Local singer and songwriter K.B. Bren is proud to announce the release of his third CD “Color Me Gone.” The 13 songs on the album were recorded and mastered at Studio S in Sedona with the help of Stuart Hardy.

Bren will be playing at Vino di Sedona, 2575 W. SR 89A, in West Sedona, on Tuesday, June 11, from 6 to 9 p.m. CDs will be available at the gig.

Bren was one of the founding members of the bands Grateful Fred and Cold December Bren’s current band Life is Beautiful plays throughout the Sedona area.

“I was a late start in playing music even though I had always had a Ludwig 1968 set of red drums that I never learned to play,” Bren stated on his website. “I eventually traded them for a Jasmine 6 string acoustic guitar that I still play. I made my musical debut in 1979 or 1980 at the Summer Solstice Festival on China Hot Springs Road in Fairbanks Alaska. I was the oldest guy in the band and I had forgotten my shoes.”

“I have since recorded nearly 1000 original songs,” Bren wrote. “I work with several different composers around the world and I am always looking for more to write with. I enjoy writing lyrics about whatever is on the minds of those gifting me with these words.”
