About Bryn Battani:
Bryn Battani weaves clever, tongue-in-cheek lyrics with unexpected arrangements. Influenced by artists like Fiona Apple, Andrew Bird and Regina Spektor, she supports her writing with genre-bending “chamber pop” instrumentation colored by her theatrical background and Western roots. Growing up in Austin, Texas, Bryn immersed herself in the area’s dynamic music scene, co-producing her debut EP All I Have to Offer You Is Anything You Want with Curtis McMurtry and Diana Burgess (of Austin’s Mother Falcon) in 2020. Her sophomore EP Hang Your Clothes explores her relationship with ADHD through smart lyricism and lively string parts. After having only relocated to the Twin Cities in September 2023, Bryn has founded a band, joined two others, and landed gigs alongside a slew of veteran artists. In addition to performing with her fluid group of jazz, folk and orchestral players, she works as a freelance writer while playing keyboard and accordion around town. Her recent self-produced EP, Guest Room, probes into emotional distance and discomfort, serving up a strong dose of wit and self-awareness.
