Introducing our featured musical guest for august reverie – ABOUT YOU!

After years of receiving stories from friends, fans, and total strangers, About You has adapted these stories into songs found on their debut album. Outfitting themselves with old guitars, 808’s, and a rich study of music, About You is forging a musical path all their own to bring these stories to you. Los Angeles-based indie rock 5-piece led by Max Poscente, About You is a 2x winner of the International Songwriting Competition, surpassed 1.4M+ streams across platforms, sold out shows covering the US (Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Dallas), and has received international press (New Noise, Earmilk, Ones to Watch, Louder Than War, NBC, etc.).

Don’t Wait on this Night to Remember!

Space is limited and this will sell out quickly—secure your ticket now and join us for an evening where the line between artist and audience disappears.
