Hi, I'm Bryan Daste.

I've been recording and touring with a wide variety of artists for about 15 years. Highlights include session work on a Grammy-nominated album for Grammy winners Laura and Eric Sullivan, touring Europe with Courtney Marie Andrews (also a Grammy nominee), playing with Joan Osborne and Matt the Electrician in Alaska, sharing the stage with The Head and the Heart as a member of Matt Hopper and the Roman Candles (as well as sitting in with Josiah Johnson on his solo show), countless shows with Emma Hill and Small Souls, and plenty of session work with the likes of Mike Marsh (Avett Brothers, Dashboard Confessional), Jeffrey Martin, Anna Tivel, Evan Phillips, Pretty Gritty, Tyler Fortier, Myrrh Larsen and many others.

As a recording/mix engineer and producer, I've worked on many albums for a wide variety of artists and genres, from Americana to hip hop to opera.
