Bronwen Roberts Music

I offer a blend of Brazilian bossa nova and French pop. Sometimes I mix in original material in the same vein, but can tailor my set list to your preferences. Upon request, I can also provide a custom playlist during breaks to keep the vibe consistent.

Sound + Style:
• Brazilian bossa nova and MPB - Tom Jobim, João Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto, Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque
• French chanson - Serge Gainsbourg, Françoise Hardy, Georges Brassens, Brigitte Bardot
• Original acoustic folk

Ideal for:
• Tasting rooms, restaurants, cocktail lounges
• Spring and summer patio season
• Private events, wedding cocktail hours
• Small to mid-size spaces

I am a Portland-based songwriter, performer, and recording artist bringing vintage bossa nova and French pop to life for the modern ear. Not only do I sing in multiple languages, but I am fluent in Portuguese, French, and Spanish, having lived and studied in Brazil and France.

Since returning to the U.S., I keep the nostalgia of these places alive by continuing to expand my catalogue of both classic Brazilian and French music. I have built relationships with wineries, booking coordinators, and private clients across the U.S. who share my enthusiasm for these beautiful, timeless genres.

Beyond the vintage repertoire, I also write and record original music in much the same spirit and front the psych-folk band ReveleveR. My two, solo LP albums, Breathless (2025) and False Start (2017), offer contemplative takes on love, longing, mystery, and dreams, against the backdrop of Latin-inspired rhythms and intricate fingerpicking.

With a degree in Art History from Yale University, I am also keenly attuned to visual aesthetics as part of the art of performance and take pride in complementing the music with classy, whimsical, and vintage-inspired fashion.

I provide all necessary sound equipment for small to mid-size spaces, including one or both of the following PA/amps:

• PA (Bose L1 Compact)
• AER Acoustic Compact Amp

For larger rooms, I can plug into the house sound system. Note: For more complicated sound setups, I would ask that you hire a separate sound technician, as both performing and running sound simultaneously as a solo act becomes unfeasible.
