Rep: Amy Wagner, A3 Artists Agency Fascinated by the fables, myths, and stories of the human wrestle with the Divine, Brianna Barnes seeks to create expansive and explorative ways to imagine songs about life’s biggest questions - coloring outside the lines and making room at the table for curiosity, doubt, and wonder. Her sound, likened to Brandi Carlile, Sara Bareilles, and The Civil Wars, marries Folk-Rock grit with Singer-Songwriter introspection with an Americana flare.
