Singer/Songwriter Brenn Hill
Singer/Songwriter Brenn Hill doesn’t just sing about the American West, he reveals its heart to anyone who will take the time to listen. His most recent release, “Equine,” (2010) clearly defines what might be his most profound work to date, as well as a mirror of his growth as an artist over the last ten years. Its broad theme of horses, the cowboy’s working partner, is but a pathway into and through his own personal journey. No longer just the observer or narrator of our Western story, but its strongest interpreter, life’s trials and tribulations are also his raw material. Faith, trust and love are his guide.

If this website visit is familiar territory to the reader, then you need no further introduction. You know the man. But Brenn Hill, the recording artist, is no longer the youthful rising star who caught the attention of the Western music world when he broke out at 20. At 34, time and experience have honed a finer voice and a keener eye. In addition, the struggle for the health and safety of his young son Briggs has added a new edge to his music, a sharper sword with which to face the battle. Many of Brenn’s fans know about Briggs’ fight with spinal and brain stem cancer. It’s been [ссылка] for the family and although Briggs is finally home and out of imminent danger, a long and difficult road still lies ahead. Brenn’s ongoing commitment to his music throughout the ordeal has been one way to find meaning in the battle.
“Overall, I want a listener to know that my music isn’t about me,” explains Hill. “It’s how I make my living and not a vehicle for stardom. My goal is to present a valid story about people, places, and events that are song-worthy. If I can challenge someone’s perspective, or offer a new one on a classic theme or issue, I’ve achieved my goal. I feel a deep sense of purpose with my music and am honored to have the opportunity that I have. I deeply appreciate my listeners. The greatest compliments I receive come directly from those that listen to my music. When a song touches them so profoundly that they tell me, “that song changed my life,” or, “that song got me through a hard time,” or, “that song’s about me,” then I know I got it right. No amount of money or recognition could mean more than that.”

If you’re a newcomer to the world of Brenn Hill, celebrate the introduction. You’ll be glad you did. Born into a 6th generation of a family anchored to the West and raised in Utah, Brenn and his music revisit the many stories that come from the land with a fresh, contemporary and personal twist. Home for the Hill’s is Hooper, a rural community in Northern Utah where Brenn resides with his wife, three children and a cavvy of horses.
Like other award-winning recording artists, Brenn is committed to his music and the making of every album is a milestone. For each and every CD release in his [ссылка] career, the title list is a key to a wealth of personal experiences and images. The making of “Equine,” rich with story and the added musical accompaniment of some of the best back-up players in Nashville, was that kind of synthesis. In his own words:
“In about 2005, I felt somewhat burned-out as an artist. My extensive travels took me far and away from my young family for long periods of time and I felt detached from the life that inspired me to write in the first place. So I restructured in an effort to refocus on my songwriting. About the same time, I acquired a buckskin mare from my cousin that was part of a bloodline that he and my uncle perpetuated for about two decades. My Uncle Ray was killed in ’96 and this mare was one of the last of that bloodline. She was hard-headed and impatient but loved to chase cows. She helped me realize again my love of horses, land, and people. About half of the songs from Equine came during this time.”
“Several years later, my son Briggs, who has been like my shadow since birth, was diagnosed with brain and spinal cancer. As he clung to life during treatment, I turned again to my notepad and guitar for solace and comfort. I learned that I could write from the depths of my soul. Another half of Equine came along. When I think back on it, the unique partnership that’s created by way of the relationship with a horse is what moved me the most. Standing in a pasture, horses are vulnerable, just as I am. But united with a good horse, I can get to far-flung places I wouldn’t otherwise see. And sitting tall in the saddle, descending down an [ссылка] draw, together, we become larger than life. At the flanks of a bunch of [ссылка] cows, it takes the nudge of a spur and a “Hoooraw” to get a good cow horse to pin its ears back and bare its teeth. We both feel invincible.”

Staying invincible is the underlying message of “Equine,” as well as several other albums that have come before. “Call You Cowboy,” “Endangered” and “What A Man’s Got to Do” come to mind. Throughout them all, Brenn’s poetic lyrics revolve around recurring themes of hope, change, understand ...
