Yeah – we know Sundance is over. But the music and the artists that came out of The Sundance Film Festival this year are far from it. In fact, most of them are just getting their start in the music industry. Here’s a list of the top 5 up-and-coming artists to watch for this year:
-Dylan Gardner
This kid (literally, he’s 18) is awesome. He’s a talented singer/songwriter who just signed with Warner Brothers and just released a single “Let’s Get Started.” He’s also starting a tour early this year – definitely one to watch.
-Baskery
This group of Swedish sisters has been performing together since they were teenagers. Their sound is admittedly a little blue grassy – but not to be confused with country. They’ve been said to have an exhaustible energy and super unique sound.
-Rainey Qualley
This new singer’s sound is described as “a hint of country, a touch of blues” and that’s pretty dead on. She is releasing a new album this spring so keep an eye out for it!
-The Family Crest
This band is called “Family” because it’s made of seven core members. However, in most their music, they have nearly 100 other music influences helping them out – and it’s amazing. In order to recruit people for their songs, they advertised everywhere… even Craigslist.
-John Fullbright
This guy started a few years back in a small Oklahoma band but has branched off and has been doing great things since (including Sundance!). In fact, his first studio album received a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album. Check. Him. Out.
So, whether you’re a music junkie or not, at least you know where these gems got their start.
