Meet… Brynn Stanley

Written By Mike Greenblatt
Brynn Stanley

This Jersey Girl singer/songwriter/actress graduated Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison before honing her vocal chops on both coasts to crowds who quickly fell under her sway. Her Classic EP says it all. It’s in the way she wraps her voice around lyrics that are, indeed, classic, imbedded in our souls like DNA. Think Ella Fitzgerald or Peggy Lee with just a touch of modernity like Norah Jones and Diana Krall. When she sings, she is in service to the song. And that’s how it should be.

She portrayed Sheila in Hair. Her 2015 Hello California epitomized her move west where she added such influences as Sara Bareilles and Michael Buble. Second album Classic Christmas is in that same mode on more tried’n’true material. She’s back in Jersey these days gigging in the tri-state area with her trio.
