ENTERPRISE — Home from Nashville for the holidays, Meredith Lane Brann showcases some of her newest songs, slated for her upcoming album, on Saturday, Nov. 26, on the OK Theatre.

Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $15 and available at www.eventbrite.com.

Based in Moscow since 2019, Brann graced the theater’s various performance spaces last summer. Then, with a tour underway, the budding artist moved to Nashville and landed a job in the industry.

“My songwriting job is a nice little thing I can do touring, or in Nashville, because I can work remotely,” Brann said.

She said she is also working on an album and is playing around with the title, “Mother, it’s all right.”

“I’ll share some of the new songs at the Nov. 26 show to give an idea of what the next album will sound like, but not all,” Brann said. “I want to keep some of it a surprise.”

Brann will be playing with a full band featuring her father, Darrell, on guitar, Dan Galucki on drums and Joe Marsh on bass.

“And there will be lots of guests,” Brann said.

Gifted with a beautiful voice and interest in the violin as a preschool aged child, Brann was performing live by the time she was eight. Her family bought the OK Theatre at the end of 2012, and she spent her teen years singing on the main stage as a headliner and as an opening act.

As she matured, so did her voice and her stage presence — she is comfortable on stage and confessed that being in front of live audiences again this summer galvanized her decision to continue her journey toward becoming a professional singer, songwriter and musician.

As a college student in Moscow, her plan for a part-time job was to perform in coffee houses and bars, but within that first year of school COVID-19 restrictions shuttered music venues and live performance opportunities disappeared.

The songs on the new album, she said, were greatly influenced by the pandemic and the accompanying depression.

“I wrote about struggles and disconnection, but also that everything is going to be OK,” Brann said. “It is definitely not going to be the happiest album.”

For one who cut her teeth, so to speak, on classics like “Hit the Road, Jack,” Patsy Cline tunes, and Alison Kraus’ “Oh Atlanta,” she said her own music is influenced by ‘90s rock and artists like Sheryl Crow and Amy Winehouse. She writes songs about home and attachment to place as well as the feelings and longings of a young woman making her way in the world of music.

“On this album I tried to have songs of my older style transition into what I want to do — more of a ‘90s alternative sound,” Brann said. “I want to create music by learning from those influences without copying their style and I am enjoying the way these songs go live and bring a fun energy.”

Brann said all of the new album’s songs are written and when she returns to Nashville, it will get tracked by fellow Wallowa County native Zion Mark who runs Goshen Studio.

“They are recording some incredible artists over there. I am excited to see where it goes,” she said.

Brann said she lives in east Nashville in a community teeming with talent and live music venues.

“It is amazing to be around like-minded people with similar goals who are hard working and supportive of each other,” she said.
