dmonton, AB based singer-songwriter Colleen Brown re-released her album Foot In Heart with Emm Gryner’s Dead Daisy Records & Outside Music on March 16, 2010 and is steadily gaining career momentum and recognition.

Recipient of the Alberta Emerging Artist Award and finalist in last year’s CBC Song Quest, multi- instrumentalist Brown has been called "a national treasure in the making - along the lines of Joni Mitchell, Anne Murray, Gordon Lightfoot or K.D.Lang." (Sandra Sperounes of The Edmonton Journal)

Since she first self-released Foot In Heart in 2008, she’s enjoyed dedicated radio play on CBC, CKUA and college stations across the country and placement in a CBC Radio 2 TV commercial. Most notably, Brown’s songs have been featured in regular airplay on Rich Terfry’s Radio 2 program ‘Drive’. "[The album] sounds like some of the best music you heard on pop-radio back in the '70s...I love this album," says Terfry (aka Buck 65). That musician, MC and radio host was so enamoured with Colleen’s music he has invited her into the studio along with another self-professed fan, Hawksley Workman, to co-write and sing in an experimental studio-based writing project. Brown is also currently recording her third solo studio album, featuring a song co-written with Pierre Marchand (most notably longtime Producer/Co-writer for Sarah MacLachlan.)

To date, Colleen Brown - both solo, and as part of her side projects ‘The Secretaries’ and ‘The Kit Kat Club’ - has performed more than 300 shows, (including this year’s Edmonton Folk Fest) sharing stages with a broad range of artists across Canada including Jim Cuddy, Hawksley Workman, Kathleen Edwards, Frank Black, Gogol Bordello, Hey Rosetta, Dan Mangan, Danny Michel, Hannah Georgas, and Fred Eaglesmith. She also toured across Canada this October with Canadian folk/rock icons Crash Test Dummies.

Following a recent show where Brown supported Frank Black, SEE Magazine’s Fish Griwkowsky said, "Colleen Brown played the show of her life, opening up. There is a confidence about her new songs that’s actually scary, savaging the things we men do with a sarcastic lilt and an eager smile for the next round of battle." Colleen was also chosen by popular online music site NXEW as the ‘big find’ of the 2010 NXNE Festival; and her composition Western Fire was one of the winning entries in the All Albertan Song Contest.
