For better or worse, Breagh Potter has always worn her heart on her sleeve, if not both. A self-proclaimed romantic, the sweet and soulful singer-songwriter soaks up the beauty in whatever she finds around her. And although she tells it like it is, raw and truthful, she manages to take the bleakest winter day in Halifax and turn it into playful and tender poetry. With thoughtful lyrics and a keen ear for melody Breagh delivers a folk-pop sound that holds hints of Billie Holiday and Paolo Nutini, finding the fine balance between charming acoustic simplicity and a contemporary twist on classic vocal stylings. She tells her stories of loss, love and growth with a voice so commanding, it can't be ignored. Growing up on Cape Breton Island, a community culturally infused with the arts, Breagh’s upbringing instilled in her a solid love and appreciation for music. She started early, lending her voice to school choirs which lead to dropping jaws at coffee house performances and soon a hobby had morphed into a career goal. In 2006, with golden ticket in hand, Breagh headed to Toronto with scads of other hopefuls itching to be the next Canadian Idol. While she won't credit the show for helping to shape her sound...the experience opened her eyes to the importance of embracing originality and stepping outside the expected. And so began her adventures in songwriting. After years of performing throughout Halifax & Cape Breton Breagh has found her sound and her place on the stage. Now performing with a four piece band, she and the group have created a energetic folk-pop sound with a soulful twist. Known for her honest lyrics and quirky deliveries, Breagh's refreshing performance will be sure to leave you with a smile. Over the past year Breagh Potter has completed two Maritime tours, released her debut EP "Hey There July", showcased at the 2011 ECMA's on both the Discovery & Selkirk stage, performed at the 2011 Harmony Bazaar Festival, and just recently finished her second cross Canada tour playing with Cape Breton's Tom Fun Orchestra. After a busy summer of touring Breagh will be hitting the road again this fall to take her sound to new ears and new places. Another musical adventure she hopes to share with you, so do stay tuned.
