TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
'What a voice'
"I can't resist music that is imbued with optimism, but also has a drop of melancholy, too. Take Me Home suggests a short story that lives in between its lines, and what a voice to deliver it."
- Rob Jones
'My heart reacts'
"When a song hits home for me, my heart reacts. I love a lyric that tells a story (but leaves room for me to imagine it in my own way) and a melody that I find myself humming for the rest of the day. I don't get that very often. So, yeah, I listened, and listened again, and again... Just wow!"
- Sandra Giguère
'It resonates in my bones'
"Your single [Take Me Home] is in my head all the time. I know it by heart & it’s currently my favourite song. It’s so completely real & it feels like it resonates in my bones. Gorgeous."
- Leigh Jansson Cooke

About me
I love to sing songs that tell stories — and to write those kinds of songs too. I'm currently working on my debut album, which will include original songs in English and French as well as my version of a very well-known song that I almost always sing when I perform.
The album’s lead single, Take Me Home, has been featured on CBC Radio One, Canoe FM, CRFC Folk Everything, CKCU, and community radio stations. Take Me Home was written during the pandemic as part of an online edition of the Hillside Festival’s Girls & Guitars Songwriting program, and I later had the opportunity to perform it on the festival stage.
"Imbued with wistfulness and longing, Briana Doyle’s “Take Me Home” recalls the folk-pop of Judy Collins and Sandy Denny in its purity of tone and depth of feeling. I can't resist music that is imbued with optimism, but also has a drop of melancholy, too. This one suggests a short story that lives in between its lines, and what a voice to deliver it." - Rob Jones (The Delete Bin)
"What a solid result. It’s also an earworm… I just listened again and it sticks … and soars." - Kat Taylor (91.7 Erin Radio)
In addition to my solo project, I perform often in the Greater Montreal area with the folk-rock quartet The Breeze and as one-half of the acoustic duo Pagoda Starling.
