**Tommy Newport** is a British-American singer crafting infectious, falsetto-laced indie anthems that blur eras and borders. Blending psych-pop shimmer, sun-soaked soul, and off-kilter cool, Newport has built a global following around his elastic melodies and unmistakable voice.
He stepped fully into his own with his latest album Mister Domino, a bold, technicolor statement released on the heels of his debut at Lollapalooza. Featuring the fan-favorite single “Tangerine”, the project captures Newport at his most expansive, balancing playful experimentation with razor-sharp songwriting. His recent singles "Nancy Dancing" and "Risky Business" signal the sound of an artist moving effortlessly with intention into his next chapter.
A magnetic live performer, Newport has toured extensively across North America and Europe and appeared on two platinum-certified releases: “Red Sky” from 21 Savage’s American Dream, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and “Comes & Goes” from BigXthaPlug’s Take Care. He has also collaborated with Grammy-nominated duo EARTHGANG and rising indie star Baby Nova.
Newport’s work has earned acclaim from The FADER, Complex, Hypebeast, Highsnobiety, Pigeons & Planes, PAPER, Lyrical Lemonade, and COLORS, with support from Zane Lowe, Elton John, and Gilles Peterson.
**Tanner Dane** is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter whose music sits at the intersection of soulful storytelling and modern indie-rock. Rooted in a lifetime of performing, he picked up his first instrument at eleven and hasn't left the stage since.
Dane is perhaps best known as the frontman of Hollyy, one of Chicago's most celebrated six-piece soul and R&B acts. Over the course of seven years, he helped build the band from a scrappy local outfit into a city staple, headlining venues like Thalia Hall and earning a devoted following drawn to their warm, layered sound. Hollyy's debut album, The Weight of This Heart, cemented the band's reputation for emotionally rich, expansive songwriting.
Alongside Hollyy, Dane has steadily built a solo career that stands fully on its own. His 2025 Pull Tabs EP, released via Easy Does It Records, showcases the sound he's been honing: introspective lyricism wrapped in lush, soulful production drawing from the classic soul of Nina Simone alongside the textured modern styles of Still Woozy and Hozier. The record explores the tender, uncertain space of trying to love someone while still figuring yourself out — honest, a little vulnerable, and deeply human.
With new music on the horizon and dates on the road, Tanner Dane is one of Chicago's most compelling voices, equally at home fronting a full band or standing alone at a microphone.
