Nashville singer-songwriter Bre Kennedy’s music weaves rich, timeless narratives with a pop twist, diving deep into the beautiful chaos of life. After picking up an acoustic guitar at the age of 12, Kennedy started on a path that would see her gracing stages in both Los Angeles and Nashville, with electrifying live performances.

As an independent artist, Kennedy has shared music ranging from the hauntingly beautiful Jealous of Birds EP in 2019 to the introspective Twenty Something EP in 2020, and the soul-stirring Note to Self in 2021. In 2022, she took the next step, signing with Nettwerk Music Group and giving the world her luminous Clarity EP. She self-proclaims her wisdom on her website, saying, “I usually try to have a smile on when it comes to talking about the mess of being human.”

Mirroring Kennedy herself, the release of Scream Over Everything, which coincided with the end of her nationwide headlining tour, offers a deeply emotive and personal account of Kennedy’s life. With lyrics that come straight from the heart and a delivery that’s both intimate and infectious, this Nashville-based artist paints vivid pictures of her thoughts, fears, and dreams, akin to a masterful novelist.

Kennedy’s music encapsulates a unique style that seamlessly marries sharp storytelling with an enthralling pop sound, conveying raw emotions that resonate with a universal spirit. With over 10 million streams and accolades from esteemed voices like American Songwriter, Paste and Ones To Watch, Kennedy has captured the hearts of listeners and critics alike.

Beyond her own sold-out shows, Kennedy has graced the stage alongside legends like Sheryl Crow and Gary Clark Jr. In 2022, she embarked on tours with Joy Oladokun and Paper Kites. Noted on Kennedy’s website, Consequence of Sound fittingly described her work as “contemplative and vulnerable.”

Kennedy’s upcoming fourth studio album, The Alchemist, due out January 30, 2026, marks a bold new creative chapter of an unflinchingly honest, artfully crafted collection shaped by personal growth, emotional clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. In tandem with the news of a release date for the The Alchemist, Kennedy shared a link to The Alchemist Newsletter, where she shares short stories, reflections, and behind-the-scenes looks at the process behind the songs on her upcoming album.

To close out 2025, Kennedy will join Jade Bird and NEEDTOBREATHE on their North American tours.
