Snyder paints a new layer over top of a folk canvas with lyrics that read like a diary and sound like an old, distant but precious memory. In the forthcoming album Painting Over Pictures, an instrumental backbone supports the honest and intricate lyrical body as Ferdinand the Bull delves into a bigger sound that steps outside the standard formula of songwriting.

Snyder has taken his band from coast to coast, using interweaving instrumentals and contemplative, confessional lyrics to resonate with the stories of listeners everywhere. Ferdinand the Bull is an obsession and a meditation on vulnerability and passion - the inescapable nature of feeling and growing. Snyder’s smoky baritone and honest, hyper-personal songwriting elevates classic Americana arrangements to a uniquely intimate yet dynamic musical experience.

In the basements of old Pittsburgh bars, among redwood trees, between highway lines, music comes in moments.ĭefined by emphatic, vulnerable lyrics and an introspective indie-folk sound, Ferdinand the Bull is the project of Pennsylvania-based singer/songwriter Nick Snyder.
