More about the guest musician
:
Kentucky-born Brigid Kaelin is a Renaissance woman, excelling as a storyteller, musician, writer and illustrator. Classically-trained on several instruments, she's equally at ease at a Nashville session as she is entertaining crowds in random pubs.
Her latest album, Those Who Drift Away, was produced by Grammy-nominated Steve Cooley (The Dillards), who also happens to be the best banjo player in the world (we dare you to ask Bela about Steve).
Highlights of Brigid's career include opening for bands like Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Ben Folds Five, Jim James (My Morning Jacket) and Loretta Lynn, being a musical guest on NPR's A Prairie Home Companion, touring Europe annually, being named Louisville's "Best Singer-Songwriter" multiple years, being offered a leading role in a national touring Broadway musical (which she perhaps-foolishly turned down to care for her dying mother), and being a vocal coach to A-list Hollywood actors. She occasionally hosts the long-time radio variety program Kentucky Homefront and is the musical director for Kentucky USA.
When she's not on stage, Brigid writes the popular blog The Red Accordion Diaries, about everything from tours, traveling, and her newest endeavor: motherhood.
