Tone Indbryn

My name is Tone Indbryn and I was born in North Vancouver to Norwegian immigrant parents. I started my adult musical journey as a single mother in East Vancouver in the 90’s. At the time I would have fallen into the genre of Anarchoustic armed with a guitar, unique voice and a plucky attitude. I was fortunate to be a part of the creative evolution of the time and so my journey in the “music scene” began. I have of course developed over the years and expanded my sound more contemporary folk rock with a dash of Jazz. Lately I find my interest is being slowly drawn towards more progressive expression.

I started song writing while pregnant with my son in the bathtub of all places it just seemed to come to me lyrics, melody. I quickly jumped out of the tub grabbed a paper and started writing a wet  drippy tune about love of course. After that it was just clockwork something inside of me just clicked, and I haven’t stopped. This desire to write of course is connect to a desire to share and so I have just been feeding that fire to connect with people through music and words. Over the years I have been lucky enough  to perform in some amazing venues with some talented artists,some of which are no longer with us. festivals, fundraisers, radio shows cabarets, coffeehouses . Some of which are Leighton Arts Festival, Sunshine Festival, Arts Wells Festival, East Coulee Festival, Music West, Music Waste -( way back in the day) CITR Radio, Coop Radio, The Railway Club, The Rolla Pub, The Blues Can, Mikey’s Juke Joint, The Press Club as well as being a part of an award winning movie soundtrack titled “The Gutter Diaries” the best movie title in the world! I have also dabbled in writing I have two publications with The Poetry Institute of Canada and have written some articles for BC Musician Magazine. I also write poetry , paint and am recently in love with photography. It seems the creative process is all connected in varied mediums for me.

I’m currently working on a solo album inspired by my contemplations of becoming older as a woman and what that means in our society.  There are always ideas simmering in my kitchen. Please check out my music online I have many tunes out there for you to hear straight from my heart.
