[ATTENDED: October 9, 2026] BRÍET
BRÍET is an Icelandic singer. Her earlier singles were sung in Icelandic, but her newest album has songs in English. When I listened to her English language album, the songs were folk, borderline country. She told us that she made that album in Nashville, so that makes sense.
Indeed, the first song she sang, Until Then, was just her with an acoustic guitar. And wow, her voice was beautiful. Unlike the couple behind us. These two horrible individuals spoke at normal volume during the song about how great a singer she was. What he actual fuck? They were very complimentary which was nice, but holy shit, they didn’t even try to whisper. It was like the most pretentious bullshit spoken at pretentious volume. When he loudly said “she’s like a mermaid” I nudged my wife and said that we needed to move. So we did.
But not before Cowboy Killer. BRÍET won over the audience before this song by saying that she was in Nashville and walked into a bar where these older guys said (she did a good southern accent) “hey pretty lady.” Then she said he had a huge cowboy hat and then put her hands at her waist and said and the largest … …. she couldn’t think of the word so people helpfully shouted “belt buckle” and she said “no, penis.” Instantly won over everyone. (it was really a belt buckle).
And that’s how Cowboy Killer came about. (more…)
