About Nick Byrne

Buckinghamshire, UK based Nick Byrne blends poignant melancholia and thoughtful lyricism into a contemporary mix of indie-folk. Latest single 'Solstice Sun' is a collaboration with Gloucestershire songwriter Tom Symmonds. The multi-layered composition explores the changing seasons, whilst portraying the cycle of our own emotional experiences – and features Nick's band members Alex Baker (bass guitar) and Andrew Lane (drums) as well as violinist Sophia Bartlett of Tugboat Captain. 'Solstice Sun' is the third of Nick’s tracks to be produced by Jake Robbins (Weird Milk, Cusp, Ben McKelvey). Reflecting on the project Nick comments: “Solstice Sun walks you through the cycle of the seasons, but it’s constructed using some associated memories, like spending a summer’s night on the beach, and other more abstract, imagined scenes.” “For me songs about nature instantly immerse us in a specific place as well as help make us feel connected – both to the natural world and each other – helping us feel less alone.” Previous singles 'Houses' and 'Summer Rain' showcased Nick's ability for heartfelt and introspective songwriting, drawing comparisons with Novo Amor and Keaton Henson. Championed by the likes of Mahogany sessions and BBC Introducing – Nick has drawn praise from indie-folk artist Fenne Lily, and Nigel Clark of Dodgy. Perfoming with his live band he has supported artists such as Declan McKenna, Night Flight, Adam Barnes and Low Girl.
