The folks in the Band
Conor & The Wild Hunt is an original Baltimore-based indie-folk / chamber-pop band with post-rock influences. They animate soulful original songs that span a wide dynamic range, from contemplative cinematic ballads to anthemic explosive peaks, with story-weaving lyrics, artful and driving instrumentation, passionate duets, blooming three-part harmonies, and a compelling stage presence. The band consists of Kierán Brendan, Gabe Casey, Thillman Benham, and a rotating cast of drummers.
Kieran Brendan, 31, is a trans/non-binary multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter, composer/arranger, music producer, and filmmaker/actor based in Baltimore, MD. They’re the frontperson and artistic director of the indie-folk/chamber-pop band Conor & the Wild Hunt. They also produce and mix for various artists and compose music for film and TV.
In 2020, Kierán won first prize for two songs in the Mid Atlantic Song Contest; 'Ghosts' (Adult Contemporary) and 'You're Not Alone' (Americana). They’ve signed a music licensing deal with InStyle Music to license original songs in Films, TV, and commercials.
