biographical info

Jeff Bryant and Zach Stevenson: together they comprise folk/pop duo The Human Statues. Originally from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, these young men are on a mission to spread “jubilation” across the nation. Whether it's playing high-energy band shows at festivals such as the Ottawa Blues Fest, or intimate acoustic performances in theatres across the country, Jeff and Zach are committed to connecting with people through humour, authenticity and a love of music and live performance. Often described as a cross-breed between the Flight of the Conchords and Simon and Garfunkel, Jeff and Zach blend an energetic pop sensibility with lyrical depth and love of vocal harmony.

"Gorgeously bright, jubilant pop"

- ECHO Weekly

"The first time I heard the cd, I was drawn in right away. The Human Statues provide a fun ride through some amazing songs. The only thing better is seeing them live!"

- Steve Darling, Global TV Vancouver

“It's super melodic, well played, smartly arranged and most importantly the harmonies are great.”

- Paul Myers, Author (Barenaked Ladies Biography)

"These guys definitely have the whole package of songs, personality and pizzazz. The world will be hearing about them, big time!"

- David Bash, Shindig Magazine (London, UK)

"Consistently win over audiences, whether they are prepared for it or not"

- Jason Schnieder, The Kitchener/Waterloo Record

"Catchy melodies, rich vocal harmonies and clever lyrics"

- Jennifer Miller, Whistler Question

“Jeff Bryant and Zachary Stevenson play off each other brilliantly”

- Patrick Blennerhassett, Victoria News Group

“Simon and Garfunkel's hooks and harmonies with the whimsy of Flight of the Conchords. Could they be Canada's next Barenaked Ladies?”

- David Lennam, Shaw TV Victoria
