An intimate and unplugged evening with the alternative folk act that has everyone talking. Stripped down especially for Alexander Bar's intimate Upstairs Theatre, this show will see Brynn's vocalist and guitarist, Jules Terea, and the music of Brynn in its most raw and organic form.

Terea is a vocalist, guitarist and poet originally born in Cape Town. Raised in South Africa, New Zealand and Switzerland by his mother, a very active theatre actress and writer, Terea began to develop an intense passion for expression and authenticity. Terea formed Brynn in 2015 and has been growing with the project and as an artist more and more every day, intensively developing his vocal technique and songwriting, taking inspiration from artists like Jeff Buckley and John Martyn.

Since June last year, Brynn has performed at the Nu-Breed Folk Festival at the City Hall, Blah Blah Bar, Cafe Roux, House of Machines, Alma Cafe, Waiting Room and many other venues around Cape Town. Brynn has also hosted many shows with their collaborative musical performance platform, Duende Sessions, at the Drawing Room and the Bombshelter, sharing the stage with artists like Hatchetman, Manny Walters, David Van Vuuren, Mel Mwevi and Joshua K Grierson.

Over the festive season, Brynn travelled and played shows in New Zealand and Switzerland. Brynn will be starting the recording of their debut album in March this year at Popsicle Studios in Woodstock and will be touring the country after its release. Also on the cards are Australian and New Zealand tours in 2018 and a tour to the United Kingdom.

The hour-long AN EVENING WITH BRYNN runs on 4 March at 20:00. Tickets are available from the Alexander Bar website, costing R90 if booked and prepaid online or R100 if paid on collection at the bar. For telephone enquiries, call 021 300 1652. The Alexander Bar, Café and Theatre is situated at 76 Strand Street in the Cape Town city centre and can be followed on Facebook and Twitter.
