Bryant has a sound that blends the narrative aspects of country with the kick of southern rock. Through a series of independent EPs and relentless touring, Bryant has built a solid cult following displaying his honest, lived-in lyrics. The rural North Georgia native has earned his stripes playing honky tonks, auditoriums, fairs, and made his Grand Ole Opry debut this past February.
