Music has had a major influence on Bryson’s life and relationship with Christ from a young age. His love for music started with his inspirations from classic rock, 90s country, gospel and the music from our very own contemporary service praise band. He started playing guitar and singing at 11 years old, and started performing with St. Luke’s youth band at the age of 13. 
Prior to joining the staff at St. Luke UMC, Bryson played music and sang at multiple festivals and other venues across the tri-state area. He has served with St. Luke’s contemporary praise band, Ten Cities, playing guitar, bass, and singing for 3 years. Bryson is now leading the contemporary service praise band.
Bryson is passionate about music, and believes that music sets the tone for a deeper level of worship, which he desires to bring to St. Luke.
