Brigid Kaelin is a plucky redhead.

In the past year, Brigid Kaelin has played accordion/piano/musical saw/ and sung with acts ranging from Elvis Costello and the Imposters, #1-charting rock bands Seven Mary Three and Days of the New, saxophone legend Maceo Parker, Sun Records producer/engineer Cowboy Jack Clement, Johnny Cash's drummer W.S. "Fluke" Holland, Nashville's famed MuzikMafia, the Nashville Star House Band, Louisville rocker Tim Krekel, LA/Louisville favorite Love Jones and many others. She tours regularly as piano player for indie-rock legend Peter Searcy.

But Brigid Kaelin is more than just a sideman. She made the front page of The Tennessean on her very first day in Nashville, and has since been making news whereever she sings.

Recently voted #33 in WFPK’s Greatest Artists of All Time Countdown (Brigid’s idol, John Prine, was #34, Bob Dylan #29, and Elvis Costello #9), Brigid Kaelin puts on live show unlike anyone else. Part vaudeville, part rock, Kaelin writes killer songs and knows how to entertain. Her new record, West 28th Streetl, is part vaudeville, part blues, part pop and all Americana, Brigid's sense of humor and zest for life shine through her live show, as she has been called "the Bette Midler of alt-country," and her skills on the piano, accordion, guitar, and various other "instruments" never undermine her "clever, thoughtful songwriting."
