  string(1190) "Bird and Byron are an indie rock and soul duo based in Nashville, TN. After launching their careers in Los Angeles, Blake (Bird) and Nick (Byron) returned to their hometown of Columbus, OH during the pandemic. There, they released their first four singles, a music video for Life Is a Bore, and began their One Take Tuesday series, which drew attention from artists such as James Taylor, Willow Smith, Coldplay, and Noah Kahan.

The success of One Take Tuesday led to the recording of their debut EP at Nashville’s Bomb Shelter with producer Andrija Tokic, followed by sold-out shows and festival appearances.

Since relocating to Nashville in 2022, Bird and Byron have headlined national tours, supported acts like Ocean Alley, Durand Jones and Old Crow Medicine Show, released two additional EPs, and grown their audience to over 250,000 monthly Spotify listeners and 100,000+ TikTok followers. They’ve secured sync placements in film and television, became the flagship artist for Lions Gate Records, and released their debut album in July 2023.

They look forward to continuing tours in Fall and Winter 2025, and the eventual release of their 3rd EP, out everywhere Fall 2025."

  string(1127) "The San Diego via Boston alt trio that disappeared before most folks caught on. Jejune, formed at Berklee College of Music in 1996 and relocating to San Diego, spent years building a sound that owed as much to dream pop as it did to the emo scene they were part of. Male-female dual vocals, guitars that shifted from jangly to blown-out, songs that hit harder than anything around them at the time. Putting out two genre-defining records on Big Wheel Recreation, Junk and This Afternoon's Malady, a split with Jimmy Eat World, and then abruptly breaking up in the year 2000, leaving the world to catch up.

The world did. The records lived on in record collections and passed between fans like a secret worth keeping — and a younger generation found them just as hungry for it as anyone who was there the first time around. Now, after a successful run through Japan on the Sakura Nights tour and some excellent record reissues courtesy of The Numero Group, the emo indie rockers are back and touring the U.S. for the first time in over twenty-five years. All three original members.

All the songs. No excuses to miss it."

  string(1648) "Ghostly Kisses is the ethereal indie dream-pop project of Margaux Sauvé and Louis-Étienne Santais, a Quebec City–based duo known for crafting intimate, evocative, and cinematic songs that blur the line between the personal and the universal. After Darkroom (2024) — an album born from anonymous letters shared by fans around the world — Ghostly Kisses turns inward, embracing a more reflective and introspective chapter.

Rooted in dream-pop, their sound is shaped by cinematic minimalism and intimate, poetic songwriting. It lives in the quiet spaces — where vulnerability meets atmosphere, and emotion lingers long after the last note.

Written over years of travel and performances across continents, their recent work explores the many forms of distance — physical, emotional, and existential. It reflects on what separates us: from the people we love, from who we once were, and from the versions of ourselves we imagined becoming. Their music navigates estrangement and longing, the fragile passage of time, and the tension between our desire for permanence and the reality of impermanence.

As their world expands through movement and encounters, a contrasting intimacy emerges — the desire to build a home, to create life, and the vulnerability that comes with it. Their work embraces life in all its contradictions: ordinary and extraordinary, fleeting yet profound.

Through delicate melodies, understated electronics, orchestral textures, and deeply human storytelling, Ghostly Kisses invites listeners into a space where simple gestures carry immense weight — and where, even across distance, connection endures."
