Singer-songwriter Bryan Bielanski said he is especially appreciative of venues and locales receptive to his eclectic range of entertainment, which spans from acoustic guitar and harmonica to bongo drums and kazoo.

Bielanski is based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and has been performing at Port Townsend venues such as Sirens since 2014. “Sirens is familiar stomping grounds for me,” said Bielanski, estimating he had performed there four or five times. He is slated to return on Friday, Feb. 28.

Bielanski said he feels a “great rapport” with Sirens and its audiences, whom he described as “wonderfully supportive.” He also praised the area’s pristine vistas: “It makes for a beautiful drive,” he said as he laughed.

He described himself as falling under the general heading of rock-and-roll but said as inspired as he is by “classic, old-fashioned” rock, his sound tends to be relatively unique. It’s described it as a combination of high energy performances, catchy tunes and upbeat moods.

“I think my music is not what folks might typically hear,” said Bielanski, whose lyrics address contemporary themes. The goal is transmit a feeling that is “instantly familiar, yet excitingly fresh at the same time.”

Bielanski credits his ceaseless schedule of touring throughout continental North America, Europe and Asia with providing plenty of inspiration and material for his songwriting.

“I just really enjoy traveling,” said Bielanski, whose largely positive outlook is reflected in the title of his four-volume set of albums, “Bryan’s Super Happy Fun Time.”

He added, “I can do everything from silly to serious, but I do tend toward happy-go-lucky. From the first time I performed musically in front of an audience as a teen, I’ve found it exhilarating.”

Bielanski said he gets a kick out of seeing smiles on his listeners’ faces, and watching them gradually “de-stress” over the course of a performance.

“Touring can be a lot of hard work, but I get to meet so many interesting people, young and old alike, through my travels.”

Bielanski said what he loved most about coming back to the Olympic Peninsula “is engaging with its supportive audiences, who seem more into the experience than a number of other audiences. Washington state has really come through for me over the years.”
