Phoebe Bridgers
Artist
A Los Angeles, California-based folk-rock artist with a dreamy and hook-filled indie pop heart, Phoebe Bridgers' evocative lyrics and commanding voice have drawn comparisons to artists like Julien Baker, Conor Oberst, and Julia Jacklin. A graduate of the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, Bridgers released her debut 7", "Killer," in 2015 via Ryan Adams' Pax AM label. A trio of buzzworthy singles, "Smoke Signals," "Funeral," and "Motion Sickness," appeared in early 2017 in anticipation of the release of her Dead Oceans-issued debut LP, Stranger in the Alps, which arrived later that September. In 2018, Bridgers garnered even more widespread acclaim with the release of the Boygenius EP, a collaborative effort with fellow indie songwriters Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus. ~ James Christopher Monger
Gracie Abrams
Artist
Since making her debut in 2019, Gracie Abrams has emerged as one of the most compelling songwriters of her generation. A consummate songwriter who names Joni Mitchell as her most formative influence, she penned her first song at age 8, then went on to amass a devoted following on the strength of her emotionally intimate lyrics. Her debut project minor was released in summer 2020 and features her beloved singles “21”, “I miss you, I’m sorry” and “Long Sleeves”. In 2021, Abrams returned with This Is What It Feels Like, a 12-track project exploring such complex emotions as self-betrayal, insecurity, and failed attempts at connection. Her long-awaited debut album Good Riddance, produced by Aaron Dessner of The National, found Abrams opening up about a recent period of intense transformation, bringing even more honesty and depth to her lyrical storytelling. Praising Good Riddance as “one of 2023’s best debuts”, Rolling Stone hailed Abrams as “one of pop’s buzziest young artists”. Now the 2024 sophomore album, The Secret of Us, embodies all the breathless urgency of spilling your heart out to your closest friend at the end of a whirlwind night. Created soon after Abrams took the stage at stadiums across the country as support for Taylor Swift’s blockbuster Eras Tour, The Secret of Us marks her first time taking a hands-on role in the production process. Co-produced by Abrams and Dessner, The Secret of Us ultimately brings a bold new effervescence to her songwriting.

Noah Kahan
Artist
Over the past few years, 2x GRAMMY-nominated Vermont singer & songwriter Noah Kahan has exploded from his New England roots into the global mainstream and been touted as one of the biggest breakout artists. At the core of his music are vulnerable lyrics and an unfiltered yet relatable honesty, as the critically acclaimed artist pens songs straight from the heart and cracks jokes with his signature self-deprecating humor. Across three albums and an EP, Kahan has garnered global renown for his singular mix of Folk, Americana, and Rock, landing over seven billion streams, a 4x Platinum Certification for his hit single “Stick Season,” and collaborations with Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, Brandi Carlile, and more. His widely adored, Double Platinum-Certified album, Stick Season, is inspired by his New England roots and earliest musical inspirations—from Paul Simon to Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens)—conveying a vivid representation of what he loves, fears, and struggles with most. Kahan’s latest “We’ll All Be Here Forever World Tour” saw him performing in sold-out stadiums and arenas around the globe, including two sold-out nights at Boston's iconic Fenway Park. The shows were livestreamed to benefit his mental health initiative, The Busyhead Project, which has raised over $4 million to expand access to mental healthcare and fight stigma. His live album, Live From Fenway Park, was released following the career-defining shows as the final installment of the Stick Season chapter.
