Songwriter and actor/musician Bay Bryan, based in Manchester (UK), is originally from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado (USA). Their debut album "The Meadow," (released April 2023) has sonic similarities to Anaïs Mitchell, Ethan Gruska and The Magic Lantern, and is teeming with themes of nostalgia, transition, existentialism & longing, and is almost cinematic in the way that it explores the process of leaving one's current outgrown reality in order to move onto the next chapter calling them. "Bay’s ability to conjure imaginative, story-led songs, cinematic and otherworldly, allows them to stand out from the crowd…" - Fortitude Magazine With over 10 years of professional experience as an actor, singer and theatre-maker, Bay's commanding presence on stage never fails to enthral a live audience. Recent live shows include MIF 2023, The Jazz Cafe and Deaf Institute. Upcoming shows include Live at Leeds and Beyond The Music in October 2023, and HOMOBLOC in November.
