Wendilyn Marielle Caitlin Brennan (born February 14, 1969), better known by her stage name Cait Brennan, is an American singer-songwriter, pianist, guitarist and screenwriter. Brennan's musical style contains elements of piano-driven rock, alternative country, glam rock, Indie pop and power pop. Her music and film work has been praised and earned her a cult following. Her debut album, Debutante, was released January 22, 2016 to favorable reviews.
Brennan was born in Phoenix, Arizona, the daughter of Linda Parker and musician Ron Dobbins. Brennan was raised by her great-grandmother, a Thoroughbred horse racing seamstress, and grew up traveling across America, an experience she credits for her eclectic musical influences. She began a gender transition in her teens.
Brennan's soulful, androgynous countertenor voice has been compared to Harry Nilsson, David Bowie, Etta James, John Lennon and Iris DeMent. While her lead vocals generally hover in the mid-tenor, Brennan has a five-octave range and sings all the background harmonies on her albums. Matt Keeley of Unicorn Booty dubbed her "Lady Nilsson" for her frequent homages to the late singer-songwriter. Brennan's music combines melodic indie, soul, power pop and 1970s Glam Rock sensibilities with dense vocal harmonies and lyrics that occasionally draw on Vaudeville, Geek culture and Music hall themes.
