An early morning phone call in 2017 changed the lives of two teenage brothers bonded by their love of percussion. One died tragically in a car accident while the other determined to make sense of his loss through music. September 2017, at the age of 19, Ryan McCutcheon, a wildly talented percussionist and older brother of Brett, was killed in a car accident – his family left to wade through the heaviness of death. Five years later, Brett released the hauntingly emotional album “The Ocean – Five Years.” Written in collaboration with Brett’s friend and vocalist, June Bracken, it fuses classical orchestration and pop as it explores the depth and complexity of grief. The film of the same name mirrors the album’s track list to ebb and flow with stories of friends and family who share Brett’s journey. Even through grief, they are determined to honor Ryan’s memory and legacy with love, music education and hope.
