"Growing Into My Beard"

Bay Bryan's Musical Solo Show: "Growing Into My Beard"

All-around entertainer Bay Bryan stars in this colorful coming-of-age story about sexuality and the search for self-acceptance at New York's Kraine Theater. Not only is this imaginative and playful performance artist a classically-trained guitarist, pianist, actor and dancer, but he's also a singer-songwriter, who's released two EPs worth of soulful pop-rock. His background is equally wide-ranging. Bryan grew up in Colorado and studied musical theater in Glasgow at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland before bringing his act to New York, where he can be found entertaining audiences at a variety of clubs across the city, with everything from "experimental musical improvisations" to "interpretive dances about tacos."
