"OK, picture this: Lou Reed and Astrud Gilberto have a baby. She’s raised by the band Mazzy Star until the age of 16, when she falls in love with James Bond and runs away to Argentina. Got it?" - Performing Songwriter
"On her début album, ‘Elevator Ride,’ Bronwen Exter’s voice is like a warm mist capable of obscuring all of life’s problems." - The New Yorker
The youngest granddaughter of a Ukrainian communist, a Disneyland-tire maker, an Yves St. Laurent wedding dress model and the Chief Statistician for President Lyndon Johnson, Bronwen Exter sings her own songs, the songs of Jonathan Spottiswoode and, most recently, songwriting collaborations with Boots Ottestad and Nate Campany.
Début record "Elevator Ride," co-produced by Kenny Siegal (Johnny Society) and Jonathan Spottiswoode (Spottiswoode and His Enemies), is available HERE. (For instant gratification of the 21st century variety, it is also available from I-tunes, etc.) She is currently hard at work on new recordings with Boots and The Sad Little Stars.

“Exter possesses a breathy, ethereal singing voice that is reminiscent of Rickie Lee Jones and the Cowboy Junkies Margo Timmins. Elevator Ride is full of enchanting tales of scorned women, the Deep South, and intoxicating tropical nights, with Exter’s voice creating alternating senses of narcotic tranquility and tragic nightmare ... Basically, if you don't like this album, then there's something wrong with you.†- BreakThru Radio
“One whisper of that smoky, husky voice can seduce the pants off of any bystander.†- The Deli Magazine
