Sayryn is a Nashville based duo that consists of Bryn Jahna and Saya. Both songwriters bring their unique styles to the group, taking on themes such as insecurity, growing up and relationships. While Sayryn only consists of two musicians, their arrangements and harmonies will instantly make you forget that fact. With Bryn on acoustic guitar and Saya on baritone guitar, the duo create a grungy-folk sound that is truly memorable. Their influences range from Simon & Garfunkel to Mitski and Phoebe Bridgers. Sayryn released their debut single "The Mortician" in October 2022, and are working on their debut album "Cautionary Tales", set to release in 2024.
