SYML Biography
SYML is the musical project of Seattle-based singer and songwriter Brian Fennell, known for atmospheric alternative pop built around intimate vocals, piano, and layered production. The name means “simple” in Welsh, reflecting the direct emotional focus of his songwriting. His best-known songs include “Where's My Love,” “Clean Eyes,” and “Fear of the Water,” which helped introduce his music to a broad audience.
SYML appeared at U Street Music Hall in Washington on September 22, 2018. The date placed his evocative, piano-led sound in the city's close-up club setting, where audiences could experience the performance at a more intimate scale than in a large concert hall.

SYML Fairfax reviews
A Stoopid good time.
SYML was by FAR the most fun I have had at a show all year. Every song was on point and the bands (including the opening act) were incredible. Though the crowd was surprisingly young, the audience and the energy they put forth was a massive part of why this concert was simply amazing. I have seen several HUGE acts this year including NiN, Metallica, and Jane's Addiction. It is so good to feel like everyone around you LOVES being there. This band is what live concerts are all about. I now own every album and am forever a Stoopid fan.
