Has anyone else been sitting around, as the recent nice weather has been upon us in Vancouver, missing those summer road trips blasting music the whole drive? This summer, one Vancouver-based musician has us covered, and we may just have a few more songs to add to our road trip playlists.
Pennan Brae, a Vancouver-based screenwriter, and singer-songwriter, just released his lyrical video for his song “El Camino”, one of three lead singles of his latest album Lit. The 10-song album is heavily influenced by 1970s and 80s rock and roll. The rhythmic guitar, indie-rock vibe, and clever lyrics will make “El Camino” a summer hit.
Hop in #ElCamino! New #MusicVideo for Track #2 off the ‘Lit’🔥album by @hipvideoprod director 🎬 Rob Fitzgerald. The visual for the @chevrolet classic takes you up the California Coast with a dirt bike in the cab. Full MV plays ⤵️:

Lead singles off the album include ‘Passing Fad’, ‘El Camino’, and ‘Tearing My Heart In 2’. “Recorded at Blue Light Studio in Vancouver, Canada with producer Kaj Falch-Nielsen, the album follows Pennan’s successful ‘2 Below 0’ album in 2020 which received airplay on 125 College and AAA Radio Stations in North America.” (Pennanbrae.com/bio/)
Not only has Pennan been busy writing and producing music, from 2018-20 he released 2 feature films and soundtracks for, The Astronot and 2 Below 0. Both of these films were a part of over 100 film festivals with The Astronot now streaming on Amazon Prime. Pennan has worked with filmmaker Tim Cash on a number of lyrical videos for his YouTube page while Cash also directed his feature film The Astronot.

Lit, Pennans 8th studio album, looks to keep the good times rolling in 2021. Brae has won multiple awards over the years for his films and music. After being able to work with legendary drummer Steve Ferrone (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Eric Clapton, Duran Duran) and bassist Garry Gary Beers (INXS), to then having his album mastered at Abbey Road Studios by Grammy-winner Sean Magee, Brae is setting his sights high in 2021.
Make sure the next time you hit the road you turn on “El Camino”, using all streaming platforms, to be carried away into a nostalgic world of the 70s and 80s rock and roll.
