Singer, songwriter and daredevil Eddy Brennan (formerly Liz Brennan) creates surprise-filled songs infused with rock and pop that tell dramatic stories filtered through a slightly cracked lens. Proclaimed “demented pop,” her music is propelled by her charismatic voice that breathes fresh life into lyrics inspired by the intensity, struggle and grit of New York City and the bizarre worlds beyond. A ready, willing and able mistress of everything from murder ballads to love songs and upbeat party tunes, Eddy’s unconventional, theatrical approach to songwriting mingles contagious ‘70s good-time rock riffs and pop beats with complex poetry, layers that sparkle through her well-crafted recordings. Her uproarious performances invite audiences to explore her inner world and dance with her through the apocalypse.

A classically-trained musician and opera singer, Eddy was trapped in a world of made-for-TV pop music and light rock in her youth until she heard Peter Gabriel’s “Solsberry Hill” and never looked back. She soon found herself hooked on the hard stuff: Bruce Springsteen; Stevie Nicks; Kate Bush and even Spinal Tap. Though her head has always been swimming with melodies and words, a class on The Beatles finally pushed her towards sophisticated songwriting and now gives Liz the audacity to sing about her recovery from a crippling addiction to The Corrs, that time she let a transvestite hitchhiker drive her mother’s car and other scenes from her own life.
To date, Eddy has put out an EP under her former moniker, Liz Brennan, as well as a series of singles, several in collaboration with Kevin Killen who is best known for his work on Peter Gabriel’s So and more recent, the Grammy-award winning Blackstar record by David Bowie. Among her singles “The Party Song,” which takes a satirical look at party culture and the concept of the party anthem, went viral on YouTube exceeding 2M views due to Eddy sending out a fake casting call to all available bachelor’s willing to dance in only a tuxedo top to her song.
Her new single, “Small Apartment”, embraces New York City life as she tells her story about nosey-neighbor, Roberta, who was notorious for her exaggerated complaints and constant eavesdropping into Eddy’s business. Eddy is also planning the release of her new E.P., “Expected To Fly” which will have a collection of 5 songs that take a dive deep into rock, pop, folk, dance and the multitude of genres and styles that have contributed to her ongoing evolution as an artist. The album will be available Summer 2019 and the first single, “Small Apartment”, out now!
