"Hardyman is a very eclectic musician and writer. She favors Bonnie Raitt style vocals in some songs, and then sounds like a young Loretta Lynn in another." Americana Gazette, 2008.
Singer/songwriter Briana Hardyman has been compared to a diverse range of artists such as Stevie Nicks, Emmylou Harris, Jennifer Nettles, Bonnie Raitt, and Lucinda Williams. Hardyman delivers emotionally injected, rootsy songs and performances with hints of blues, soul, folk, and country. A natural entertainer, Hardyman was formerly trained as an actor prior to musically performing and touring throughout the US and United Kingdom. A calm, charismatic performer, Briana touches a breadth of listeners in a sensitive,yet powerful manner.  Americana Gazette senior writer Andy Ziehli called her stage presence"awe striking" following an intimate blues club performance.  “Hardyman has a beautiful deep, full of emotion delivery, and every tune that she leads is a spirited journey. Hardyman wears the emotional impact of each song on her sleeve, capturing the essence of each ballad or barnburner with a special ease and honesty.” Stereo Times, 2008. 
Briana currently resides in Nashville, TN where she has been actively performing and writing since 2006. Following a heavy year of touring throughout the Midwestern and Southern USA, Hardyman spent the latter part of 2008 performing in the UK. Featured in the UK’s premiere Americana magazine, Maverick, and on various BBC stations, Hardyman is showcasing her finest material to date with her latest release, People Like Me.
