I am a singer/songwriter and musician. I’ve been writing and performing for 30+ years.

I fell in love with music when I heard the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. When I was 16 I sang and played guitar in my first cover band (Grand Funk Railroad!). In the following years I was in and out of various original and cover bands and played bars and clubs in NJ/NY. I was also writing and playing solo. 

In the '80s I had my first home studio with a Tascam Teac 244 Portastudio. I wrote songs, sang, played guitar, bass, keyboards and programmed drums. In 2000 I bought a 8 track Roland VS880 Digital Studio Workstation and in 2020 I started recording with Adobe Audition. I have written 300+ songs, some of which are under contract with industry publishers and I have several independently released albums available on various internet sites. 

I am a graduate of The Institute of Audio Research and a previous member of the Songwriters Guild and ASCAP. I hosted the 1978 Arts Center Arts Café in Maplewood NJ. From 2001-2005 I played in a blues rock band that performed in NJ and from 2016-2020 I played 350 solo acoustic shows at restaurants, bars and private events in NJ/NY. I am currently writing and recording new material in my home studio.

Some of my influences include The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Eric Clapton, Doors, Animals, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Muddy Waters, Paul Simon, John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Dire Straits, Elvis Costello, John Mellencamp, Neil Young, Jeff Beck, Pink Floyd and David Bowie. In addition, some of my favorite guitarists are Mike Bloomfield, Mick Ronson, Robin Trower, Mick Ralphs and Kim Simmonds.

Brittany Ann Tranbaugh (pronounced TRAN-baw) is a Philadelphia-based songwriter whose queer Americana heartbreaker “Kiss You” won Song of the Year in the 2021 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Tranbaugh has been writing songs and playing shows since she was a teenager, but in February 2023, at 31 years old, she finally quit her office job to pursue a full-time career in music. On March 24th 2023, Tranbaugh released the exuberant long-distance-relationship anthem “Can’t Wait No Rush,” produced by Grammy-winner Tyler Chester. Listeners can expect three more singles this summer and a full EP in the fall. The new songs showcase Tranbaugh in her new era: energetic, self-assured, surrounded by her beloved musical community, and more commanding as a vocalist and writer than ever before.
