Bre Kennedy

Singer-songwriter Bre Kennedy has cemented herself as an artist to watch and one of the brightest voices out of the New Nashville music scene. Kennedy creates music soaked in rich, timeless storytelling with innate pop sensibilities. Influenced by mesmerizing talents like Brandi Carlile, Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty. Kennedy’s delicate, raspy sound soars as she touches on profound themes around life’s messy moments. Kennedy reveals, “I usually try to have a smile on when it comes to talking about the mess of being human.” After a brief stint in LA, she hopped in her Nissan and headed to Nashville where she discovered her true musical identity. She began writing for artists like Joy Oladukun, Echosmith and Nina Nesbitt in Nashville by day and playing her own songs at prominent Nashville venues like The 5 Spot and The Basement, where she caught the attention of industry and fans alike. Over the past couple of years, Kennedy has sold-out headlining shows at venues like Nashville’s historic Exit In, she performed at festivals like Bonnarroo, Winnepeg Folkfest and SummerFest and has supported such renowned artists as Sheryl Crow, Gary Clark Jr., Fitz and the Tantrums, The Paper Kites, Caitlyn Smith and Stephen Wilson JR.
