“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.”

Music Projects of The Brothers Grimm | AJ Grimm Classical & Flamenco Guitar | BC Grimm Cello, Guqin, Pipa, Guzheng, Ableton | Groups: Brothers Grimm, Watercourse Q4, Lovely Socialite, Brain Grimmer, Stray Passage |  For over a decade the Brothers Grimm have been performing string music together on Guitar, Cello, and Chinese string instruments. They draw upon musical experiences abroad (BC: Chinese music in Hong Kong / AJ: Flamenco in Granada, Spain) in addition to contemporary classical music, forming flexible approaches in composition & improvisation.  In recent years, the Brothers Grimm have found a niche composing & performing live scores for dance, theater, & film.

Musically, the multiplatinum GRAMMY® Award-nominated trio of Southern California sisters Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim trace a winding path through genres and musical eras—similar to how Ventura Boulevard paves its way through a myriad of Los Angeles suburbs and neighborhoods. Since 2012, the group have made a mark on their own terms with eclectic songcraft in the studio and electrifying performances on stages worldwide. With five career GRAMMY® nominations to date, they became the first all-female band nominated for “Best Rock Album” with 2025’s I quit, and previously made history as the first all-female rock group nominated for “Album of the Year” for 2020’s critically acclaimed Women In Music Pt. III. Prior, they released the gold-certified Days Are Gone [2013] and Something To Tell You [2017]. Over the course of a decade, they have also notched two #1 debuts on the UK Albums Chart and two Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200. Haim’s highly anticipated fourth studio album, I quit, was released in June 2025. The deluxe version of the album features three new songs, including “Tie you down” with Bon Iver.
