ARTIST  SPOTLIGHT

Nick  Brennan  Sponsored  by:  Stanley  Music  Group  !Current  Single:  “Buck  Naked”  !Hometown:Jacksonville,  FL    !Website:    www.nickbrennanmusic.com  !Facebook:  www.facebook.com/nickbrennanmusic  !!

Artist  Bio:  From  the  time  he  was  a  kid,  Nick  has  loved  all  kinds  of  music.  He  especially  loved  singers  with  a  deep  bass  voice.  He  comes  from  a  musical  family,  including  his  mom,  Inspirational  Country  singer/songwriter  Cherie  Brennan.  When  she  heard  him  singing  covers  of  artist  like  Trace  Adkins  and  Josh  Turner,  she  asked  him  if  he  ever  thought  of  pursuing  it  as  a  career.  He  had  just  graduated  from  the  University  of  Missouri  with  a  degree  in  journalism  and  hadn’t  found  a  job  yet,  so  he  agreed  to  sing  a  song  his  mom  had  just  written  called,  “Buck  Naked.”  No  sooner  had  they  stared  to  work  on  it  when  Nick  received  a  job  offer  at  a  television  station  in  Marquette,  MI.  He  took  a  two-­‐year  assignment  there  and  just  +inished  this  year.  Coming  back  home  to  Jacksonville,  FL,  he  decided  to  take  a  break  from  the  news  and  concentrate  on  country  music.  “Buck  Naked”  is  Nick’s  debut  single  and  shows  off  a  rich  country  voice.  You’re  going  to  love  this  fun  country  song,  and  Nick  Brennan.
