Bryan Drewyor

Bryan Drewyor takes in life, celebrates it, processes it, and tosses it back at us in one big, soul thumping, feet moving, mindful emotion. This predominantly self-taught performer grew up in the Midwest surrounded by a family full of musicians and thinkers. From childhood Bryan was heavily influenced by bluegrass, jazz, rock and folk; he inevitably connected with the piano at an early age and acoustic guitar soon after. Bryan encompasses countless different styles, into his song writing. His main focal point is on the energy and emotion of the words, and how they mingle with the melody that carries the song to a whole new intensity. A mixture of folk, rock, soul, pop, ragtime, blues, and classical, this artist does not hesitate to explore the worlds that raised him. The lyrics that fill his songs with life, are deeply rooted in relationships, and experiences, that come from living, growing, and realizing life’s greater gifts. Bryan shares his understanding of the world, and leaves us with a message well played and received. Both musician and piano convey great liveliness when on stage. Piano chopping, and Bryan himself almost dancing in his seat, he has even been seen doing handstands on the keys and flips off the piano during sets. Do not lose sight of this great essence. Great things are to come from Bryan in the very near future!
