Inspired by the likes of Damien Rice, Jacques Brel and Bright Eyes, Brynn plays a poetic blend of folk and alternative rock with an honesty and passion that is rare to witness. Gathering a positive following through their performances at varieties of venues and festivals around Cape Town (such as the Cape Town Fringe Festival, Octopus' Garden and Obviouzly Armchair) Brynn delivers powerful and emotional performances that leave audiences breathless and hungry for more. 

Brynn began in July last year and quickly released a live EP called "seeds", a medley of rock and folk tracks created during practices. As the band progressed and began to perform more frequently their sound changed and matured dramatically and drifted into its own blend of French jazz, alternative/rock and folk. Brynn has just began the recording of their debut album "Vinegar" which is set to be release in November/December.

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. 

Audience Responses

It was really great to see Brynn perform in the intimate space of The Alexander Bar.
