ABOUT GRACIE ABRAMS
Since making her debut with “Mean It” in October 2019, Gracie Abrams has
emerged as one of the most compelling songwriters of her generation,
earning the admiration of such likeminded artists as Lorde, Billie
Eilish, and Olivia Rodrigo. A consummate songwriter who names Joni
Mitchell as her most formative influence, she penned her first song at
age eight, then went on to amass a devoted following on the strength of
her emotionally intimate lyrics and DIY sensibilities. As her profile
rose, Abrams was named an artist to watch by tastemaker outlets like
Pigeons & Planes, Fader, and i-D, in addition to being crowned one
of seven breakout female musicians by Vogue UK. With the arrival of her
debut project minor in summer 2020, she received glowing
reviews from the likes of NME, who praised her “painfully honest tales
of heartbreak draped in delicate melodies that carry much more intrigue
than the usual run-of-the-mill singer-songwriter.” Executive-produced by
Blake Slatkin — and also made with leading producers like Joel Little
and benny blanco — the seven-song effort 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. Soon after completing her sold-out North
American headline tour for This Is What It Feels Like, she set to work on her long-awaited debut album Good Riddance. Released in February, and produced by Aaron Dessner of The National, Good Riddance finds
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 stated
that the album “shows a serious command of autobiographical
songwriting” and hailed Abrams as “one of pop’s buzziest young
artists.” Upon its release Abrams set out on a sold-out North American
headline tour and is currently supporting Taylor Swift on select dates
for her blockbuster Eras Tour.
ABOUT G FLIP
G Flip is becoming the role model they never had growing up. A
near-lifelong musician who took up drumming at just nine-years-old, the
rising superstar makes the kind of high-powered rock/pop music that
could only come from the heart and mind of a drummer. As shown on their
debut smash single “About You”—a 2018 release named a Best New Track by
Pitchfork, with Rolling Stone soon hailing G Flip as an “Artist You Need
To Know”—the Australian singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist matches
their potent musicianship with equal parts sonic originality and
fantastically outspoken point-of-view (an element informed by their
experience as a queer, non-binary artist). Born in Melbourne, the
L.A.-based phenomenon now ushers in a bold new era with their latest
single "Be Your Man" and more new music on the way.
On “Be Your Man”, G Flip presents a heart-on-sleeve love song about
defying society’s narrow-minded expectations of what a relationship
should look like. G Flip reveals their deep-rooted instinct for rhythm
and its potential to impact the listener on a purely visceral level—an
element honed through years of playing in garage bands, in addition to
writing and self-producing their own material in their bedroom studio. G
Flip’s nonstop hustle eventually led to the breakout success of “About
You,” along with critical triumphs such as making their widely acclaimed
debut at SXSW. With their debut album About Us released in
2019, they moved to L.A. in 2021 and soon set to work on new music. Now
gearing up for their first-ever U.S. headline tour, G Flip hopes that
their one-of-a-kind sound and sensibilities might ultimately set off a
shock wave of inspiration, empowering people everywhere to embrace their
truth with absolute abandon.
ABOUT MOORE KISMET
The alias Moore Kismet (meaning "more than fate") is a
representation of 18-year-old musician Omar Davis that expresses their
continual creative journey. Moore Kismet has garnered support from some
of the biggest media platforms in the world. Constantly leading the

three years in a row (2020-2022) and were named the youngest artist to
ever perform at both Lollapalooza and EDC Las Vegas in 2021. Moore
Kismet excels as a multidisciplinary creative with a focus on visual
arts, filmmaking and graphic design. Moore Kismet’s unique production
style and stage presence is anything but predictable, which has set them
apart from the crowd. Releasing their debut album UNIVERSE this past June, the world of Moore Kismet exploded.
ABOUT LANY
LANY have quietly cracked the mainstream on their own terms as one of
the most ubiquitous, unpredictable, and undeniable alternative rock
bands of this era. Tallying billions of streams, selling out legendary
arenas, and earning widespread critical acclaim, the platinum-certified
Los Angeles group consistently deliver rafter-reaching anthems anchored
by airtight songcraft and the outsized personality of enigmatic frontman
and songwriter Paul Jason Klein.Thus far, they’ve earned four
gold singles—“Malibu Nights,” “Super Far,” “I Quit
Drinking” [with Kelsea Ballerini], and “Mean It” [with Lauv]—in addition
to scoring platinum status with “ILYSB.” Nominated for “Best Pop Tour” by
Pollstar, their energetic, entrancing, and ever-evolving live show
continues to captivate fans on multiple continents as a huge draw
worldwide. LANY’s 2021/2022 World notably Tour touched down in 17
countries highlighted by sellouts everywhere. They’ve also collaborated
with artists such as Julia Michaels in addition to inciting the applause
of everyone from GQ and WWD to Rolling Stone and Interview Magazine who went as far as to cite their breakout Malibu Nights as “the quintessential 2018 heartbreak album.” At the same time, Paul has unassumingly asserted himself as a modern style icon with features from Harper’s Bazaar, Nylon, and Who What Wear. Marni creative director Francesco Risso even referred to Paul as a “muse,” and the brand has outfitted him on tour and for various events.
ABOUT LIZZY MCALPINE
Born outside Philadelphia, Lizzy McAlpine originally gained recognition
when she began to share original songs and covers on Soundcloud and
YouTube. In 2020, Lizzy released her debut album, Give Me A Minute, chronicling the beginning and end of a romantic relationship. Lizzy's second studio album five seconds flat (2022), which
