Bryan McPherson (born March 18, 1978) is an American singer-songwriter of the folk punk genre. Life and careerMcPherson grew up in Dorchester, a working class neighborhood in Boston, MA. He played his first gigs busking in Boston's subway system, Harvard Square, and later at the esteemed Club Passim in Cambridge, MA.[1] McPherson's origin and background characterized many of his early songs, such as O.F.D. ("Originally From Dorchester") or Poor Boy from his first album Fourteen Stories (2007). Fourteen Stories featured a variety of Boston area musicians backing him up, including Woody Giessman of The Del Fuegos. Following an opening slot for Chuck Berry at Berklee Performance Center in 2008[2], McPherson moved from Boston to the Bay Area and started working on his second album. In American Boy / American Girl, Bryan captured the zeitgeist of the U.S. financial crisis and its aftermath in songs like Worker's Song or I See A Flag. After his involvement in the Occupy Oakland protests in 2011 where he performed alongside Amanda Palmer, Boots Riley and Michael Moore[3], he started to tour across the country, basically only equipped with his van, his guitar and harmonica. His many stopovers, some of them in Canada, offered McPherson a new perspective and inspired some songs of his third album Wedgewood, which was released in 2015.[4][5] In 2014, McPherson gained international popularity as a supporting act of the Boston band the Dropkick Murphys on their Celtic Punk Invasion Tour in North America and Europe.[6] A cancelled appearance at the House of Blues in Anaheim caused a stir when McPherson informed his fans that he was banned for his "anti-political police views and drug insinuation" by Disney, who owned the venue.[7] McPherson currently lives in Los Angeles.
