anni xo (they/them) is a young queer musician hailing from Minnesota who found solace in music as a means to explore their identity and embrace the complexities of life. Inspired by the likes of boygenius, Taylor Swift, and Renee Rapp, anni’s music is a refreshing blend of alternative songwriting and folk stylings that expertly convey themes of love, loss, and the struggles of youth in a post-modern landscape. With their debut project, “allergic to dogs”, anni hopes to create a sense of community and connection, particularly between those who feel ostracized by the world around them. anni xo’s music is a powerful tool for healing and empowerment, offering hope and validation to young queer people navigating a world that can often feel unwelcoming.

Inseam: Inspired by the music of Active Child, John Prine, and Black Belt Eagle Scout just to name a few, Inseam seamlessly (haha) blends folk, noir, and emo. Under the broader umbrella of indie, you’ll find Inseam weaving (haha) back and forth between moody sonic ambiguity and poignant, narrative storytelling. Inseam is a group that has a unique variety of talents and backgrounds to pull from and their music reflects that.
