DESCRIPTION

Tunes to tap your feet…..or break your heart.  Originals outfit Waiting for Brenda weave lyrics from song-writer Brenda of love, despair, heart-ache, hope, healing and humour with the sounds of Dobro, Fiddle, Bass, Drums, Guitar & Vocals.   Waiting for Brenda brings together countrified indie folk with tons of heart, soul & swagger. 

Singer and Songwriter Brenda Lee Kelly melodically crafts songs about love gone wrong and right, stories of places travelled and the journey of life, delving into the realm of stream of consciousness yet still bringing meaning and stories to life to tell the tale, whilst not forgetting to not take it all too seriously. Deep rooted in the Alt Country/Folk sound yet still not beholden to any particular genre if the song calls for something different.

Waiting for Brenda joins together twangy guitar, lap-steel, fiddle, drums and bass with tons of heart, soul & swagger. Brenda Lee Kelly on vocals & acoustic guitar, Garry Gman Bain on Electric Guitar, Peter "I've got a Fender" Cheney on bass, John (Johnno) "he's not evil" Harrison on dobro/lap-steel guitar & harmonica, Luke Mysliwy on fiddle & Craig (Billy) Tobin on the skins. All members bringing a bucket of talent, joy, swagger and stomp to the originals project.  With a huge back log of musical collaborations between them from country, bluegrass to irish punk and 80’s covers, yet still keen to express something new in these songs
