Retro-pop singer/songwriter Allie Dunn returns back to NYC where she grew up to embark on a new era in her musical journey where she combines nostalgic sounds with modern tones to redefine the definition of "pop."
Originally on a path to be a sports medicine doctor, Allie decided to move to Nashville after graduating her senior year of college to pursue her career as a songwriter. She soon realized that she had so much more to say and found pure enjoyment in playing her songs live while captivating her audience with witty, genuine, and refreshing stage presence. With this knowledge, Allie recorded her first EP "Good As Gone" while still trying to figure out where her sound lies. Finally reaching a point where Nashville was no longer home, she moved back up to Brooklyn. It was here where her roots started to define who she was which ultimately led to this "retro-pop/soul" sound she felt most herself in. From her uncle Anthony playing Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin on family vacations to her father doing his interesting dance moves in the kitchen to Van Morrison and The Sugarhill Gang, Allie was introduced to the soul, jazz, R&B and rock genres. From buying vinyl and discovering Lake Street Dive, Allen Stone, and St. Paul & The Broken Bones on her own, Allie combined all those sounds to ultimately curate her very own. With her recent single "Call Me" out after garnishing 40,000+ streams independently on her last release "Old Soul," 2024 is the year of Allie Dunn.
Denver born artist and songwriter, Claire Nichols, serves up a sucker punch of pop prowess on a platter of biting lyricism. Pushing into rock and electronic soundscapes, her music is a candid exploration of Nichols’ own life. With a song for every mood, “Aperol Spritz” is an infectious and uplifting funk-pop anthem, while “The Dog Song” aligns the failure of a relationship with the loss of a childhood pet, and is a crude admission of chronic wrongdoing in the face of romantic relationships. While she is currently based out of New York, studying at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute, she can be found in google docs and writing rooms everywhere from Oslo to LA.
