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.
