Curt Brickley is a Christian songwriter and storyteller whose lyrics are born from a full life of adventure and faith, surviving four heart attacks, a brain hemorrhage, multiple strokes and years of cognitive struggle after brain damage. Once a Division I athlete and U.S. Marine, Curt faced the fight of his life—and discovered that God can bring unexpected creativity out of brokenness.
His songs blend raw honesty, faith, and the strong biblical belief that no season is wasted in God’s hands. (Romans 8:28)

BACKROAD BELIEVER ALBUM
Backroad Believer is where faith meets real life — the middle ground between Sunday morning and Monday’s grind. It’s the sound of dirt roads, long shifts, and honest hearts trying to live out what they believe. From the rodeo to the power line, from the badge to the backroads, these songs honor the ones who keep showing up — flawed, faithful, and unashamed. This is the blue-collar chapter of the trilogy — less pulpit, more pavement — where grace looks like calloused hands, long miles, and second chances.
BLOG
Curt Brickley is a Christian songwriter, poet, and storyteller whose life has been marked by both adventure and adversity—and ultimately, by redemption.
Born with a spirit of determination, Curt grew up writing, exploring, and pushing himself beyond the limits. As a young man, he ran onto the field as a Division I wide receiver for the Arkansas Razorbacks, feeling the roar of thousands of fans in the stands. Soon after, he earned the honor of becoming a U.S. Marine, graduating as his platoon’s distinguished honor graduate. Whether he was skydiving, racing bikes, or working in faraway countries, Curt’s life was a series of bold steps, hard work, and big risks. But no amount of courage could prepare him for the fight that would define his next chapter.
Today, Curt sees every lyric and melody as a way to reach others who feel worn down or unworthy—those who need to know that no matter what they’ve lost, they are never beyond God’s redeeming grace.
