Vancouver Singer, Songwriter and Multi-Instrumentalist Jon Bryant Channels Catharsis on New Album Therapy Notes
April 4, 2025 BY Emma Orland
Today, Vancouver-based alternative singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jon Bryant releases his fifth full-length album, Therapy Notes [Nettwerk Music Group]. The album channels the catharsis and clarity of a therapy session, mining through thoughts, fears, doubts, and dreams. Listen HERE.
In the five years since his last full-length body of work, Jon Bryant leaned on music to endure. “I was explaining how music works for me to a friend, and this person said, ‘Wow, it seems like therapy’,” Jon recalls. “I can look back at songs and think of all the shit they got me through—whether it was divorce, death, or depression. I realized it’s definitely my therapy.”
Jon Bryant mines through his ideas and emotions, alchemizing feelings into open-hearted lyrics and organic instrumentation. Beyond easily attaching itself to a “genre,” his music is the sound of growth in real-time. As he experiments with tones, textures, and words, you can hear him figuring out life. That’s why he’s consistently struck a chord with listeners worldwide.
His story has unfolded on a series of LPs—Two Coasts For Comfort [2009], What Takes You [2012], Twenty Something [2017], and Cult Classic [2019]—as well as EPs such as Half Bad [2020], Back To Love [2021], and PsychIdyllic Salutations [2021]. Simultaneously, he has amassed 100 million-plus streams across “Headphones,” “Light,” “Wilderness,” and “At Home,” among others. Plus, he incited tastemaker praise courtesy of The Line of Best Fit, Atwood, and more. In addition to his work in the music industry, Bryant is also an actor, appearing in Big Sky, Arrow, Marvel: Sentinel of the Spaceways, Riverdale, Animal Control and Firebug. In 2023 he voiced Bitores Mendez in the remake of the 2005 video game Resident Evil 4. In the five years since his last full-length album, he leaned on music to endure “the canceling and delaying of tours, mourning of lost opportunity, and the existential dread that came with all of that.” Along the way, he wrote what would become his most personal body of work to date Therapy Notes.
Jon Bryant will bring his hypnotic and emotionally charged live show to Canadian audiences for his headline tour. Catch him performing music off Therapy Notes for the first time starting April 23rd in Toronto and wrapping on May 16th in Victoria. Tickets are available to purchase HERE.
