"I think one of my favorite songs is “Alameda St.,” a song about returning to one’s roots, one’s true self. There’s a simplicity to the melody, a directness in the lyrics" - Paul Silver, The Jersey Beat

Alameda St

15 Minute epic chronicling 10 years on the road playing shows and living out of a van, spliced with western civilization, and US History.

American Dream

Like the guy that plays the Saxaphone in the movie The Lost boys
On the Santa Cruz Boardwalk with a punk-rock kid named Foy 
Who once saw GG Allen and he came from Kansas
I drank beers with him and Luke Roddy down in Roxbury West

Hello, So Long, And Goodbye

"Lightning Lullaby" is a unifying anthem that speaks to the power of music in connecting people during times of struggle."

Lightning Lullaby

“Troubled Times” is a very subdued number with a spiritual quality, the lyrics sung in a desperate pleading manner, McPherson’s voice raspy as he sings, “Oh God, when I lay my head down on the concrete and ground / In a stranger town of the lost glory bound / Won’t you take my troubled times.” It’s another favorite of the album."

"Live Free or Die" is the first single off of the soon to be released album, Emigrant and The Winter of Death.

Bryan McPherson walked away from everything. The Boston turned California, Singer-Songwriter had enough. Lockdowns, mandates, failed relationships, and record deals were left in the rearview of the remnants of Los Angeles. Bryan fled to Montana landing in the small town of Emigrant, on the outskirts of Yellowstone. Against the backdrop of snow capped mountains and herds of wild Elk, Bryan spent the winter penning his appropriately titled new album, Emigrant and The Winter of Death.

Live Free or Die

“How To Draw Everything isn’t just Bryan’s latest record; it’s a whole new beginning for him as an artist. On the meditative “2 Birds,” he muses, “There’s something about the sky that makes me grateful to be alive.” From the perspective of age comes a spiritual death of what was, and in its place, a re-discovering of peace, country, and self are found. Hope finally outweighs despair and can be reclaimed, like a child wondering at the seeds of a dandelion. Bryan defies us to admit hope was there all along.”
