IAN SWEET

IAN SWEET has been the source of and solution to many of Jilian Medford’s deepest anxieties. Medford processes these anxieties by pushing herself to experiment with new musical directions that inspire her, while digging for raw honesty and emotional depth that show through her lyrics. On the latest album, SUCKER, Medford delivers the strongest and most personal batch of songs she’s ever written - brimming with despair, vulnerability, and remorse. “I’m a sucker for the pain and the heartbreak,” she sings on standout “SUCKER,” which features woozy synth lines and droney guitar work that touches on themes of uncertainty. The album showcases Medford’s ability to craft beautiful pop songs that tug at your heartstrings while at the same time, busting wide open with layers of lush synths and overblown guitars. These songs are full of heartache and longing - a sadness Medford addresses head-on in what is undeniably her best album to date.

ALLIE SANDT

Allie Sandt is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in northern NJ who strives to combine 70s-inspired sounds with energetic live performances. At 22 years old, she pockets tips from the likes of Paul Simon, Lizzy McAlpine, and Fleetwood Mac to write feel-good folk-rock melodies with tongue-in-cheek lyricism that speaks to all generations. Allie was the primary songwriter, singer, and bassist in the now-disbanded indie rock band Seeing Double. With the band’s 5+ million streams online, she fronted the group throughout the East Coast playing at notable venues such as The Mercury Lounge, The Bitter End, and Pearl Street Warehouse and opened for various acts including HUNNY, Melt, Charlie Burg, Brooke Alexx and more. Allie’s debut single “The Flood” is out now.
