Info: An Croenen Brutsaert

I've seen the name of An Croenen Brutsaert over the last couple years, and somehow she's a Facebook friend of mine - but I don't know anything about her.

Google led me to a Bandcamp Channel with some wonderful recordings. Facebook tells me that she lives in Chester (UK), and that she and her husband attended university in Ghent. What can you tell me about her and her music?

Chester is a nice place for a short visit, however!

Hi Joe,
I have found this thread by accident just now, so I thought I would introduce myself. Born in the USA, moved to Belgium when I was three and then to the UK when I was 27... So I have three nationalities. I am an amateur folk singer and singer-songwriter. I live in Chester. Some of my songs are on Youtube, others are on my first CD, Honey, that came out just a few weeks ago. Look for An Croenen-Brutsaert, Honey on Spotify or on Amazon: https://music.amazon.co.uk/albums/B0BRTLP6J1
The title track Honey is also on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=an+croenen+honey%23%5D
The Raven Folk Club in Chester is where I call my musical home, and my latest musical adventures involve playing with Chris and Debs Lee and Frank Hives in our band called Kingfisher.
My concert was delayed because - much to my heartache - I got Covid the day before. So it's now scheduled for 12th February 2023.

I would be delighted if you listened to some of these and gave some feedback. Any questions, just ask!
Kindest wishes,
An

I met An on some of Jeremy Harmer's Lockdown Folk Zoom sessions. A delightful singer and performer, you'll like her, Joe.
