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.
