A native of Baytown, Texas, Breelan Angel landed on the country music scene in true Lone Star fashion; she released her debut single, “It’s My Turn” on her own independent label, MisBhavin’ Records, and celebrated as it reached #65 on the MusicRow Country Breakout Chart. The spirited anthem sealed Breelan’s spot as “One To Watch” (CMA Close-up) and, hot on the heels of a successful debut, Breelan wasted no time in getting her sophomore effort, “Halfway To Wasted,” out to fans and radio.
An emotionally charged single that had critics and listeners singing its praises (Robert K. Oermann of MusicRow recognized it with a “Discovery Award” honor), "Halfway To Wasted" climbed into the Top 40 on MusicRow, entered the Texas Regional Radio Report (where she garnered a nomination as Best New Female Artist), and impacted Billboard’s Indicator chart as a Top 50. Gearing up to promote the release her of newest single, “Double Standards,” as well as her much anticipated debut album, Dirty Little Secrets (June 24, 2014), Breelan is busier than ever!
Armed with Texas-gal determination and a “steel magnolia” personality, Breelan has carved a niche and discovered her true style for both songwriting and performing. Teaming up with hit songwriters in Nashville to build up her catalog she has collaborated with A-list luminaries such as Clay Mills (“Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It,” “Fall”), Rachel Thibodeau (“Good Directions,” “Love Don’t Run”), Shane Stevens (“American Honey”), Bernie Nelson (“Daddy Never Was the Cadillac Kind”), Marty Dodson (“Must Be Doin’ Something Right”), Larry Weiss (“Rhinestone Cowboy”), Greg Barnhill (“Walkaway Joe”) and many others.
Breelan also went into the studio with Emmy-award winner Ray Barnette (Billy Dean) to record songs for a debut album that showcases her range and talent, both lyrically and vocally. Breelan leaves no experience untouched as her take on love and life provides a fresh sound in a scene where good girls are showing off their independence, living unrehearsed and unplanned. Staying true to her style, the new single, “Double Standards,” continues this theme with an uptempo beat and a tongue-in-cheek delivery that tackles the double standards women must live up to in love, life and business in today’s society.
As a performer, Breelan has played some of the finest venues including Houston’s House of Blues, Firehouse Saloon, Hard Rock Café, and Mucky Duck. She has also played Stafford Centre (Stafford), Rowdy Buck’s (Crosby), Freiheit Country Store (New Braunfels), The Chute (Baytown), Wormy Dog (Oklahoma City), Island View Casino (Gulfport, Miss.), and The National Underground (Nashville). Special events include Crosby Fair & Rodeo, Lone Star Rally, Galveston County Fair, Whiskey & Wine, Girls With Guitars and Pinktober with KILT and Farmer’s Branch Liberty Fest. A recent performance at her favorite hometown event, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo World's Championship BBQ Cook-off, kicked her 2014 schedule into high gear.
Quickly becoming a regular on the tour circuit, her tour schedule has included shows with some of today’s hottest acts including Joe Nichols, Easton Corbin, Chris Cagle, Kevin Fowler, Randy Rogers, Cody Johnson, and legendary artists Loretta Lynn, Don Williams, Travis Tritt and Doug Stone.
Breelan Angel is making big moves bringing an exciting blend of country rock to life. Showing off originality in both music and performing, she blends just the amount of southern charm and modern country rock and her spirited attitude are front and center when she and her band take the stage.
