Briscoe Biography

Briscoe is an Austin-based Americana duo composed of Truett Heintzelman and Philip Lupton, two Texas natives whose collaboration began in middle school. Philip Lupton launched the project during his senior year of high school as an outlet for his original music. The pair officially formed Briscoe while attending the University of Texas, where they developed a shared interest in storytelling through music. Lupton is from San Angelo, and Heintzelman is from San Antonio. Briscoe draws musical influence from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s, with artists such as Neil Young, James Taylor, The Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Carole King, and Paul Simon shaping their sound both musically and lyrically.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Lupton and Heintzelman performed at a variety of venues in Austin, including backyard shows and country club gigs, as most traditional venues were closed. After graduating from the University of Texas, the duo signed a record deal with ATO Records, a label that includes acts such as Black Pumas, Alabama Shakes, and My Morning Jacket. Briscoe recorded its debut album, "West Of It All," during their final months as college students. The album marked the duo's evolution from their self-titled debut EP, which incorporated soul, jazz, and saxophone over a folk base, to an Americana-rock sound with pop influences.

The folk-rock band established itself in the honky-tonk scene of the Texas Hill Country before joining tours with Noah Kahan and Dave Matthews Band. Briscoe has performed at festivals including Bonnaroo, Sound on Sound, Catbird Music Festival, FairWell Festival, Iron Blossom Festival, and Wonderbus Music & Arts Festival, as well as previous appearances at Innings Fest and Shaky Knees. The duo has also played at iconic country music venues such as the Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium. In Austin, Briscoe sold out an eight-show residency at venues including C-Boy's Heart & Soul and The Continental Club.

"Heat of July" is Briscoe's second studio album, a 12-track collection inspired by cross-country tours. The album expands the band's folk-rock sound with larger arrangements, harmonies, and guest musicians, resulting in a cinematic version of American roots music. Produced by Grammy-nominated producer Brad Cook, who has worked with Bon Iver and The War on Drugs, the album reflects Briscoe's evolving approach to Americana and folk-rock. The duo also released the single "The Heart of Texas," inspired by flooding in the Texas Hill Country, with proceeds benefiting recovery efforts, underscoring their connection to their home state.
