BRYCE WASTNEY: A Perfect Day For Travel

BIOGRAPHY

From humble beginnings Bryce has turned his love for music into a full time event since 2006. This home grown kiwi musician performs beautiful acoustic songs that draw on emotion, rawness and honesty.

This guy has a heart for people and a musical passion larger than life. His stage presence is engaging as he naturally interacts with humor and stories that will warm your heart.

Inspired by the likes of Damien Rice, Neil Finn, Cold Play & Bob Dylan, Bryce’s music shows depth and is drawn from an interesting journey of life experience.
In 2001 Bryce was reluctantly forced to leave his boat building career behind, due to toxic poisoning from fiberglass. He moved to Sydney where he won a scholarship and completed a visual arts/teaching degree, and began learning the guitar. Skills remembered from piano lessons taken as early as 6 yrs old paid off, combined with a solid work ethic , Bryce honed his craft while busking and playing at open mic nights- then things started to happen..

His live show is like no other, featuring a stunning background visual show featuring epic aerial footage filmed from helicopters flying over beautiful New Zealand scenic locations. Bryce performs solo, with guests and leads a talented backing band when the need arises. There's no doubt, solo with his trusty acoustic, Bryce is ' at home ' on the stage.

" His amazing sound of musical compositions, amused the audience with awesome groove & rhythm." Kellie Tamiti

“ It's pure ear-candy wrapped in ballad-perfection. ” amplifier album review

" Bryce is a talented artist of great integrity working the NZ scene." Paul Ubana Jones

Based in New Zealand’s west coast town of New Plymouth, he teaches guitar part time, and shares his music nationwide in bars, cafes, festivals, wineries, schools, radio stations & churches- where he is building a respectable following.

Some notable achievements include:

- 2007 Independently releasing a well respected debut album “A Perfect Day for Travel” of which 5 songs were recently selected for the movie sound track - The Last Paradise (awaiting release)

- ' Surf the Sky ' won HOT PIC award in the Pacific Songwriting competition recently.

- Signing a Music works guitar / PA endorsement deal.

- Released a successful acoustic self titled EP in 2005 which sold out.

- Performing with some of NZ’s & Australias finest artists - Paul Ubana Jones, Anna Coddington, Stu Larsen, Brandon Reihana (ex Blind Spot), Luke Thompson, Chris Cope, Lauren Thomson, Karen Hunter, Dale Willis...

- Toured NZ & Australia, and performs at music festivals incl Parachute, Black Stump (Australia), Parihaka, Festival of the Lights, Taste Tasman festival, the Playhouse Theatre, has featured as a guest musician for 1 month on a luxury American cruise ship, guest presenter at GTARANAKI festival, TEAR FUND NZ ‘ sponsor a child’ tour with Australia’s Stu Larsen (Sept 2008) and Acoustic Volumes tour with Chris Cope (March 2009).

2009 looks promising for this professional and hardworking independent artist who is currently writing songs for a second album.

Hi

Thanks for making the Roy Moore 2010 governor unofficial, your friend. Spread the news that we need (moore)friends for Judge Moore. I don't think you will find a more honest man, we need more men like him in office. Feel free to contact me with any ideas that will help get him elected.

Thanks

Many thanks for the add. Hope you enjoy the music and message behind it. My mission in life is to fight Human Trafficking. understanding the individual pain of others is sometimes to painful for an other individual to touch and that is frightening ...
what i mean is that someone whose life is not traumatized and brutalized as a regular sequence of every day events unconsciously seeks the camouflage and shelter of apathy and banality from the reality of such devastating anguish and terror ...

but the spirit of young people who are used as sex slaves in the systematized global industry of human trafficking is now reaching out to the human fellowship in hope and desperation and through technology ...

it is scary when humanity turns a blind eye to this horror ...
its like ignoring genocide whilst it is happening ...

what i am asking is that if you hear the cry of these young people who are existing in an environment of torture and brutality each and every day that you then please do not turn away from them ...

please reach deeply into your heart and soul and please in 2009 join a movement or become a part of an event that challenges modern slavery in the 21st century ...

-Colin

I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Well I hope everything works out and you get to come. How's the music going? Have you listened to John Mayer's cover for Free Falling? If you haven't you should definitely check it out. John Mayer's voice is so awesome.
Talk to you later!

Hey Bryce!!! I just got back from my 10 day mission trip to Belize. I went with a youth group from the church. I've never been to New York but if you were there that would be a great time to see you and visit NY. When are thinking of coming to the U.S.? What have you been up to? I hope you're doing good! Talk to you later.
