Canopy Room Presents: Wyn Doran Album Release Party

Wyn Doran is the solo project of New Hampshire based songwriter Amy Wynne Doran. Wyn was classically trained in voice from a young age and competed internationally with choirs from 2003-2006, singing in the Sydney Opera House in Australia and Carnegie Hall in New York.

In 2018 Wyn was selected as one of thirteen songwriters to work with Ben Folds at a songwriting retreat in California. Her soul-tinged songs dig into personal stories of living with chronic illness, with influences stemming from Adele and Amy Winehouse. Her debut single, 'Places Unknown' received acclaim from press in Portugal, Germany and the US. She was nominated for Female Performer of the Year at the 2019 New England Music Awards.

Josh Knowles is a violinist, singer/songwriter, and composer based in Boston, MA. Formerly educated at Berklee College of Music, he brings an eclectic array of influences to his work. He has trained from the age of four as a classical violinist and is continually striving to fuse his traditional foundation with a myriad of contemporary styles.

Knowles is also a musical artist and poet for Cirio Collective and Boston Ballet, with whom he has appeared on stage for historic runs at the Boston Opera House and the Lincoln Center in New York. He first collaborated with the Collective in 2015, and shortly after was asked to arrange the music and perform alongside violist Anna Stromer for Cirio Collective's piece, "Efil Ym Fo Flah", which premiered at the Vineyard Arts Project in summer 2016. He currently resides as a Community Luminary at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, where he performs regularly.

In February of 2018, Knowles released "Spin Without A Sound," his debut album of instrumental solo electric violin pieces . Largely recorded live, each of the original compositions is built on loops and improvisations spawned entirely from sounds created by the violin, manipulated by multiple effect pedals. Riding the line somewhere between contemporary new age and alternative classical, the result is both symphonic and electronic, unique in its combination of melodic foundation and technical prowess.
