Colleen Brown: June 11
Colleen Brown: Friday, June 11. 8:00, $15 at the door: The Pearl Company is delighted to present this recipient of the Alberta Emerging Artist Award and finalist in this year’s CBC Song Quest. Multi- instrumentalist Brown has been called “a national treasure in the making.” She has steadily been gaining momentum since she first self-released “Foot In Heart” in 2008, with her songs featured in regular airplay on Rich Terfry’s Radio 2 program ‘Drive’. “[The album] sounds like some of the best music you heard on pop-radio back in the ’70s…I love this album,” says Terfry.
She has shared stages with a broad range of artists including Hawksley Workman, Frank Black, Hey Rosetta, Danny Michel, The McDades, and Adam Gregory. Following a recent show SEE Magazine’s Fish Griwkowsky said, ” There is a confidence about her new songs that’s actually scary, savaging the things we men do with a sarcastic lilt and an eager smile for the next round of battle.” http://colleenbrownmusic.com
