Bryan Dubay

BRYAN DUBAY is a Buffalo, NY based singer/songwriter who has been performing his enigmatic brand of indie compositions since the age of 14. Not to be pinned down to a single genre, words such as post-indie, Cerebral Folk-Rock, indietronica, and jangly have all been used to describe his ethereal yet driving sound. A vast range of influences from Fleet Foxes to Tame Impala to Portishead to Elliott Smith can all be heard in his writing and production as the open-tuned guitar hooks and stacked vocal harmonies cohere. 

After his self-released debut album, “Grand Eternal Season,” was released in 2020 with the help of multi-instrumentalist and producer Sam Skinner (Pinegrove), Bryan’s EP, “Detritus,” (via Admirable Traits Records) emerged with great recognition. “Detritus” has been described as a “wonderfully rich and glittering slice of indie rock gold” [Mystic Sons], and a “thoughtful poetic composition” with a “driving, modern, dancey vibe.” [Prism Reviews]. Wild is Calling wrote, “The Buffalo buzz is worth the hype…Bryan Dubay is a dangerous man, and he’s on our radar.."

in 2024, Bryan was in the midst of a flurry of exciting new singles and continuing to receive praise from a multitude of outlets. From the twangy ballad ‘Walk It Off’ to the wall-of-sound synth banger ‘Black Ocean’ all leading up to an album fully released on 9/9/24. As Certified Bop says Dubay is “...an artist unafraid to explore the depths of his sound. As the Buffalo buzz around Bryan Dubay continues to grow, it’s evident that he’s a rising star on the indie scene.”
