Bryan Webb (born 1977),[1] sometimes credited as Bry Webb, is a Canadian singer and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist for the indie rock band Constantines.

History

Webb began his musical career playing in the emo band Shoulder in 1994,[2] releasing a demo tape, a CD/LP and two 7" vinyl (including a split with Morning Again) before breaking up in 1997.[2] Two years after Shoulder's breakup, in 1999, Webb and two former members of the band formed Constantines, though one of them quickly departed.[2][3]

In 2007 he recorded a cover of The Velvet Underground's "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'" as a duet with Casey Mecija of Ohbijou for the compilation album, Friends in Bellwoods.

In 2009, Webb received a Genie Award nomination in the category Best Achievement in Music – Original Song for "Big Smoke", a song he wrote for the soundtrack to This Beautiful City.[4][5]

While living in Montreal, Webb formed the Harbourcoats and recorded an album. In 2009 Webb and his wife decided to start a family in Guelph.[6] Feist heard the Harbourcoats album and invited him to duet on her album. Webb provided back-up vocals on her album Metals, including the first track "The Bad in Each Other".[7]

With the announced hiatus 12 August 2010 of the Constantines, Webb embraced his new role as a newlywed and father.[8] His debut solo album Provider[9][10][11] was released 15 November 2011 on Toronto label Idée Fixe Records.[12][13] The first single, "Rivers of Gold", was inspired by the Constantines' first time playing the Dawson City Music Festival in the Yukon in 2005.[14]

Webb is also the operations coordinator for CFRU-FM, the campus radio station at the University of Guelph.[15] He previously served as programming coordinator at CFRU from 2010 to 2014.

Webb contributed the song "Someplace I'm Supposed to Be" to the 1 March 2013 episode of This American Life.[16]
