Nothing Like It

Courtney Farren is a singer/songwriter born and raised in the San Fransisco Bay Area. Throughout her childhood she moved 12 times, granted they were all within a few hours of each other in northern California, but as a result of this she didn’t have a very typical childhood. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that in 2017 alone she has picked up and moved 3 times and lived in 4 very different cities - San Francisco, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, and, now, New York. With New York as her current home base, she has found herself regularly playing shows, making videos, and finding her place among the music scene. Upon moving to New York, she teamed up with a good friend of hers who was able to quickly help organize/book shows and make her videos to support her pursuit of a career as an artist. Courtney is very emotionally driven and heartfelt in her songwriting and performances, which lend themselves to her current live set up of guitar and vocals. Though she is often very casual in the way she introduces her songs, when she sings, her words are fueled by honesty and a sense of urgency. Everywhere Courtney goes she can be found carrying around a journal (or two or three), and is always writing. She often contributes this to her detailed accounts of her life and relationships in her songs. Her life consists almost entirely of music and writing, but she often manages to find time to watch cartoons and play the occasional video game with her brother online.
