About Scott Eastman

antibody-producing immune system cells found in bone marrow.
Myeloma is regarded as incurable, but remissions may be

WESTERN
HORSEMAN INTERVIEWS BRENN
Western Horseman’s Senior Editor Jennifer Denison
recently interviewed Brenn for the magazine’s November
2007 issue.
Read the complete interview here.
CHRIS LEDOUX'S BAND WESTERN UNDERGROUND
FEATURES BRENN'S "ONE HAND IN THE RIGGIN'" ON
DEBUT ALBUM
Brenn's song One Hand In The Riggin’ has been
featured as the second track on Western Underground's recently
released debut album UNBRIDLED. Here's what Western Underground
has to say about the song: "This is a great rodeo song
that was written by Brenn Hill and Bruce Bouton. Chris was
a big fan of Brenn, who is a cowboy singer from Utah. He's
an extraordinary guy and an excellent writer. The song tells
a story that's familiar to most cowboys. He's short on money,
short on sleep, and short on time, but he'll do whatever
it takes to make it to that next rodeo." Brenn is very
pleased to have Western Underground perform One Hand
In The Riggin', which was originally released on Brenn's
ENDANGERED CD.

Brenn will be

who grew up in Castle Dale, will emcee the event. Special

In announcing his involvement with the benefit concert,
Hill explained, “My heart goes out to the good people
of Carbon and Emery counties here in Utah. The Crandall
Canyon Mine tragedy has literally hit home. The people of
this area are faithful and value their tradition of hard
work and honesty. It takes a lot of determination and grit
to be a coal miner. In honor of the six who remain trapped
inside the mine and the three rescuers who lost their lives,
I have accepted a request to be a part of a benefit concert
that will be held this Saturday, August 25th, at Emery High
School in Castle Dale. You can find out more by calling
Neal Early, the benefit organizer, at (801) 814-0478. If

AMERICAN
COWBOY PRAISES WHAT A MAN’S GOT TO DO
Here's what
American Cowboy has to say about Brenn's latest CD
in the magazine’s September/October/07 issue:
Songwriter/singer/musician Brenn Hill has been among the
brightest names in Western music for the past several years,
and this latest effort looks to be his best ever. The opening
song, Meet Me In McCall, sets the tone – confident,
wide-ranging, strong on production values and considerably
more polished than the fare one gets from many Western independent
labels. Caffeine is a high-energy, bluesy tune devoted
to the subject of java and getting down the highway. Oakbrush
is one of the best songs on the album, a bluegrassy number
with compelling, amusing lyrics. What you have to like about
Brenn Hill is his honesty and his devotion to the West.
He is skilled as a lyricist as well as a composer, and it
is surprising that more of his songs are not being covered
by other artists, but that likely will change. -Jesse Mullins,
Jr.

BRENN LAUNCHES OFFICIAL MYSPACE WEBSITE!
After much anticipation, Brenn has joined the MySpace community!
At Brenn's
MySpace site, you can listen to four of Brenn's songs
in their entirety, including three songs from his latest
album, WHAT A MAN’S GOT TO DO. Also, you can choose
one of the four tracks on Brenn's MySpace page and add it
to your own personal MySpace page! Be sure to check back
to Brenn's MySpace site often for exclusive features and
updates at www.myspace.com/brennhill.
NEW MUSIC NOW AVAILABLE!
WHAT A MAN’S GOT TO DO, Brenn’s sixth CD,
is now available here. Like Brenn’s
previous albums, WHAT A MAN’S GOT TO DO contains songs
that speak boldly of life in the modern mountain west, songs
punctuated by crisp cinematic imagery and underscored by
confident melodies. But while the central themes present
in Hill’s other CDs are once again apparent in his
new material, WHAT A MAN’S GOT TO DO reveals a new
maturity in Brenn’s songwriting as he offers his deepest
exploration yet of the core values of the cowboy.
