Life.

It’s taken me here.

And here is home.

No real farming experience. Not great at understanding the small-town vigor. And having never explored the basement of the Alamo, Bryan is a Houston-born singer-songwriter based in Swansboro, North Carolina. His songs aim to combine his simple interstate experiences with natural melodies and heartfelt words about nouns. He believes people are genuinely good and writes songs in the hope of inspiring love in action.

“There is probably more I should say. Right now I’m doing the “mid-life” thing.” -b
