SYML: Solo in North America in Washington

SYML, the solo project of Brian Fennell, brings his intimate, piano-driven sound to Washington as part of his Solo in North America tour. Known for his emotionally charged compositions, Fennell draws on personal themes of loss, heritage, and adoption, with hits like the platinum-certified single "Where's My Love" finding viral success on TV shows like Teen Wolf and Shadowhunters. His recent album The Day My Father Died, produced by Phil Ek, features collaborations with Lucius and Guy Garvey, while his latest project Nobody Lives Here dropped in April 2025.

Joining SYML on stage is singer-songwriter Katelyn Tarver, known for her own heartfelt pop-folk style. Attendees can expect a night of raw, vulnerable performances, with Fennell’s looped piano and ethereal vocals creating an atmospheric setting. The show highlights his journey from indie band Barcelona to solo acclaim, including his collaboration with Lana Del Rey on "Paris, Texas."

Fans of introspective singer-songwriters will find resonance in SYML's carefully crafted set, which weaves together new material and fan favorites. The Washington date is a rare chance to experience his solo project in an up-close setting, reflecting the Welsh meaning of his stage name—"simple"—yet with profound emotional depth.
