Bio / Background
Hailing from Boston, MA, singer/songwriter Brendan Rice creates an intimate sound that finds its way into your head and stays with you. Nowontour.com says, "It's his soulful sound, alluring lyrics, and melodious resonance that moved me...Rice's lyrical cry engulfs your emotions".
Using mood over might, Rice taps into subtlety to draw the listener in. A multi-instrumentalist and avid listener of many different styles-- from the roots blues of Taj Mahal and the lyrical mastery of Bob Dylan to the majestic pop of Wilco and the adventurous sounds of Radiohead-- his many influences find their way into his writing. His live performances are captivating events that range from solo acoustic to backing by a full band.
His debut EP, Trial by Fire, boasts a guest spot by Dana Colley of Morphine fame who contributed baritone sax on two of the tracks. Indiemusic.com called it, "an impressive if overly ambitious effort."
