about
Michael Brunnock possesses an extraordinary voice, and his songs mine the profound. So it’s not surprising that David Byrne cast him to sing the role of an Irish musician on the brink of success whose voice guides Sean Penn through an emotional journey of self-discovery in This Must Be the Place (2012). The score by Byrne with lyrics by Will Oldham (Bonnie Prince Billy) called for a distinctive vocalist, which Brunnock is. Brunnock got to sing six songs on the soundtrack. Brunnock won for Best Original Song at this years David di Donatello (Italian Oscars), with the song If It Falls, it Falls. This Must Be the Place is currently on release in the US November 2012.
Michael was born in Ireland and moved to New York in 2000
Brunnock’s sense of himself and his roots is deeply evident on his own recent release The Orchard (2012), mixed by triple Grammy winner, Patrick Dillett. . It is a collection of gorgeously crafted songs that embrace a breadth of vision. Featuring guest performances from Glen Hansard (Swell Season), Julia Stone, Ari Hest and Joe Sumner, the album is Brunnock’s third since Live in New York (2009) and So I Do (2007).
"Michael Brunnock's voice simply soars. His performances and song writing absolutely wowed our audiences in Boston. I am keenly awaiting more from this intriguing artist."
- Brian O'Donovan, 89.7 WGBH, Boston's NPR Station
“…with a masterful skill, Brunnock takes the idea of a singer/songwriter to another level”
