Brennan Smith is a world traveler and a troubadour in every sense of the word. Spending the better part of the last twenty years thumbing his way around the country, busking on local street corners and spreading his unique brand of indie-folk all over the globe, Smith now resides in his hometown of Santa Barbara, California, where he is an integral part of a burgeoning local art scene.
Give a listen to the poetic and uplifting new single, “Bootlegger” from Smith. The artist possesses a unique and inviting vocal inflection, delivering with rhythmic charm, as he wraps the track in pleasing lyrical cleverness. Built on tasteful piano color and well-paced guitar touches, “Bootlegger” is a warm and welcoming tune, perfect for walking into the sunset, maybe with a spliff in hand and a good friend by your side.
“Bootlegger”. The story of love, a tropical island and the fermentation of the heart. Written while working for a distillery and chasing a love that seemed to remain just out of reach, it is a song of the processes of time and lengths we will go to achieve a moment of perfection despite oppressive conditions. “Bootlegger” is a song of perseverance and commitment in the face of adversity,” says Smith.
