Michele Brourman
Songwriter/singer Michele Brourman has enjoyed a wide-ranging career in music. Her song “My Favorite Year”, co-written with Karen Gottlieb, has become a cabaret standard, recorded by luminaries Margaret Whiting, Michael Feinstein, and Dame Cleo Laine. Her music for the theatre includes “Dangerous Beauty” with longtime collaborator Amanda McBroom, “The Belle of Tombstone” with Sheilah Rae, and the 2019 Ovation Award-winning “Bronco Billy” with Chip Rosenbloom and John Torres. She co-wrote (with McBroom) and produced the songs for 20 animated features for Universal Studios including the beloved “Land Before Time” series, and most recently, two new “Curious George” features. The winner of 2019’s Bistro Award for Outstanding Songwriter and Musical Director, she’s worked with artists Amanda McBroom, Ann Hampton Callaway, Dixie Carter, Heather MacRae, Donna McKechnie, and more. Brourman has been called “a consummate artist/composer…. whose songs target the human condition with a simplicity, honesty and directness which make them into contemporary classics.”

“Miss Brourman is the most talented of a new breed of nightclub arranger who understands Broadway, country, and rock-and-roll equally well, and her settings run from classy pop-chamber music to lilting country jazz.” - Stephen Holden, New York Times
