Von Bieker
Von Bieker plays bowtie rock to haunt your heart. Retro guitar twang sets a reverb-soaked soundstage for Von Bieker's resonant writing; his voice pushed until it cracks into free-fall falsetto. This is folk-rock dressed in style and substance, revealing influences ranging Bahamas to Jeff Buckley; Radiohead to the Talking Heads; Cockburn to Cohen. Von Bieker's latest four song EP, “Where The Love Comes Easy,” is available wherever fine music is sold or streamed.
