JON BRYANT

With a vocal quality in the vein of Jeff Buckley, lyrical themes that are reminiscent of Ryan Adams and Mumford & Sons, and a sonic quality and production level that is on par with the likes of Bon Iver, Bryant's talent grabs hold of you and refuses to let go. One minute he is whipping through the jangly pop of the love ode Looks Better on You, extolling the look of his lover's features in his own clothing, the next he is calmly singing Evening Sun, a duet with fellow Canadian singer Meaghan Smith. By the time Bryant close things out with the haunting, ambient Comfortable Land, you are sufficiently struck by the diversity of his sounds, thoughts and vocal performances, and you'll be dying to know what else he has in store for you.
