Summer Concert Series ♪ Brody Bond

Brody Bond

Folk

Brody Bond, a performing songwriter from Baltimore, MD, hopes his songs can be a type of emotional resource for people. With a voice that’s confident though fragile, melodies that take surprising turns, and lyrics that are as smart as they are emotionally vulnerable, Brody’s songs will delight especially the critical listener, and especially anyone who has grown from heartbreaking circumstances.

His performances are light-hearted, but the songs are serious, poetic, and curious. Audiences leave having been invited to a greater curiosity and hope.
