About Big Time Grain Co.
Bret and Chad grew up in small town Colby, KS on wheat and bean farm. Tractors, hoeing weeds and cleaning dad’s shop made up most days. Country and folk music made up a big part of the family culture with everyone on their mom’s side playing multiple instruments. Bret learned bass and Chad guitar and soon were traveling all over the midwest playing in rock bands. After years of playing together and separate the Bourquin brothers came together with the inception of BTGC and haven’t looked back. Combine the passion and creativity of the brothers along with Colin Ridge on bass and Ty Unes on drums, and you get a rock solid energetic version of country and country rock sure to keep you engaged and excited to be part of their family.
