Marielle Kraft w/ Emma Klein + Sophia Eliana
Lost Lake Presents Marielle Kraft with Emma Klein and Sophia Eliana on Sunday, October 8th. When you hear Marielle Kraft’s music or experience her candid live shows, you feel as though you already know her. The indie pop singer/songwriter, now based in Nashville, displays craftsmanship beyond her years, following suit to artists like Shawn Mendes, Maisie Peters, and Taylor Swift. Self-taught, the Rhode Island native began playing guitar at 16 and soon writing songs that strike chords with listeners everywhere. Her gift for storytelling is evident through her use of salient detail, raw emotion, and poignant word choice to describe moments “exactly as they feel.” Over the past few years, Marielle Kraft has self-released two original EPs, including eight singles, and four official music videos. Kraft’s 2017 debut single, “How Far You Feel,” has collected over 1 million streams across platforms. The indie pop breakout track seeks to understand the dichotomy of physical vs. emotional distance in relationships, brilliantly expressing “what many feel but cannot find the right words to say.” Marielle Kraft’s debut studio EP, “The Deep End” officially released on July 12th, 2019, featuring fan-favorite tracks like “Toothbrush” and “Better Without You”. Kraft’s first effort is notably strong both lyrically and sonically, described by The Music Mermaid as “song after song of mini pop addictions.” Marielle Kraft regularly plays at venues across the United States, sharing stages with names as big as Jon McLaughlin, Ava Max, and Betty Who. She presents her live shows as a seamless narrative: evocative yet encouraging, deeply reflective yet refreshing. The raw authenticity with which Marielle invites listeners into her story cultivates a relationship with them beyond the song, as she is known to “bring together a room full of strangers.” Her “winning personality,” “genuine connection”,” and “gift for story telling” on stage have fueled the ever-growing crowds at each of her shows, with no signs of slowing down. In 2021, Marielle Kraft released 4 singles, each of which found major traction on TikTok before becoming fully studio produced releases. “Everyone But Me” (February 19th), “We Were Never Friends” (March 24th), and “Second Coffee” (July 19th) feature a more developed sound than seen from Marielle before, while her latest collaboration with Charlie Brennan called “Sidelines” (October 29th) reached Spotify’s “Fresh Finds” and Apple Music’s “Breaking Singer/Songwriter” playlists. Kraft’s sophomore EP “Heartspace” landed on September 30th, with lead singles “Shrink” (April 8th) and “I Kissed A Boy” (May 19th) already marking this as her most captivating work to date. A nearly sold-out headlining fall tour accompanies this highly anticipated release, with much more to come from this budding singer-songwriter. Since leaving her full-time teaching career to pursue a life committed to creating music, Marielle Kraft has promise to follow suit to artists like Julia Michaels and Maisie Peters as the burgeoning artist makes an impact in the indie pop scene. With more new releases on the way, Kraft is on track for an even bigger 2023. – 16+, under 16 admitted with ticketed guardian
105.5 The Colorado Sound presents Alex Lahey w/ Liza Anne
105.5 The Colorado Sound Presents Alex Lahey with Liza Anne on Saturday, May 27 — “Living in a world that wasn’t made for you makes you pretty strong and adaptive, and you find the fun in it,” says Alex Lahey. “It also makes you realize how absurd everything is. With ‘The Answer Is Always Yes,’ I wanted to get weird because the world is weird, and it’s even weirder when you realize you don’t fit into it all the time.” It’s no secret that the world wasn’t built with most people in mind. For those who exist on the fringe, you learn to pave your own way, foster your own community, and create your own joy. As a queer person and a daughter of migrants, Lahey learned how to adapt to a world that wasn’t made for her, and her third album, The Answer Is Always Yes, examines how she finds comfort in the discomfort, whether it’s reveling in absurdity or turning towards exploration. Lahey’s debut album I Love You Like a Brother and its 2019 follow-up The Best of Luck Club take their focus from the lens of relationships, but with The Answer Is Always Yes, Lahey analyzes her otherness through different lenses, from its isolating effect to the surrealism and humor it instills. “Congratulations” is about the strange experience of having two exes get married separately in a short time span, “The Sky Is Melting” revels in the chaos of consuming too many weed gummies, and the title track jokes about the immortality complex of hybrid drivers. Lahey also delves into intense experiences on tracks like “Permanent,” which juxtaposes the accelerating gentrification of her native Melbourne with the regression she felt while living in her childhood home during the pandemic, or “They Wouldn’t Let Me In,” Lahey’s first song mining the depths of her queer teenage years. “All these kids around me were kissing and dating and having those formative experiences and talking about them with each other, and I felt so on the fringe because I didn’t fit into that,” Lahey says of the track. “When I was growing up, there was no exposure to queerness, or certainly queer joy, in media. When you can’t see that, you don’t really know what your life’s gonna look like. And especially when you’re a teenager, for me, I was like, ‘Am I ever gonna get laid?’” Just as Lahey learned to reimagine the world around her, the music of The Answer Is Always Yes is also the product of reimagination. After making a name for herself with heartfelt, witty, and energizing indie rock songs, Lahey felt she had accrued tried and true songwriting tricks. Instead of resting on her laurels, Lahey took a risk by inviting other writers and producers into the early stages of her creative process for the first time. With touring on hold indefinitely, Lahey didn’t have a strict deadline to finish the album, which lent plenty of time for writing sessions with the likes of Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol) and others. – 16+, under 16 admitted with ticketed guardian

Kid Smoko w/ + Ultra + May Be Fern
Lost Lake Presents Kid Smoko with + Ultra and May Be Fern on Friday, August 19 — In 2019, five childhood friends from New Jersey came together to form Kid Smoko, a genre blending band that combines elements of indie, pop, hip-hop, punk, and electronic music. Through releasing breakthrough left-pop singles such as “Tommy Boy”, “Come With Me” and “Can’t Hear” they cultivated a growing fanbase and started performing across the country, recently playing sold out shows at Elsewhere (Brooklyn), Philamoca (Philly), and The Venice West (Los Angeles). The sound and style of the band’s music is a product of the eclectic and varying tastes of each 5 members, and no two songs of theirs can be put in the same box. Having just relocated to Los Angeles, they are putting everything they have into making it happen.- 16+, under 16 admitted with ticketed guardian
