Inspired by the likes of Elliot Smith, Jeff Buckley, Damien Rice and David Gray, Brynn plays a poetic blend of folk and alternative rock. Gathering a positive following through their performances at varieties of venues and festivals around Cape Town (such as the Cape Town Fringe Festival, Folk and Acoustic Festival Cape Town and Straight No Chaser) Brynn delivers powerfully honest performances that linger in the hearts of its audiences long after their shows have ended. Brynn will be performing a stripped back and acoustic set and with Alexander Bars' wonderfully intimate venue, it's going to be a truly special evening. This will also be one of the last shows Brynn will be playing in Cape Town for the year, you won't want to miss it!  Brynn began in July 2014 and quickly released a live EP called "seeds", a medley of rock and folk tracks created during their first few practices. As the band progressed and began to perform more frequently their sound changed and matured dramatically and drifted into its own blend of folk, acoustic jazz and alternative/rock. After a year of recording and playing shows around Cape Town, Brynn is growing more and more everyday, and loving every minute of it.

This set will have Jules Terea (Vocals and acoustic guitar) and Joy Millar (Drums) performing together for an intimate acoustic evening.

 Jules has performed around Cape Town regularly since immigrating to South Africa from New Zealand four years ago. Mostly playing in small and intimate venues around the city (Down South, Carnival Court, Obviously Armchair etc). Julian has had the creative freedom and space to develop his musical abilities and understanding extensively over the years. Julian claims that Brynn has been his most personally fulfilling and exciting project yet. 

Joy Millar has been drumming for bands on the Cape Town music scene for over 8 years, namely the likes of "Highly Strung", Ripcord (a regular at the Hermanus Whale Festival) and award winning Hotel Iris who headlined the 2014 Barleycorn music festival. 

Audience Responses

This was the first time we had seen Brynn and had no preconceived ideas. We both felt that he possessed a good singing voice and could definitely play the guitar well, using jazz chords to good effect. His songs followed too much the same structure to hold an audience for a longer set . BUT we were turned off for the remainder of his performance when his first two songs contained swearing in the lyrics; this should be pointed out to him as it is unnecessary and feel this will definitely limit his success and appeal to a wider audience other than his admiring college aged audience last night. It should be noted that the lady who also sang in the set has a most pure and perfect pitch voice and deserves more exposure. It was captivating. We are aged 50+ and as such enjoy coming to the Alexander Bar for informal and intimate performances of singing and playing mostly of melodic (not experimental) jazz.

Absolutely superb. Just wish it could have been longer!!

Loved the intimate space, awesome staff and amazing artists! Perfect way to spend a Sunday evening!!

We had a friend down from JHB on holiday with her daughter with us, she said last nights performance was the highlight of her trip so far. The sound, atmosphere and talent were just 100% awesome. Well done.
