Riun Garner is a Canadian singer-songwriter from Vancouver, BC. His debut EP “All We Know and All We Forget” which has been featured on Spotify editorial playlists including “The Most Beautiful Songs in the World” introduced him to listeners everywhere and achieved him notoriety among industry professionals. Fondly compared to the likes of Elliott Smith, Riun’s influences draw from the formative alternative indie-rock music of his youth growing up in the late 90s with the fresh perspective of modern contemporaries such as Whitney, Hovvdy, and Phoebe Bridgers. As a two time winner of the Canadian Songwriters Challenge, Riun Garner has been expanding his scope and talent as a singer-songwriter and artistic craftsman. Though deeply personal, Riun’s songs seem almost written for you or about you. They embody that which we can’t always comprehend: the irreconcilable joy and loss of loving. And there’s a truthful emotionality and earnestness that invites you to reflect on our own lives. His new music marks a significant shift in production and musical accompaniment while still leaning into the fluttering analog tape recorded elements that bridge the nostalgic upbringings of his EP and makes it akin to a gifted mix tape from friend or lover full of timeless classics.

Semi Athletic's specialty comes in the form of impressionistic songwriting paired with tasteful production and guitar riffs, otherwise known as "the tone zone". As a Canadian who grew up in Prague that calls Alabama a third home, his output is a synthesis of time spent digging through record crates around the world and working in Muscle Shoals recording studios. 

Live performance highlights include opening for John Paul White at The Wise Hall and a TV appearance on Music Room by Televize Seznam.
