Born in rural Oregon, Brandi Shearer's singing career began by entertaining her grandmother with versions of "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue" and "Isn't It Romantic" played by numbers on a Sears Roebuck electric piano. Later, she moved to Europe where she learned about Billie Holiday and singing effectively in front of drunken audiences. French girls taught her to artfully apply makeup and wear her hair just so. She sang in bars, clubs, festivals& living rooms across the continent until landing in Hungary. After some time spent living the expatriate life, she returned to the States to pursue a career in music on her native soil. That's the music story.
Brandi is setting off for a national tour of record stores and we're are ground zero, so please join us to help send her out with her pockets full of stars.
Some recent press:
"With a style reminiscent of Norah Jones at times and Fiona Apple at others, the sultry-voiced Shearer has crafted a very good collection of bluesy, heartfelt tales of love and loss, such as the bittersweet Lullabies." -PEOPLE MAGAZINE
"The singer you should get to know well is Brandi Shearer. She has a heaven-scent, heart-shuddering vocal style." -LA WEEKLY
"Brandi Shearer's brief set showcased her impressively bluesy voice and songwriting.... There's more than a touch of Janis Joplin.... Shearer's set had a comfortable lived-in feeling, while Shearer always seemed ready to cut loose and start smashing the furniture". -VARIETY
