CANCELLED: ericdoa – THINGS WITH WINGS TOUR w/ Glasear + juno

(CANCELLED) Larimer Lounge Presents ericdoa – THINGS WITH WINGS TOUR with Glasear and juno on Tuesday, May 10th –ericdoa is from what he describes as a “small ass farm town” in Connecticut, certainly not known for its artistic output or community. Without many like-minded kids at school, he spent most of his time on the internet growing up and met nearly all of his closest friends and collaborators online via platforms like Discord and Twitter. Eric grew up around a music-oriented family and was exposed to “raw pop artists” like Rick James, Earth Wind & Fire, and Teena Marie at a young age. When he started making music around 14 years old, these influences meshed with the music he heard online, and Eric taught himself to record and produce his own material.As time went on, this bedroom-based operation developed a humble but engaged following on SoundCloud, where Eric released his debut project, Public Target, in 2020. On the heels of the project, and with several of Eric’s friends and collaborators beginning to grow followings of their own, the online community began to circulate. The music they had been making via Discord calls since their younger teenage years was beginning to buzz, and was soon coined “hyperpop,” even receiving its own Spotify editorial playlist to underline the attention.As with any SoundCloud-born trend, there was skepticism about what “hyperpop” was, whether or not the kids making it would last more than a year or two, and why exactly the music sounded like it did when this first happened. But as Eric and his friends continued to release music, the attention grew, finding an exclamation point in Eric’s late 2020 project, COA.In 2021 Eric continued his upward trajectory of experimental releases and shared a slew of buoyant tracks — his Interscope Records debut, titled “back n forth” which received major support from Rolling Stone and Paper Magazine, followed by “fantasize” which currently has 17 million steams globally and “strangers” which led to Alternative Press naming him one of “The Artists Set To Rule Your Year [2022].” In addition to his solo releases Eric also released his collaborative effort with fellow artist, glaive. The project, which was followed by a sold out US tour, received impressive praise from The New York Times, The FADER, Pitchfork, DORK and more. Today Eric has caught the attention from the likes of Trippie Redd, Yungblud, Addison Rae and many more. As Eric continues to work on forging his own path, up next is his track “sad4whattt” — which was made on a whim with his frequent collaborators Whethan, Glasear, and fortuneswan. “None of us really revisited the track after we made it. I laid a hook idea that I had for 4 days and ended up forgetting about it entirely until we threw it together in this pack of demos to send over to HBO. Not knowing what they would pick, they ended up choosing something that all shocked us, in a good way of course.” Eventually the ecstatic song was featured on the Emmy®-winning HBO drama series Euphoria Season 2. While Eric no longer has to record on an XBox USB microphone out of his bedroom and he’s finally met a few more of his best friends in real life, not a whole lot else has changed. The formula is still the same, and as he continues to release music his forthcoming project will show, Eric’s next work will be his best yet.

KBCO 97.3 Presents Sara Kays w/ Hayd

KBCO 97.3 Presents Sara Kays with Hayd on Tuesday, June 14th –Sara Kays is like the one friend you have who actually listens and watches as much as shespeaks. For the most part, her life is “quiet.” Her free time consists of hanging out with herbrother and mother, playing soccer with her friends, and frequenting thrift shops. She loveswarm beanies and also doesn’t understand “why people don’t eat croutons like chips.” Whenshe does get “loud,” everybody else listens just as intently. She’s unassumingly built a raptaudience of 2 million followers across social media platforms, gathered hundreds of millions ofstreams, and received acclaim from Billboard, People, BuzzFeed, American Songwriter, Flaunt,FLOOD and more. Observations, thoughts, and truths straight from the Notes app on her phoneinform diary-style stories often upheld by not much more than gentle acoustic guitar, softukulele, and a keyboard murmur. In 2021, the Nashville-based solo singer and songwritermakes a heart-to-heart connection on her Struck By Lightning EP [Atlantic Records] and moremusic on the horizon.After getting her first guitar at the age of twelve, she cut her teeth by busking for hours on endthroughout high school. She performed staples such as “Champagne Supernova” by Oasis andElvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love With You.” Personally, she drew on influences asdiverse as A Day To Remember, Mayday Parade, Panic! At The Disco, Alec Benjamin, JakeBugg, and Kacey Musgraves. In 2018, she linked up with producer Steven Martinez online andheaded from her hometown in Indiana to Nashville to start recording with him. She releasedsingles such as “Rich Boy” and “Down Low” and cultivated an intensely engaged and supportiveaudience – now nearing 2 million followers on TikTok – by being disarmingly raw abouteverything from body image to mental health.In 2020, her Camera Shy EP racked up over 100 million streams on the strength of fan favoritessuch as “Chosen Last,” “Smaller Than This,” and “Home For The Summer.” On its heels, sheposted a clip of “Remember That Night” on TikTok during November—it exploded to the tune of3 million views. Now, the official audio has eclipsed 200 million global streams. Meanwhile, shecrashed the Rolling Stone “Breakthrough 25” chart, earned her first Top 10 on any Billboardchart, and made her national television debut with a performance on The Late Show withStephen Colbert. People named her one of the “Talented Emerging Artists Making Their Markon the Musical Landscape,” Billboard profiled her in its “Emerging Artists Spotlight” and HuffPostpredicted she “may soon be one of pop music’s breakout stars.” However, everything only setthe stage for Struck By Lightning which she announced along with her first internationalheadline tour for Fall 2021 in addition to supporting Mt. Joy in the states and Cavetown in the UK. “I’m from Indiana, and somebody I’m close to moved south where there’s warmer weather,” sheexplains. “I’m saying I wish you would’ve chosen me essentially over the heat.”It’s this sort of honesty that makes Sara such a relatable anomaly.“When you listen to me, I hope you relate to a song, or maybe it comforts you,” she leaves off.“I’m always really humbled if that happens.”
