Based in Seattle, West Coast folk artist Bryan John Appleby has been writing, recording, and performing his music for almost two decades. His body of work incorporates breezy mid-century pop, intricate finger-picking, and thoughtful cinematic layers.

His latest full-length, Underwater Easy Breathing, exemplifies his distinct production palette. Lush, coastal, and synth-laced, the album is a natural next step in his wandering, often densely layered repertoire. Previous works include The Narrow Valley (2015), a cinematic, maximalist concept album drenched in dreamy, orchestral elements and experimental sounds, and Fire on the Vine (2011), a darker collection with moreconventional folk structures and organic instrumentation.

With a house show tour circuit taking him throughout the Western States, Appleby has shared the stage with artists such as Damien Jurado, Deep Sea Diver, Tomo Nakayama, Y La Bamba, Shaina Shepherd, Dean Johnson, and Sera Cahoone and many others.
