ABOUT THE ARTIST
Brenn Hill
Hooper, UT
Brenn Hill is a singer-songwriter who doesn't just sing about the West, he reveals his heart to anyone who will take the time to listen. He is not only an observer or narrator of Western lore, but one of it's strongest interpreters. The cowboy's trials ad tribulations are his raw material. Brenn's career spans 12 recordings of mostly self-penned music and more than two decades on the road. His most recent release is "How You Heal." Like all of his prior recordings, it serves as a pathway through his own personal journey. Brenn is an artist who gives great insight into the West that he calls Heaven. He lives with his wife and three children in Hooper, Utah.
Filmed in front of a live audience at the the Elko Convention Center's Laurena Moren Theater on Friday, January 31, 2025.
Made possible by John G Searle Family Trust and by the multitude of staff, artists, volunteers, and community members working behind the scenes to make the show happen.
