“ With her transportive vocals and lush instrumentation, Pieta Brown provides a mesmerizing soundtrack to our lives on Dreamin’ Of.” - Folk Alley
New York, NY – Gifted songwriter, singer, and producer Pieta Brown releases her new album, Dreamin’ Of, today via Righteous Babe Records. Co-produced by Pieta with S. Carey and Mike Lewis (both definitive forces in Bon Iver), the album's ten original tracks form a mesmerizing, cinematic song cycle, tackling themes of nature, love, loss, war, and addiction. The album features a duet with Amos Lee on the track “Drinkin’ Side" and boasts a formidable lineup of musicians lending their distinct sonic signatures, including Jeremy Ylvisaker, Bertrand Belin, Bo Ramsey, Barbara Jean Meyers, Bryan Vanderpool, and Romain Collin.
The album arrives on the heels of a commanding summer roll-out, which included the captivating singles “Dreamin’ Of,” “Was The One,” and “Love Letters,” followed by the gritty, pop-tinged album closer, “Glitter Town.”
Like dreams, the songs twist and turn and surprise; from the wondrously intimate frontiers of “Nothin’ But Trouble” and “Someday Someday” to the enigmatic harmony-drenched “Laura” and “Was The One,” in which Pieta artfully plays with time, distance, and mood. From the majestic poetry of “Love Letters” and “So This May I” to the pop-tinged pent-up anthemic glimmers of the album’s luminous closer “Glitter Town.”
A spellbinding ode to the heartache of the times and a true album standout is Pieta’s “Drinkin’ Side” duet with Amos Lee. “Something freeing happens when we sing together,” she says.
Ahead of its release, Dreamin’ Of has received early praise, including features in Twangville and Talkhouse.
And the press raves!
“The album throughout has an indie, almost ’90s vibe, with sparse instrumentation and poetic lyrics of nature, love, loss, war, and addiction. It feels considered and crafted as a whole piece but natural and not stilted, and the impression is that the songs flowed from her.” – Americana UK
“ Pieta Brown’s riveting new album, ‘Dreamin’ Of,’ evokes the wonder and the beauty—and sometimes the ugliness—embedded in our dreams.” - Folk Alley
“One of the year’s most thoughtfully crafted singer-songwriter releases.” – That Eric Alper

Hailed as a “self-styled poetess, folk goddess, and country waif” by the BBC, Pieta Brown first came to international prominence with the release of her self-titled debut in 2002. Since then she has relentlessly expanded her artistic prowess, releasing multiple albums, EPs, and singles earning widespread acclaim from The New York Times, NPR Music, Stereogum, Billboard, Bust and beyond - garnering meaningful attention from artists and mentors along the way; including such luminaries as John Prine, Mavis Staples, Ani DiFranco, Don Was, Iris DeMent, and Bon Iver mastermind Justin Vernon, who once called Pieta’s album Paradise Outlaw his “favorite album recorded at our studio.” Continually revealing new layers as a songwriter, singer, musician, producer, visual artist and performer, Brown is being recognized as a true multi-hyphenate and one of modern music's true gems.
Pieta Brown will be playing select dates in September and throughout 2026, including AmericanaFest.
