Logan Brill

Logan Brill is an American country singer-songwriter from Knoxville, Tennessee. Her music sits at the meeting point of country, roots, blues and Americana, and she is also associated with indie and alt-country. She writes for Carnival Music.

Early life and education

Born in Knoxville, Brill grows up around a wide range of music, with artists including Jackson Browne, the Grateful Dead, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Patty Griffin among the records she hears at home. Her family are not professional musicians, but music is a regular part of family life and they often hold after-dinner jam sessions. As a teenager she also plays in her brothers’ jazz band.

At 18, she moves to Nashville to study at Belmont University. Alongside music, she completes a degree in French and a minor in vocal performance.

Recording career

Brill signs with Carnival Music in early 2012 after being introduced to people there by a friend. Her debut album, Walking Wires, is released on Carnival Recording Company in 2013. The album contains ten tracks and is produced by Oran Thorton and Matthew Miller.

Her songs Scars and Rewind, both from Walking Wires, appear on the VH1 reality series Couples Therapy. She also records and releases the single Wailing Wall in partnership with the Montachusett Veterans’ Outreach Center, with proceeds supporting women veterans’ issues.

Brill’s second album, Shuteye, follows in 2015.

Live work and touring

Brill appears on bills in cities including Nashville, Chicago and Washington, DC. She performs acoustic opening sets for artists such as Steve Earle, Josh Turner, Jerry Douglas, Leon Russell, Ashley Monroe, Gary Allan and Todd Snider. With her band, she also plays at events including Virginia Beach’s Patriotic Festival with The Band Perry and Cincinnati’s first Buckle Up Festival with Alison Krauss, Willie Nelson and David Nail.

Her festival and touring appearances also include MerleFest, Stagecoach, a Grand Ole Opry debut, and shows with Merle Haggard and Dwight Yoakam.
