Blackcat Productions Presents Brendan Maclean

A sell-out hit at Mardi Gras 2012, Brendan Maclean just keeps getting better.

An independent songwriter, Brendan brings with him the energy and spirit of a new generation of artists. Encapsulating the stories of folk with the command and fireworks of pop, Brendan’s flamboyant yet authentic live performance has been compared to Rufus Wainwright, Patrick Wolf and Panic at The Disco, and he’s performed with Savage Garden, Lanie Lane, Claire Bowditch and Kate Miller-Heidke, on stage or in the studio.

“Had the audience spellbound. Truly magical music.” Celline Narinli, Drum Media.

Brendan has spent years honing his unique sound: powerful vocals, impressive piano skills and a hint of ukulele for good luck. Brendan latest single, OnlyOnly, was immediately play-listed by FBI Radio, Sydney’s leading indie radio station, Joy FM Melbourne and 4ZZZ Brisbane, leading to Maclean’s heaviest national radio play to date. Brendan won the National Youth Week Songwriters award for a second time in 2012.

Brendan will be celebrating the release of his first record since 2010, backed by his acclaimed band-mates, debuting new material for Mardi Gras.
