Briston Maroney

Briston Maroney writes songs that feel like conversations you'd have driving around late at night. His track 'Freakin' Out On The Interstate' caught on because it captured that specific anxiety of being alone with your thoughts while everything moves past you. He's from Tennessee, and his music has that grounded, storytelling quality you find in a lot of songwriters from that part of the country.

His first EP was called 'Festival Music,' and it had a raw, direct feel. Later albums like 'Sunflower' and 'Ivory' showed him working with different sounds, bringing in touches of rock and R&B while keeping the focus on his lyrics. Songs like 'Caroline' and 'June' are good examples of how he writes about relationships and memory without getting sentimental.

He plays with a band that includes drummer Luke Davis and bassist Will Davis. The arrangements give his songs more space and texture than a simple solo performance would. It's not about grand statements or dramatic arcs, just the work of writing and playing songs that feel true to the moment.
