Release Notes:

Los Angeles, CA January 14, 2005 - - Born and raised
on the North Shore of Massachusetts, Brad Byrd knew
from an early age that music was his calling. During
his years at Syracuse University, he refined his
songwriting skills and found his voice. While in
college, he formed a bond with fellow students Adam
Cohen (son of the legendary Leonard Cohen) and Pete
Yorn. After graduation, they would go their separate
ways with Brad relocating to New York where he would
find his own way cutting demos and immersing himself
in the East Village music scene. Life in NYC would
form the genesis of The Ever Changing Picture and
fuel tracks like "Better Days", "Weird Enough" and
"Driven".

"Do I stay in New York city, Should I move to LA,
Does she love me or does she hate me, Should I have
given it all away and have I made a big mistake" -
"The Ever Changing Picture"

In pursuit of his muse, Brad packed up his life in
New York and made the leap heading out to Los
Angeles, in hopes of re-connecting with his college
buddies and finding a producer that could mold his
vision. Brad met Evan Frankfort, producer/guitarist
for The Wallflowers and Jayhawks, and The Ever
Changing Picture would finally be fully realized.
Working with Evan, he crafted a sound that
accurately reflected his songwriter influences;
Lemonheads' "Great Big No", "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss
Me"-era The Cure, Pearl Jam "Black" and Coldplay
"Yellow", to name a few. At the heart of the album
are songs of uncertainty and longing, of choices and
consequences and the fervent hope that eventually it
all works out.

Brad understood early on the new parity in promoting
music on the Internet and before signing with Free
Agency Recordings has been actively selling his
music on leading independent vanguard sites such as
itunes, awarestore, and CD Baby. He charted three
songs on ArtistDirect.com including reaching the #1
most downloaded track spot with "Never Came Back". A
feat almost unheard of for an independent artist.
Brad has toured across the nation with 2004
highlight performance to a sold out 3,000 plus crowd
at Vail Colorado's Ford Ampitheatre. Music from The
Ever Changing Picture has appeared in television
shows, theatrical movies and much more. Hear and
