Vocal Sessions Complete

Three days of work completed! I'm feeling relieved and elated. Thank-you Jeremy Darby (owner of Canterbury Music, left) and Ross Wooldridge for your inspiration and motivation to create something new, beautiful, and exciting!

Hi , The last few days at Canterbury Music Company have been thrilling and incredibly encouraging. For almost a year I've been looking at this bar raised in front of me. Now I know that I can make the jump. It's done! I'm so excited at the energy and the beauty of this collection of songs. Each one offers something special to the listener. More information about release dates, etc. will be coming soon. If you're on Instagram I'll be sharing photos and news over the coming weeks, as well as using this email list. My Instagram is @brendabrownmusic. On Twitter you can get me at @bbrown_music. And Facebook, brendabrownmusic. Thank-you for following me. ~ Brenda

Possibility

The possibility of making your own music in this day and age, and reaching thousands, if not millions of people – sometimes it boggles my mind. But then I remember; it's just about the song ...

Getting ready for another night of singing at The Olde
School Restaurant in Brantford. 

Thank-you for Listening!

I've found Reverbnation.com to be an interesting place. While most of the people who use the platform are other musicians, I've been pleased to meet a number of new fans and supporters by posting my music and my press kit there. If you want to see my page and listen to my music here's the link:

Today I learned that I'm #1 on the jazz chart for Hamilton, #1 on the jazz chart for Toronto Region, and #2 on the jazz chart for Canada.

Here's the link to the current National jazz chart on Reverbnation.

Thank-you everyone for your support and interest!

Best regards, Brenda
