SYML Shares Concert Film “Live At Hangar 30” + Announces One Night Only Show with The Seattle Symphony on 10/25
June 28, 2024 BY Bailey Vigliaturo
Seattle-based singer, songwriter, and producer SYML shares an intimate seven-song concert video, LIVE AT HANGAR 30, directed by Grant James (Father John Misty, HBO’s Raised By Wolves). Filmed in Seattle’s hauntingly spacious, historic Hangar 30 in Magnuson Park, a WWII Naval Headquarters and the launch site of the first Around the World Flight in 1924, the set features two never-before-heard songs alongside several recently released singles. For the concert, Brian Fennell (SYML) is seated at a piano and on guitar and is accompanied by a quartet (Brian Eichelberger – violin, vocals, Abby Gundersen – violin, piano, vocals, Lauren McShane – cello, Trevor McNamara – viola) on strings. Included in the performance is his new cinematic anthem, “Oblivion,” which builds with Fennell’s striking falsetto soaring over pounding drums and cascading strings. The recent track was recorded and produced alongside longtime collaborator Brian Eichelberger, who can be seen on violin in the video. The film premiered today at 12:00 PM ET, and the audio will be released as a live EP at midnight (June 28th). Pre-save here: https://syml.ffm.to/liveathangar30.

SYML has also announced a special one-night performance with the Seattle Symphony at Benaroya Hall on October 25th in downtown Seattle. No stranger to performing in hushed chambers, including St Mark’s Church in Seattle, the performance will be his debut with a symphony. The orchestra will be led by Melbourne-based conductor Nicholas Buc. Tickets go on-sale July 27th.
Prior to the orchestral show, SYML will play Winnipeg Folk and Rifflandia Festivals this summer and join British singer-songwriter Passenger on his North American tour, which starts August 22nd at Massey Hall in Toronto and includes stops in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Oakland, and more before wrapping on September 10th at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver.
