Vancouver-based alternative singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jon Bryant channels the raw catharsis of a therapy session on Therapy Notes out April 4th via Nettwerk. His fifth full-length album gives fans a deeply personal glimpse into his journey through self-reflection, which is depicted in his latest single “High Season” about the struggles of living within your means in today’s society.

“I was explaining how music works for me to a friend, and this person said, ‘Wow, it seems like therapy’,” Jon recalls. “I can look back at songs and think of all the shit they got me through—whether it was divorce, death, or depression. I realized it’s definitely my therapy.”
When discussing “High Season,” Jon reflects, “It feels like life is constantly in high season right now. My generation can’t buy homes and every year seems more and more hopeless. How long can this last where most people my age can barely afford a 500 square foot apartment? You’re mourning the loss of the American Dream or an ideal you thought your life would be.”
Jon Bryant mines through his thoughts, fears, doubts and dreams, alchemizing feelings into open-hearted lyrics and organic instrumentation. Beyond easily attaching itself to a “genre,” his music is the sound of growth in real-time. As he experiments with tones, textures, and words, you can hear him figuring out life. That’s why he’s consistently struck a chord with listeners worldwide.
His story has unfolded on a series of LPs—Two Coasts For Comfort [2009], What Takes You [2012], Twenty Something [2017], and Cult Classic [2019]—as well as EPs such as Half Bad [2020], Back To Love [2021], and Psychedelic Salutations [2021]. Simultaneously, he has amassed 100 million-plus streams across “Headphones,” “Light,” “Wilderness,” and “At Home,” among others. Plus, he incited tastemaker praise courtesy of The Line of Best Fit, Atwood, and more. In addition to his work in the music industry, Bryant is also an actor, appearing in Big Sky, Arrow, Marvel: Sentinel of the Spaceways, and Riverdale. In 2023 he voiced Bitores Mendez in the remake of the 2005 video game Resident Evil 4. In the five years since his last full-length album, he leaned on music to endure “the canceling and delaying of tours, mourning of lost opportunity, and the existential dread that came with all of that.” Along the way, he wrote what would become his new body of work Therapy Notes.
