5/2009 Courier-Journal "The Buzz" Column

When Brigid Kaelin headed to the legendary Barnstable Brown Gala on Derby Eve wearing a simple blue dress and a pair of rhinestone cowboy boots, the local singer/songwriter didn't expect to land in the celebrity spotlight. The songbird hopped on stage for a guest performance ... and the next thing she knew, she was singing backup for Kid Rock and Taylor Dayne.“ The most exciting part was singing “Stop! In the Name of Love” with Mary Wilson of The Supremes."

6/2008 Louisville Music News Review of West 28th Street

5/14/2008 LEO Weekly Review of West 28th Street
"The entire album is filled with such emotional honesty and glimpses into a left-of-center view of the world that is refreshing and endearing, all delivered in a stripped-down, Americana-meets-pop (with an occasional dash of jazz) style. There’s not a bad track in the bunch," -Kevin Gibson

5/10/2008 Elvis Costello and Brigid Kaelin Concert review in Courier Journal "Elvis Costello has always had a gift for finding the perfect collaborators, from Nick Lowe to George Jones to Burt Bacharach. But he had to come to Louisville to find a flaming redhead prodigious on both the accordion and musical saw. That would be Brigid Kaelin, who managed to steal at least a little of Costello's show Wednesday at the Louisville Palace -- if not a little of his heart. Diana Krall might want to watch her back." - Jeffrey Lee Puckett
