SYML

On Wednesday, 26 March 2025, Seattle-based singer-songwriter SYML will take to the stage at LantarenVenster in Rotterdam for an intimate, sold-out performance. Doors open at 19:00, with the concert beginning at 20:00.

SYML, the moniker of Brian Fennell, rose to international fame with his hauntingly beautiful hit Where’s My Love. True to his artist name—meaning "simple" in Welsh—SYML's music is a testament to the power of simplicity. Armed with just a piano or an acoustic guitar, Fennell delivers emotionally raw performances that resonate deeply with audiences.

Music serves as a sanctuary for Fennell, offering him a space to process emotions and create art that feels instinctual and authentic. His fragile yet powerful vocals, paired with delicate piano melodies and stirring guitar arrangements, are designed to pierce the soul. SYML’s work celebrates the beauty found in pain and vulnerability, and his live performances embody this philosophy with poignant precision.

At LantarenVenster, SYML will perform in a stripped-down duo format, creating an intimate and immersive atmosphere. The evening promises a profound connection between the artist and his audience, underscoring the timeless elegance of his craft.

This special concert is a collaboration between Rotown and LantarenVenster, featuring mainly standing room and limited balcony seating for a select few.
