Simon Joyner

Simon Joyner is a singer-songwriter from Omaha with a voice and story that softly creaks, leans into traces of the past. His songs explore love, loss, and all the things you forget to carry along the way. Beck is a big fan, and he’s been a major inspiration for artists like Bright Eyes and Kevin Morby.

This American singer-songwriter blends indie folk with elements of Americana, country, and folk rock. He’s often mentioned in the same breath as heroes like Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt — not because he sounds like them, but because, like them, he never makes anything more beautiful than it is. And therein lies the true luminous quality of what Simon brings, cause it will still break your heart.

Live, he can silence a room with just an acoustic guitar, pulling you in close. One way or another: Simon Joyner hits you right in the heart.
