Born and raised in New Hampshire, Brendan’s inspiration stems from the rich and time-honored singer/songwriter traditions of New England. However, unlike his predecessors, Brendan has fused these traditional sensibilities with the experiences of his own generation, resulting in a sound that is overwhelmingly unique and original, yet resonates with the soulful simplicity of the past.

He graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in the spring of 2006. He released his debut album, The Day is Brave, through the major record label Universal/Decca Records on June 3rd, 2008.

His song entitled “Hero’s Song” appeared on the Body of War: Songs that Inspired an Iraq War Veteran soundtrack.

I came across him quite by accident, when looking up information on another singer on a music blog 2 years ago. I wish he would still have the acoustic versions that were on his music myspace page originally. I also had a chance to see him perform in NY.

Saw him (and heard him) for the first time tonight with Tyrone Wells. Amazing. Such a talented guy. Amazing lyrics. Amazing music. Just amazing. I am very impressed. Especially, because I don't usually get into this kind of music, but I am really really digging his stuff.
