PRAISE for Brigid Kaelin
"
...a genre-busting record, featuring a sound that ranges from acoustic rock to swing to folk to country and beyond, with Kaelin equally adept at all."- New Southerner Magazine
"To say she is multi-talented is certainly an understatement."
- Today's Woman Magazine
"The
woman can write songs." - Louisville Music News
"...[Brigid Kaelin is] a lyrically driven musician who is as adept
at owning her music as Joni Mitchell and as amusingly -- and amazingly
-- versatile vocally as the late Eva Cassidy."
- Angie Fenton, Velocity Weekly
"Brigid Kaelin is always a treat." - The Courier Journal
"...successfully merges compelling lyrics with a strong but vulnerable
voice perfect for melancholy ballads as well as up-tempo sing-alongs."
- LEO Weekly, Sara Havens
"Subtle and seductive." - Stephen George, LEO Weekly

Brigid Kaelin made the front page of the Nashville newspaper on her very first day in town. Wherever she goes, people pay attention.
Kaelin's novelty Chanukah record, Mazel Tonk!, received national airplay on countless radio stations, and the video for her single, "Blue Dreidel No. 9," was one of the most popular YouTube videos of the holiday season. But Kaelin is more than just a novelty act.
Recently voted "Best Singer-Songwriter in Louisville" and Number 33 in WFPK's "Greatest Artists of All Time" Countdown (John Prine was 34 and Bob Dylan 29), Brigid Kaelin is a Louisville favorite and bestseller.
Brigid Kaelin was one of 56 worldwide finalists in the USA Networks's 2007 season of Nashville Star,, and her song "Future Mr. Used-to-Be" won an Honor Award in the Great American Song Contest.
After graduating summa cum laude from New York University at age 20, Brigid Kaelin produced documentaries for CBS News in NYC. The youngest Associate Producer on staff, Kaelin left her career behind her when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. While her mother went through treatment, Kaelin began singing in Louisville dive bars. She never went back to television.
Known for her clever songwriting and energetic live show, Brigid Kaelin is also a seriously trained musician. You may come to the show for her red hair, and you may laugh at the yodeling. But then you’ll be completely amazed by her virtuosic chops on the accordion, piano, guitar, and musical saw, and suddenly you’ll realize that you love her songs too. Part vaudeville, part rock, Kaelin writes killer songs and knows how to entertain.
Kaelin is also a top-notch session musician and a sought-after utility player. She loves touring in other people's bands and playing her own music along the way. And when she’s in charge of the microphone, the whole room listens.
Her dream job is playing accordion for John Prine, but she loves supporting good, talented, fun songwriters in any style of music.
And she knows that you need more accordion in your life. It's just what you've been missing.
Brigid can be found in Louisville, Nashville, or on the road.
