Briget Boyle fronts a 5-piece Oakland rock band whose sound hits like Liz Phair and Sheryl Crow raised on California highways and hard truths.
"Pristine vocals…These are great songs." — John Apice, No Depression
Raised in a family steeped in music, Briget spent her twenties studying vocal traditions around the world before returning to her own songwriting with a decade of Bay Area stages behind her. She's fronted her band at the Ivy Room, Neck of the Woods, Hotel Utah, and the Lost Church, released four bodies of work including the acclaimed Heartbreak Residue — produced with Jacob Light at ModernTone Studios — and built a devoted following of fans who show up, sing along, and stay after the show. Her antique Gibson J45 and her voice have been her instruments of truth-telling through love, loss, family wounds, and the long road back to yourself.
"The songs on Heartbreak Residue sound like a novel set to music." — J. Poet, East Bay Express
The turning point wasn't one moment — it was a decade of choosing the work anyway. Losing her father. Carrying forward his label, Waxsimile Productions. Writing songs that don't flinch because her audience needs someone to go there first. That's the promise in every Briget Boyle show: you're going to feel something real.
"A thoroughly fascinating and gripping listen." — Gabriel Aikins, Substream Magazine
A new album is in progress. The band is louder. The songs are truer than ever. Come find out what's next.
