Dubliner LOUIS BRENNAN is a singer-songwriter in the blues/folk tradition whose work has drawn favourable comparisons to Leonard Cohen, Guy Clark and Kris Kristofferson.His folk however aren’t the field hands and travelling minstrels of yore but the repressed middle managers and urbanites of late-stage capitalism. They populate tales of bad sex, half-drunk commutes and claustrophobic relationships delivered in Brennan’s cracked baritone, at times intimate, at times spuriously broad, peppered with pitch-black humour.
His debut album Dead Capital (2018) earned 9/10 from Americana UK, while his second record Love Island (2022), recorded at Rockfield Studios and mixed at Abbey Road, was hailed by Lonesome Highway as ‘an essential album for our times’. The title track of which was featured in the BAFTA-winning BBC film Quiet Life.
Brennan has performed at The Ramblin’ Roots Revue, The Red Rooster Festival and Americana Fest UK, and has toured The UK, Ireland, Germany and Italy. His third album is due for release in spring 2026.
