Hailed as a "self-styled poetess, folk goddess and country waif" by the BBC, Pieta Brown first came to international prominence with the release of her self-titled debut in 2002. With a relentless energy and vision, over the course of ensuing years, she’s gone on to tour the US, Australia, and Europe extensively and release another eight critically lauded records, prompting NPR to applaud her "moody, ethereal" songwriting, and the New York Times to praise her “sweet, smoky voice.”
Continually revealing new layers as both a songwriter and performer, Pieta is being recognized as one of modern Americana's true gems, with much attention being paid not only to her distinct sound and style, but also the power of her singing and songwriting. With new musical experiments and collaborations in motion, Pieta’s music and artistry continue to expand and rise.
