Louis Brennan
Front Room Weston-Super-Mare, Weston-Super-Mare, BS23 1FF
London-based Dubliner, Louis Brennan, is a singer-songwriter in the folk tradition. His folk however aren’t the field hands and travelling minstrels of yore, but the repressed middle managers and ennui-ridden urbanites of late-stage capitalism. They populate tales of bad sex, half-drunk commutes and interpersonal claustrophobia delivered in Brennan’s cracked baritone, at times embarrassingly intimate, at times spuriously broad, peppered with pitch-black humour.
Brennan has supported award-winning artists such as Hannah White and Arborist, forging a reputation on the roots music circuit as part of a loose collective of some of London’s finest songwriters and musicians, selling out the iconic Wilton’s music hall as part of a songwriter’s circle and appearing at two sold out shows at London’s Jazz Cafe in tribute to the late, great John Prine.

‘His wry tales manage to make that which is moribund sound full of life’ – R2
“There are moments in life when a song just stops you. From the very first second to the second it ends, all you can do is listen, caught under
it’s spell. When it feels like the song fills the air around you, and all you can do is breathe it in” – HOLLER
