“OK everybody, thank you so much for coming. Please take your seats and get comfortable so we can start. This is a special night and we are so glad all of you could join us.
I want to welcome all of you, to thank you for being a part of this, and to introduce the artist we are about to hear from.
Our guest tonight is performing songwriter and recording artist Brody Bond.
Brody lives in Baltimore, Maryland, with his wife and four kids. He performs in many types of venues, like houses, churches, listening rooms all over the US. And he’s actively booking more concerts if you’re interested.
His latest record “The Mo(µ)rning EPs” released at the end of 2022. It was produced by Jeremy Casella and recorded in iconic studios in Nashville with grammy-winning players who have worked with U2, Taylor Swift, Alison Krauss, and Norah Jones, among others.
You can listen to this on all streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
To listen to most of Brody’s songs is to fall into a bit of a trap. You might hear something that at first feels comfortable and familiar. But then you realize something else is happening. You’re being offered new ways to perceive your experience in the world.
His songs have been described as an emotional resource. With a voice that’s confident though fragile, melodies that take surprising turns, and lyrics that are as smart as they are emotionally vulnerable, Brody’s songs will delight especially the critical listener, and especially anyone who has grown from heartbreaking circumstances.
Please give a warm welcome to Brody Bond…”
