“Part Devendra Banhart, part Damien Jurado, today’s artist, Seattle’s Bryan John Appleby, writes lush folk songs that invoke a sweet vulnerability as they draw you into his world.” - Leigh Bezezekoff (KEXP Seattle, WA)

“Few have the skill with words, the deftness with arrangement and the ambition with the sonic palette that Bryan John Appleby has. Even fewer are able to deliver both their words and their music with a voice that simultaneously expresses innocence and optimism on the one hand, and weary experience on the other.” - Andrew Dubber (bandcamp)

About

Seattle based songwriter Bryan John Appleby spent winter and spring of this year holed up with close friends in a Ballard warehouse banging pots, plucking strings, tapping mason jars, and plunking pianos. What emerged from these musical ramblings was the long awaited debut full-length Fire on the Vine. The album elaborates on his affinity for organic soundscapes and acoustic found sounds.
