Bio
Colleen Brown & Major Love —Cinematic folk-pop
Colleen Brown is a multi-instrumental artist on a mission - looking for beauty in the darker corners of human existence. With versatile songwriting and a vulnerable authenticity, she weaves elements of folk, roots, Americana, and pop into a sublime, striking blend. Such is evident on her self-produced 2022 full length album “Winging It”, and her most recent release with her indie-rock band collaboration Major Love, titled “Live, Laugh, Major Love” (2024).
‘One of Canada's premiere songwriters. With a voice like a clarion call she's one of our premiere singers, too.’
-Judith Lynch, CBC’s First Play
Ten albums deep over a two decade career, Brown has topped Canadian college radio charts, achieved regular rotation on CBC, and toured across Canada, Germany, and the U.K. Her song “I Can’t Wrap My Heart Around It,” recorded with Major Love, earned a placement in the CBC-TV program Burden Of Truth. Major Love also performed a CBC Music First Play Live and had two singles in the CBC Radio 2 Top 20, “Tear It Down” and “So Good.” Their eponymous debut album spent 13 weeks on the Canadian College Radio Top 50 charts, and their 2024 follow-up was named one of the “Most Anticipated Albums of 2024” by exclaim magazine.
Brown has opened for household names like Randy Newman, Don McLean, Jim Cuddy, Rufus Wainwright, Frank Black, Whitehorse, Kathleen Edwards - and is a fixture on the Canadian folk festival circuit as a solo artist, with Major Love, and as a touring member of Great Lake Swimmers.
"The talents of this Edmonton-based vocalist shine like a beacon. Her boldly written originals...have the good bones and great melodic rhythm of classic big-screen pop songs"
-Robert Everett-Green, The Globe & Mail
