Bre Kennedy

Bre Kennedy is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter acclaimed for her introspective&nbsp;storytelling and evocative performances. Her work has been praised by Billboard, Paste, American Songwriter, and featured on key Spotify playlists including New Music Friday and Today’s Singer-Songwriters. Known for her powerful live shows, she has headlined sold-out performances at Nashville staples like Exit/In, The Basement East, The Blue Room, and supported artists such as NEEDTOBREATHE, Stephen Wilson Jr., The Paper Kites, Joy Oladokun and Sheryl Crow at the Ryman Auditorium. As a songwriter, she has collaborated with industry standouts including Jake Wesley Rogers and Lori McKenna, with whom she co-wrote the acclaimed track “Before I Have a Daughter.” Her forthcoming fourth studio album, The Alchemist, released on January 30th 2026 marks a new creative chapter—an unflinchingly honest and artfully crafted body of work shaped by personal growth, emotional clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose.&nbsp; Created in collaboration with trusted co-writers including Melissa Fuller, Ben West, Michigander, Hadley&nbsp;Kennary, Micah&nbsp;Tawlks, Cheyenna Rose, Spencer Rabin, Collin Pastore, Jake Finch, Wilson&nbsp;Bcbeath&nbsp;and John Stark, the album is more than a collection of songs;&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;an intentionally crafted map home. Bre threads hope through the darker moments, writing with the conviction of someone who knows that beauty can bloom from the hardest places. “I want to encourage people with my songs to see the flowers through the concrete,” she says — and&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;this sentiment&nbsp;that’s&nbsp;the heartbeat of the album.&nbsp;&nbsp; Bre has cemented herself as an artist to watch and one of the brightest voices out of the New Nashville music scene both on stage and in the writing room, recently securing cuts with artists such as Lily Meola, Willie Nelson, Lukas Nelson, Joy Oladokun, Lori McKenna, GAYLE, Britney Spencer and Billy Raffoul.&nbsp; Happens on the following Dates:<ul><li>May 2, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada)</li><li>May 3, 2026, 6:00pm to 7:30pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada)</li></ul>
