Brendan is an actor, singer, musician, and comedian from Massachusetts, now based in Brooklyn. He began performing on-stage at the age of 11, and started teaching himself how to play piano and guitar shortly thereafter. He eventually performed in his first professional productions during high school, and when not in a show, worked after school as a children’s theatre instructor and music director.  

After high school, original plans for college in Boston were scrapped after he attended an open call for a developmental workshop and world premiere of Sing Street — and booked it! Brendan originated the role of Gary in Sing Street in a sold-out run at New York Theatre Workshop. He was set to make his Broadway debut in Sing Street’s transfer to the Lyceum Theatre in March 2020, until the Broadway shutdown occurred on the first day of tech rehearsals for the production. 

All music in Sing Street was performed live on-stage by the actors; in addition to playing the role of Gary, Brendan was the lead keyboard/piano player and also played guitar. He can be heard singing & playing keys/piano on the Sing Street Original Broadway Cast Album. During rehearsals for the Broadway run, he helped to design and program new keyboard sounds for the production, working with Sing Street composer Gary Clark (of the band Danny Wilson), music supervisor and orchestrator Peter Gordeno (of Depeche Mode), and renowned Broadway keyboard magician Randy Cohen.
