Brittany Ann Tranbaugh (pronounced TRAN-baw) is a Philadelphia-based songwriter whose queer Americana heartbreaker “Kiss You” won Song of the Year in the 2021 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Tranbaugh has been writing songs and playing shows as a side gig since she was a teenager, but in February 2023, at the age of 31, she finally quit her office job to pursue a full-time music career. She has since played over 300 shows, received a standing ovation at the XPoNential Music Festival, won first place in the Songwriter Serenade contest in Texas, and toured extensively supporting Carsie Blanton. Her next big plan is to record a full-length album (made possible by 400+ fans who backed her $25k album crowdfunding campaign) in the fall, which listeners can expect in late 2026.

with our guest, REMI GOODE (DUO)

Remi Goode is a trained classical guitarist and choral singer turned alternative folk singer-songwriter. In a continual search for the truth, her lyrics are filled with paradoxes, puzzles, and multiple perspectives, with Remi attempting to rid herself of black-and-white thinking and, instead, embrace the grey areas in her life. Things I've Said Before, the debut album from Remi Goode due September 26, is an introduction to the indie-folk artist who straddles the borders between different worlds. A nylon-string guitarist nodding to the classical training and contemporary influences of her past while pushing toward a wider sound, she creates her version of modern-day American roots music: one that's intimate one minute and cinematic the next, making room for folky bedroom recordings, full-band studio performances, and all points in between.
