Description
Briscoe is the Austin-based project of Truett Heintzelman and Philip Lupton. Formed during their time at the University of Texas, the pair released a self-titled EP and are currently working on their forthcoming debut album by Grammy-nominated producer, Brad Cook (Bon Iver, The War on Drugs, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Waxahatchee).
This year Briscoe will feature at quintessential Summer festivals including Bonnaroo, Sound on Sound, Catbird Music Festival, FairWell Festival, Iron Blossom Festival, and Wonderbus Music & Arts Festival, which adds to their previous festival appearances at Innings Fest (both Tampa and Tempe events) and Shaky Knees. The band has supported Noah Kahan, Ruston Kelly, CAAMP, and Zach Bryan on tour dates across the country. At home, the band has recently sold out an eight-show residency at Austin's legendary venues, C-Boy’s Heart & Soul and The Continental Club.
Briscoe draws musical influence from what many consider the golden years of music - the late 1960s to the mid-1970s. Artists such as Neil Young, James Taylor, The Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Carole King, and Paul Simon have influenced the pair musically and lyrically. With a variety of instrumentation, Briscoe's live shows and studio recordings meander in and out of genres while consistently showcasing meaningful songwriting and unique melodies.

Indie Rock
Dallas native, Johnston has developed a reputation as a rising light in the blues rock world. At 21, he released his debut EP “Longing” which received support from Spotify, Deezer, AmazonMusic, and more as well as charted at #2 on the US iTunes blues charts on multiple occasions (and has since charted in 19 other countries on iTunes and Apple Music.) Alongside his 2019 single “Isabelle”, he has accumulated over 2 million streams cross-platform. His dynamic voice, blistering guitar playing, and introspective lyricism has made him a force tobe reckoned with. This reputation has allowed him to share the stage with acts such as ColonyHouse, KINGFISH, Bowling For Soup, 3OH!3, Smooth Hound Smith, and more. Alongside producer Drew Long (Judah & The Lion, Betcha, Kris Allen...), Johnston has created an album that borrows from influences such as Alabama Shakes, The War on Drugs, Tame Impala, and Dawes. Embracing change, “Cannonball" is a full splash.
