“California Stars” OUT NOW

Brad Byrd stands at the intersection of indie-rock and alt-country, crafting a sound that’s uniquely his own and impossible to ignore. His catalog has reached millions through placements in 80+ major TV shows and indie films, and his breakout track “Never Came Back” once hit #1 on ArtistDirect.com, topping artists like Jewel and Jason Mraz.

Byrd’s music has earned national credibility with multiple songs in rotation on KCRW and KCSN (SoCal Sound)—two of the most influential radio stations in the country. His single “Cold World” continues to rise as a AAA crossover favorite across the U.S.

An official SXSW artist in both 2023 and 2024, Brad has also earned praise from legendary tastemakers. LA icon Nic Harcourt simply said, “I’m a believer,” while renowned VJ/DJ Matt Pinfield celebrated Byrd’s raw emotion and delivery:

“Brad’s lyrical performance won me over on the first listen.”

A seasoned national touring artist, Brad has spent over a decade on the road—often 4–5 months each year—sharing stages with Pete Yorn, Joseph Arthur, Jesse Daniel, Fantastic Negrito, Jay Farrar, and many others.

Onstage, Byrd’s solo show is a standout experience: an immersive blend of acoustic and electric guitars, looping, and foot percussion. His full-band performances feature some of the most in-demand studio and touring musicians working today.
