Lounna

dreamy cottagerock 

Born and raised in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, songwriter and producer Brenna Slate invented her musical project Lounna out of a love for storytelling. Known for her signature blend of indie folk, rock, and Americana, Lounna has cultivated a sound that she dubs “dreamy cottagerock” – a genre that evokes a sense of warm nostalgia with powerful, personal lyrics and themes of grief, healing, and living life intentionally.

In January 2025, Lounna released her sophomore studio album Garden For Winter, a reflection of life’s evermoving seasons, rooted in lessons of resilience and perseverance and woven with imagery of the impending spring after a long, liminal winter. The album has garnered praise from indie music blogs and even earned Lounna the title of WYEP’s Pittsburgh Artist of the Week during the week of release.

Lounna’s music is a soundtrack for the quiet moments of reflection, reminding us of what it means to remain hopeful even amidst the darkness.
