen, I started preforming at local bars and continued playing professionally for a few years until I started dueling piano. I fell in love with it and have been at it for seven years now! I have been with Rum Runners in Sandestin for three years now and have not looked back! I love creating special moments with audience members and making sure everyone has a great time! "

I grew up in Lansing, Michigan. My foundation and beginnings in the dueling pianos concept came from none other than Rum Runners in 2012. Since then, I have not only played for Rum Runners, but many different dueling pianos establishments, as well as private engagements, across the United States. In addition, I have performed extensively on cruise ships with dueling pianos, reaching over 25 different countries. My musical foundation comes from my early years in church and grade school, and my mother putting me in piano lessons at the age of 8. I am grateful to do what I love for a living. My passion is playing the drums, and I have a wide variety of hobbies and interests. Come experience Rum Runners sometime — we are always having a fun time there!
