RIUN GARNER
Riun Garner is a Vancouver-based indie/pop artist blending nostalgic Y2K-inspired guitars, cinematic songwriting, and modern alternative production. Inspired by artists like Alex G, ROLE MODEL, and Hovvdy, his music balances massive singalong hooks with intimate storytelling.
A new full-length album arrives summer 2026.
REVIEWS
“ …It seems as if you’re seated right next to him, at a campfire or on the floor of someone’s dimly lit city apartment, sharing in his heartbreak.”
“...Not only does he have rich lyrics that reach deep into the soul, but he has a knack for lovely song arrangements that cut deep.”
“...Riun’s journey developing his debut solo album is just as romantic as his emotionally generous music. It’s like the sonic hug we all desperately need right out.”
“...Outstanding, young, talented solo artist, comparable with Bon Iver or Vancouver’s Dan Mangan.”
“...Garner’s songwriting is instinctive and simple, sung with a soft-spoken quality that tells a relatable story.”
“...Garner has an almost old and wise personality to his performance; his fragile delivery walks the pace of a man with many more years under his belt. It’s all for the better, as it just adds to the emotion in his voice and as a listener, you feel trust in the words like he’s sharing some deep wisdom.”
“...classic and familiar, yet still fresh. This is a heartfelt and accomplished debut.”
