About

Briget Boyle writes rock songs about heartbreak, resilience, and the things people are usually too scared to say out loud, then sings them like she means it. Raised in Los Angeles in a family of film-music professionals, she sang on Hollywood scoring sessions as a teenager. She spent nearly 20 years as a featured soloist with Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble and has recorded with Beats Antique and Brass Menažeri. Now fronting a five-piece band with a heavier, '90s-rooted sound, she releases a new EP, Lost, in early 2027.

Genre: Alt-rock · Sounds like: Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, Neko Case · Based in: Oakland, CA
