S. CAREY - AN EARLY BIRD

"In his solo career outside of Bon Iver, S. Carey has crafted a tranquil vision of the natural world."

S. Carey is the moniker of Eau Claire, Wisconsin-based multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Sean Carey, commonly recognized as the drummer, backing vocalist, and second-longest serving member of Bon Iver. Over the past decade, Carey has fostered his flourishing solo career via themes of nature and sustainability, songwriting built from jazz beginnings, and heartfelt, emotive lyricism. His latest and fourth album, Break Me Open, adds to a discography of three full-length releases, two EPs, and countless collaborations.

As S. Carey developed his songwriting and producing talents, he was commissioned by Will Arnett to write the track "Rose Petals" for his Netflix series Flaked, co-wrote "Hold The Light" with Dierks Bentley for feature-length film Only The Brave, contributed to Sufjan Stevens' album Carrie & Lowell, and has produced for and written with the likes of Low, Mike Kinsella, Pieta Brown, and Ed Tullett of Novo Amor. Carey and his adept band of longtime friends and collaborators celebrate their 12th year of touring everywhere from international headline shows to intimate living room performances to theater stages.

AN EARLY BIRD

With his whispery vocals, heartfelt lyrics and five albums to her name, alternative folk artist An Early Bird has also amassed a wealth of live experience across Europe: from small clubs to big stages and opening for the likes of Fink, Wallis Bird, David Keenan, Sophia and Jake Bugg. His latest album, 'A Beautiful Waste Of Time', consists of eight songs about the importance of the journey itself rather than the final destination. Simple things that we might think are futile, but which can bring meaning to life.
