Moody, vibey and spirited, troubadour Keven Brennan’s music is at once retro and futuristic, equal parts beatnik and boogie. Jagged word sculptures tell tales from a life spent shining light on overlooked characters and their struggles with life’s contradictions. Stand in the Light weaves fluently through musical genres, coming to rest finally at that spot where Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Captain Beefheart duke it out for a place in your heart, your cerebellum and your dirty old soul. Produced by Keven Brennan and backed by the avant-jazz group Kneebody, Stand in the Light is released by Los Angeles based indie-label f.Boo Music. It is defiantly original, yet owes much to the diverse urban landscape of L.A. “My day might begin producing show tunes and end jamming with an international improv ensemble. And sometimes in the middle of the night, I paint while listening to conspiracy theories.” (Keven Brennan)
