.. One of few with a name
One of many whose motives changed in script
And old hands scrawl the shame
I own the death of the faithful kingâ€™s conscript
But Samson and Delilah know
It takes a long time for hair to grow
So I wander back to bed
With you in mind instead
Bri-anne Swan is a singer/songwriter currently residing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, North America, Earth. She only claims to currently reside in Toronto so as to avoid physical confrontation when she visits her hometown of Orillia.
Bri-anne enjoys listening to good music, eating good food, baking good cookies and reading good books. She detests loud noises, cockroaches, rude people and writing biographies.
Bri-anne very good at staying awake until all hours of the night, but is not very good at sleeping. She would like to become better at sleeping, since she feels rather left out. Bri-anne detests being left out.
It makes her sad.
If youâ€™d like to meet Bri-anne in person, you might consider attending one of her shows. She often plays concerts in and around Ontario and has been known to venture further on occasion. She has been spotted performing throughout the Canadian East coast and video evidence has been collected of her concerts in Manitoba. Rumour has it Bri-anne is planning a five week tour through Western Canada beginning October 2008 in support of her upcoming album "Milk & Honey". This album, produced by Mitch Girio (Kirsten Jones, Shawn Sage, Emma-lee, colleen costello, The Expos) is set to be released in September 2008, provided that neither Bri-anne or Mitch succumb to caffeine overdose from ueber late sessions in the studio.
Feel free to listen to the tracks on this page. If you like them, leave a comment. If you really, really like them you might consider pre-ordering your copy of "Milk & Honey" to help a poor, starving artist with her production costs. If you really, really, really like the tracks, you might consider becoming an artist sponsor for about the price of a cup of coffee a day *wink*.
If you donâ€™t like the tracks, feel free to leave a comment too, but try not to be too mean. Bri-anneâ€™s kind of sensitive like that...
...in a good way.
Ahem.
