ARIAN

Performing at
Katie O'Brien's - Barnsley

About this event

ARIAN is bringing his infectious energy to Katie O'Brien's in Barnsley for a night of brilliant live music. This seasoned singer, songwriter and pedal looper draws from an eclectic mix of pop, rock, country, folk, reggae and funk—with a particular fondness for those beloved chart hits from decades past that'll have you grinning the moment that opening riff kicks in. Whether you're after a high-octane semi-acoustic performance or a more intimate, romantic backdrop to your evening, ARIAN's carefree stage presence and adaptable setlist make him the perfect fit for any mood.

Based in Kidderminster, this experienced performer has built a reputation for leaving audiences buzzing. His approach is refreshingly unpretentious: if he knows the tune, he'll play it; if he doesn't quite know it, he'll give it a brilliant go anyway. Expect those wonderfully familiar moments where you remember every word... until the chorus arrives and everyone's gleefully off-key together. With comparisons to the likes of John Mayer, Zach Bryan and Jon Butler, ARIAN brings a blend of musicianship and approachability that keeps the crowds coming back.

Join us at Katie O'Brien's for a night of great craic, the perfect pint and live music that'll have you leaving with a smile. This is what live performance should feel like.

More Information

About the Artist

Experienced singer, songwriter and looper of pedals. Picture upbeat through easy-listening, romance or barn-dance, obscure to slightly-less-obscure chart hits from way back when. . . The songs that make you go 'hey, I remember that one!' before we all get the words wrong when the chorus comes around! Whether you're looking for endless energy of a semi-acoustic rave or a romantic background atmosphere, this seasoned performer with a carefree stage presence ALWAYS ends in good reviews. If I know it I'll play it and if I don't know it we'll give it a go anyway! If you're still not sold, I'll refer to my recent favourite comparisons: I regularly get told by my clients I remind them of a cross between John Mayer and Jon Butler, Zach Bryan & definitely NOT Bruce Springsteen. If this all sounds good, you should probably book me!
