Barelyon

 

Introducing a crowd pleasing force

 of musical talent and energy!

Barelyon is what happens when The

 Motor City and The Big Apple join

forces to create an exciting mix of

 soulful pop-rock with a focus on

duets and harmonies. Their sound is

 described as a female Frank Sinatra

 with a bit of Amy Winehouse, joined

 with the catchy songwriting of John

 Mayer meets the White Stripes.

 

While very entertaining as a duo,

 Barelyon brings an even more

energetic vibe when drummer Dave

 McConnell joins the mix in the full

 Barelyon band. They are well versed

 at performing in many different

 types of venues, and can use a

 house PA system or bring their own.

 

Brion Riborn is an established

 Detroit musician, who earned the

 GROUNDBREAKER Award for

HatchFest 2012. He has four studio

 albums under his belt and has

 worked with the likes of Dean

Dinning (Toad the Wet Sprocket)

 and Phil Solem (The Rembrandts),

 and as a solo artist spent many

years travelling between Detroit

and New York to perform.

 

While living in NYC in 2014, Brion

 met NYC native, Leona CW, an

 accomplished model with a voice

 and ear for music, in a small jazz

bar in Manhattan. The two soon

began writing music and started

 Barelyon. Since the duo formed,

they have performed extensively in

both NYC and Metro Detroit. They

 currently call Michigan their home

 and are excited to be a part of

 bringing great music and vibes to

 Motown.
