Somebody Someone

Sat, Apr 26

Join us for a live taping and listening-room concert for Somebody Someone! Aubrey Hays - Piano/Vocals Ben Dubois - Electric/Acoustic Guitar Jeff Olsen - Drums Somebody Someone is an alt-pop artist based in Austin, TX. Their songs invite listeners to ponder identity, belonging, and the fluidity of reality -- or just get hooked on a perfect pop chorus. Somebody Someone grew up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in a music-oriented household. They frequently visited New Orleans and were exposed to new music constantly. From growing up listening to the oldies station awash in the timeless harmonies of The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and The Mamas & The Papas to perusing their audiophile father’s expansive record collection, they pursued and explored new sound worlds and landscapes incessantly. Their love for music spans across genres and eras and throughout their life they’ve immersed themself in sonic washes that would eventually seep into the music they create. With a fortuitous move to Austin, they jumped feet-first into the music world. Their love for music brought them to singing lead for a party band, DJing, performing in their prior project, and eventually to their current Pokémon evolution under the moniker Somebody Someone. The past year was a profound turning point for the artist, marked by challenges related to health, gender identity, and a deeper understanding of their neurodivergence. Accompanied by a visually stunning music video, "Better" marks a significant chapter in the artist's journey, embracing their identity as a non-binary, neurodivergent individual and celebrating the autonomy that comes with self-discovery. It’s a journey that brought them from performing with their family band back in Gulfport, Mississippi to music mecca Austin, Texas as well as becoming a Tiny Desk Contest Top Shelf finalist.
