“Listening to 'see in the dark', I was swept into a haunting, comforting, and profoundly moving world.”
— Laury Verdoux, Reyt Good Magazine review of See In The Dark album
Aerynn Bio.
With a “breathtaking voice” that “lulls you into a blissful trance”, Aerynn is an American-born singer-songwriter creating music in the North of England. Socially awkward and shy but with no qualms about singing vulnerable and real songs to others, songwriting is aerynn’s therapy as a process to feel less alone in this strange world. Aerynn’s hope is that her songs will spark an emotional response and inspire others like her to feel less alone, too.
"See In The Dark," Aerynn's album released late 2024, is a heartfelt collaboration with producer Mark Winterburn, who has created stunning aural worldscapes for aerynn’s songs to reside in. The fully-produced 14 song album is in stark contrast to Aerynn’s previous all-acoustic EP, “Summer Leaves”. “See In The Dark” is a sonic journey of reflection and confession, hope and heartache, each song telling a personal tale that resonates universally with a thread of truth, inviting listeners to embark on an introspective journey of their own. It's a delicate balance of dark and light, centred in an authenticity that has become Aerynn's signature. Featuring overdubs by family and friends on both sides of the Atlantic (such as Billy Strings' own fiddler, Alex Hargreaves), this post-apocalyptic handbook nestles Americana-esque comfort alongside expansive cinematic art music.
Alongside a career in Astrophysical Observatory Support, Aerynn creates, codes, lives and teaches in Macclesfield, United Kingdom. Join the journey and subscribe to her beloved email community, or follow on socials @aerynnmusic.
