In August, Brian Keenan (of cosmic Americana outfit Proud Simon) releases his debut solo album Today This Year.

Brian Keenan writes songs that connect the two places he’s known best, his upbringing in upstate NY, and his current residence in Brooklyn. The high lonesome country sound grounds the sonic landscape, while the live-fast die-young energy pushes the tempos and sparkles on the surface. The words are personal accounts balanced between the mournful and triumphant, simple in delivery but rife with elaborate depiction of Keenan’s experiences.
