AWD with Brianna Kočka 3/29/19

Such a treat to *finally* feature one of my very favorite Minneapolis musicians (as well as an all-around strong/inspiring/awesome woman), Brianna Kočka, on All-Wheel Drive. Her voice just slays me! Plus she’s a heck of a lotta fun to hang out and chat with.

On this lovely, sunshiney Friday afternoon we talked about her journey to making music, the inspiration behind the songs she writes, and her very cool traveling companion and Instagram icon, Van Wilder. Oh, and she and I both graduated from Chaska High School – go, Hawks!

We kicked off the session with a recording of “Kindness,” her fantastic just-released single and accompanying music video (which she’s celebrating with a not-to-be-missed performance with her full band, along with BBGun and Under Violet, on April 3 at Icehouse Mpls), followed by a live performance of three other gorgeous tunes:

Wild Child (from 2018’s “Dreamlife”)
Under The Glass Tide (from “Dreamlife”)
Get Home To You (a brand new single coming out next week!)

I really hope Brianna comes back to Northfield soon – she’s amazing! Be sure to check out her tour dates on her website as well. And buy her music, dangit!
