Bryant Switzky, a true maestro in his own right, and a Verona, Wis. native who has recently found his way back to the Madison area after two decades spent in the Twin Cities and Washington, D.C.
After this long journey, Switzky rediscovered his passion for writing and performing music. His latest release, "On the Edge of Something" (February 17, 2023), marks his triumphant return with a 14-track collection of soulful, acoustic-driven songs. These melodies delve into life, love, parenthood, and loss, with his clever lyrics, soaring melodies, and passionate vocals resonating with fans of Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, and the Lumineers. Switzky is a regular performer in the Madison area music scene.
Switzky's musical journey began in his childhood, releasing his debut solo album at the age of 18 in 1997. From touring as a guitarist in a Latin band to collaborating on an EP with the group in 1999, he released his second album of original music in 2001 before embarking on his journey to the Twin Cities.
Following several years of pursuing a career as a singer-songwriter, he transitioned into a nine-to-five writing job. This journey led him through roles as a newspaper reporter and a federal government analyst. In 2018, he reignited his songwriting spark, finding that a decade of writing professionally had honed his skills significantly.
His musical prowess has not gone unnoticed, as his songs have received over a dozen accolades from prestigious contests such as the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, the Great American Song Contest, and the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. "On the Edge of Something" and its tracks have also earned him four finalist spots in the Madison Area Music Awards for 2023.
