Kieran Brown is a New York City based multi-genre vocalist, composer, and arranger with a strong concentration in Jazz, R&B, and The American Songbook. Since moving to NYC in April 2023, Kieran has performed all over town with highly esteemed musicians such as former members of the John Pizzarelli Quartet Konrad Paszkudski and Mike Karn, Emmet Cohen, Joe Farnsworth, and many others. She regularly appears at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Dizzy’s Club, Birdland Jazz Club, The Jazz Club at Aman, The Django, Chelsea Table + Stage, Mezzrow, the Green Room 42, and many other notable venues.
Kieran Brown’s debut album, Loving You, is set for release this July. The songs Brown has selected for her debut are pulled from a rich history of classics that she makes her own. American Songbook Association Magazine cited her as a “performer who can present skillfully contrasting styles,” and this album is a fantastic representation of that mastery. Stand outs on the album are Joe Block’s arrangement of Mandal and Mercer’s “Emily,” Brown’s own arrangement of the title track “Loving You” by Stephen Sondheim, and Aaron Matson’s arrangement of Burt Bacharach’s “Alfie.” These arrangements perfectly capture Brown’s diverse musical and vocal range, going from American Songbook to contemporary and folk.
