Bryony Dunn & The Forest join the TALENTBANQ roster

Posted on April 17th, 2024 by Natalie Brundle

UK-based and fuelled by a love for 70s harmonies, Bryony Dunn & The Forest deliver a mesmerizing blend of Indie Pop/Alternative. Imagine Fleetwood Mac meets Boygenius, but environmentally conscious.


“Spellbinding, vibrant, and melancholic” – Ami Row, Lock Magazine.


Their distinct fusion of folk, pop, and indie-rock has earned them radio play on esteemed platforms such as Radio X and BBC Introducing. Additionally, Bryony has found placement on coveted Spotify Editorial Playlists like “Lost in The Woods,” “Wholesome,” and “New Pop UK.”

They have supported the likes of Sylvie, Peaness, Newton Faulkner, Ramin Karimloo, Charlie Dore, Martha Tilston, and Roddy Woomble. They are excited to have just earned a place on the Black Deer Festival 2024 lineup. 

Catch Bryony performing her enchanting solo sets during one of our residences at Joe Allen and the SOAK, or better yet, catch her full band show live at Black Deer Festival on the Caffè Nero Imagesound Stage in association with TALENTBANQ.
