Brennen writes, picks and sings with authenticity and style. Whether you’re a lifelong country fan or just discovering the beauty of western swing and bluegrass: chances are she will have written a song that you’ll love. From incredible collaborations with Asleep at the Wheel, Melissa Carpenter and Noel McCay to her easygoing, tomato garden life in the Texan country, we’ll go over her amazing career in a two-parter episode.
In this second section, Kikki reacts to an outrageous comment made under one of Brennen Leigh’s interviews on Youtube – an epic roast dedicated to an internet bully. We go on discussing our Brennen Leigh songs, her songwriting highlights and some trivia on up she’s been up to lately. Listening to part 1 first is highly recommended!
