Music fans, get ready for some soulful sounds. Daniel Romano, known for his eclectic style, has unveiled a fresh musical venture that is set to capture hearts across the East and Central regions: the folk project known as Briar.

Briar brings together a talented group of musicians, including Romano himself alongside Carson McHone, Tommy Major, and Fliss Horrocks, promising a unique blend of folk sensibilities. Adding further depth to the lineup, Eliza Niemi joins the group, ready to elevate their debut material.
The anticipation is already building, as the band prepares to release their debut album, Aeterna Memoria, which will arrive on October 30th via You’ve Changed Records. This new record is poised to be a defining statement for the band’s emerging sound.
Following the album release, the focus shifts to the live experience. Briar is kicking off their first headlining tour this November, embarking on a memorable journey across Ontario and the East Coast. Fans can look forward to live performances in major cities and charming towns alike.
