IAN BRENNAN: Home

"Music and other forms of art are by far the most effective kind of social-work that exists. A single nameless one-hit wonder brings more comfort to the world than almost any single psychologist can hope to in a lifetime." --Ian Brennan

Ian Brennan has produced two GRAMMY-nominated records (Ramblin’Jack Elliott [2006], Peter Case [2007]). In 2009 he produced, Rain Machine, the solo debut of Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio) which was named "one of the 30 best records of the year so far" by SPIN magazine. In the studio, he has worked with the likes of Flea, Lucinda Williams, David Hidalgo (Los Lobos), Nels Cline (Wilco), DJ Bonebrake and John Doe (X, the Knitters), Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney), Bill Frisell, Jonathan Richman, Richard Thompson, and more.

As a live-promoter he has presented artists as diverse as Green Day, Fugazi, Merle Haggard, film-maker John Waters, Kris Kristofferson, Tammy Faye, the Blind Boys of Alabama, Peaches, and the Vienna Boys Choir. These and related activities have raised over $100,000 for local charities and political causes.
