Originally from the foothills of Colorado, Bay Bryan is a singer-songwriter whose concept album The Meadow (2023) caught the attention of audiophiles across genres, including DJs Luke Una, James Holroyd and Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy; Mr. Bongo Records, Piccadilly Records and BBC Radio 2’s Folk show with Mark Radcliffe.
With deep roots in the theatre, Bay brings a bard-like flair to his live performances often weaving stories in and out of songs, making for a cabaret-like atmosphere that is playful, authentic and ethereal. Since The Meadow‘s release Bay has gone on to play live shows at The Jazz Cafe, Manchester International Festival, HOMOBLOC, Shakespeare North Playhouse, Live at Leeds and more.
“Bay’s ability to conjure imaginative, story-led songs, cinematic and otherworldly, allows them to stand out from the crowd…” – Fortitude Magazine
As of 2025 Bay begins the process of recording a second concept album, currently titled BAYARD which follows on from The Meadow into a mystical woods. Departing from The Meadow’s more introspective, folky core, BAYARD is full of playful funky energy, drawing from influences such as Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse and Stevie Wonder. If you’ve heard Bay’s recent single ‘Drifting’ you can hear a nod to what is to come.
