Brenda Smith-BrenLou

I currently sing & play guitar with my family, The Corder Bluegrass Band. You can find us performing at the Iowa State Fair, Downtown Farmers Market, Bluegrass Fests in Iowa & Missouri as well as numerous small town events. I have a musical heritage/background. My mom had her own radio show back in the 40's over KIRX, Kirksville Mo. She was part of a duo called the "Harmony Pals." She's my hero and I've followed our family tradition by performing every chance I get! I wrote "Change of Heart" & co-wrote " I Always Will Know" with Rob Lumbard, a simply sensational musician from Des Moines. I host a bluegrass jam in Johnston, Iowa during the fall months. I'd like to say thanks to all the Country Music Musicians & Bluegrass Musicians that have inspired me along the way. On a recent trip to Nashville, I had a dream come true by singing at Legends Corner! I dedicate my song, Change of Heart, to my biggest fans of all that love to hear Nannie's CD playing in their car, my three grand-daughters, Jessica,Laura and Leah. My three little musical angels!! I'm also proud to say I've just become an official member of NSAI! Read an interesting article about this new venture here: http://stateoftheozarks.net/Cultural/Music/Brenda_Songwriter .html
