Vancouver-based alternative artist Jon Bryant has announced U.S. tour dates supporting Old Sea Brigade beginning April 2nd in Carrboro, NC and ending May 2nd in Nashville, TN (all dates below). Along with this news, he shares album track "Ya Ya Ya Ya" from his upcoming full-length Cult Classic, out May 17th. He says of the song, "There comes a time in all relationships where communication breaks down and seemingly harmless situations become straining. Sometimes these small vessels of chaos result in disaster. We develop auto-responses to deal with these awkward moments all the while allowing the monster to devour whatever good is left of the relationship. We long for the old days, before the chaos when it was so easy and passionate...a cherished memory now fading into extinction as 'real life' locks in. 'Ya Ya Ya Ya' is a reminder to talk things through out loud before s hits the fan."
In 2015, Jon Bryant joined a cult. His short-lived time in and subsequent separation from this cult would inspire the concept of his Nettwerk debut album Cult Classic. After reclaiming his independence, Bryant penned tunes everywhere from Nova Scotia and Vancouver to Seattle, Los Angeles, and Australia. He explains, "In the early days of writing the music for this album, I saw myself (and the world around me) through the lens of a cult. It was only until I was involved with one, did I actually realize that they're interwoven through so much of culture. To be in a cult is to be human." Stay tuned for more album news from Jon Bryant.
