Folk singer and songwriter Brittany Jean brings an intimate set to McGlinn's Public House, sharing originals that wander from sunflower fields to the Irish coastline, from wild hearts to a hidden cabin in the north. Based in a small apple town along Washington's Columbia River, she has carried her songs to stages far from home, including the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville and an opening appearance for Three Dog Night in New York City. Her discography includes six studio albums and an EP recorded in Nashville, and the songs Golden Hour, Lightfoot, and Dear Mr. Green from Colors & Covers were finalists in the International Acoustic Music Awards. A seventh album is underway, with this appearance centered on heartfelt, story-driven folk.
