Details
Kalie Shorr (she/her) is a Los Angeles-based singer, Gold-selling songwriter, and Webby-nominated podcast host. Her unique blend of alternative rock, inspired by classic singer-songwriters, has garnered her significant recognition, including the New York Times naming her debut album Open Book the #7 Best Album of 2019. She has shared the stage with legends like Stevie Nicks and Keith Urban, and served as direct support on a North American tour with iconic pop-punk band All Time Low.
Her single “Amy” went viral on TikTok, amassing over 3 million views and leading to an EP produced by rock legend Butch Walker (P!nk, Taylor Swift, Fall Out Boy). Kalie is currently working on her sophomore album while also writing for other artists, including Upsahl, JORDY, Miki Ratsula, Candi Carpenter, and All Time Low.
Taylor Sackson filters the grandeur of classic rock, the storytelling prowess of country, and the studio largeness of Nashville through the lens of modern indie-pop.
The now LA-based singer/songwriter cut her teeth in the Phoenix music scene throughout her teenage years. She lent her powerhouse vocals to several notable projects, which led to The Arizona Republic stating: “Taylor Sackson can wail with the best of them.”
In 2021, she made the move to Los Angeles to pursue music full-time.
“I’ve played shows to two people and I’ve played shows to 60,000,” Sackson explains. “I’ve learned to realize that music and performing are the root of who I am. It’s not just a thing I prefer to do in my full time, it’s how I function.”
Lyrically, she brings a young, modern perspective to classic songwriting tropes—friendship, love, loss.
