Things look different around here. Explore your revamped TuneCore

Artist Breakdown: TuneCore Live at Bardot 8/21

August 18, 2015

While we were thrilled to announce the inaugural TuneCore Live Brooklyn, you didn’t think we were abandoning our 2015 post at the lovely Bardot in Hollywood, did you?! We’re back and at it this Friday, August 21st with the help of our buddies Swisher Sweets and CeleBuzz.

Per usual, the event is 21+, free and doors are at 8pm. And per usual, this thing is gonna fill up, so get there early! We’ll be serving up drinks, dancing and, of course, awesome independent music from the TuneCore artist community. Tune in and learn more about this month’s line-up below, and once you’re done having your mind blown, head over to our Facebook Event to RSVP!

Phoebe Bridgers

Getting your EP recorded and being compared to Bob Dylan by Ryan Adams aren’t things that every indie artist gets the chance to brag about. TuneCore Artist Phoebe Bridgers can claim both! The indie-folk singer has been impressing many with her latest beautiful collection of songs, Killer, which was released on Adams’ Pax-Am imprint. Be sure to hear the title track from that EP below.

TuneCore has helped build a community of musicians that otherwise wouldn’t be able to distribute their music in a way that suits them creatively. I’m stoked to be a part of it.

Matt Costa

Southern California-native Matt Costa was an injury away from going pro as a skateboarder before even turning 20. Having taught himself as a teen, he began releasing EPs and albums, soon finding himself supporting huge artists like Modest Mouse and Oasis, hitting major festivals like Coachella, and even landing a track on the smash film ‘I Love You, Man’! Matt writes and records thoughtful folk tunes, and you can hear a track from his latest EP, Cat Mosta, (via TuneCore), below.

Casey Hurt

Having originally followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, Casey Hurt is an ex-baptist preacher who began playing guitar in the very church he grew up in. Since leaving the church behind him, he’s gone on to win the ISC International Songwriting Competition for the blues and has had sync placements in shows such as ‘Criminal Minds’, ‘Parenthood’, and ‘Pretty Little Liars’. Hurt has an exciting new voice and you can hear it on his song “Mary Mary” below.

TuneCore has played a huge part in my musical career. They’ve given me a chance to send my music all across the world. To reach fans I never thought I could. I’ve always felt like TuneCore had my back and could keep up with whatever the next step was in my musical career.
