BRENNLEY Brown (18) became a Huntington Beach (CA) hero overnight after what started with just her and an acoustic guitar serenading a few of her neighbors from atop the balcony of her family’s home.
As the weeks passed by during month’s of quarantining, neighbors would look forward to her concert series every week on Friday nights. She didn’t intend for it to become an actual concert series, but throughout the week she received flowers and letters from her community in her mailbox with song requests and gratitude.
Friends and soon to be friends would gather on their lawns waiting hours before her performance to ensure they had a great seat, according to her press release. On May 29th, 2020 Luke Wooten (Grammy Award Winning Producer) flew to Huntington Beach to record Brennley Brown’s live performance. A parade of fire trucks came down Alabama Street during the middle of Brown’s set and were greeted by the cheering people.
Luke Wooten praised Brennley’s gift for delivering heart, soul, and emotion through her vocal performances.
“I am extremely grateful to God for the gift of music and how powerful it is. This has allowed us to do something normal in a time that is very not normal,” Brennley told her audience.
She has been leading worship on Sundays the past few months at Greg Laurie’s Harvest Church through their online ministry. Laurie and his wife drove to Huntington Beach to support Brown during her Balcony Sessions.
