Brynn Live
Inspired by the likes of Damien Rice, Jeff Buckley and Ani Difranco, 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, The Alma Cafe and Straight No Chaser) Brynn delivers powerful and emotional performances that linger in the hearts of it's audiences long after they have ended. This show will be Brynn's last ever Cape Town show, you won't want to miss it!
Brynn began in July last year 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. Their first single from their forthcoming debut record was released in September 2015 and will be followed up by a 4 track EP entitled "Vinegar". The record is set to be completed in New Zealand by December 2016.
Julian 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.
Grahamstown local Rob Fowler has had extensive musical training in the past and has played trumpet and bass guitar for various bands and groups over the years. Most recently "Black Rabbit", before joining Brynn in 2014.
Frances Sholto-Douglas has been regularly performing in musicals for the last three years in varieties of venues around the city (Such as Alexander Bar and the Artscape). She is excited about her future in the performing arts and is looking forward to seeing where it will take her.
