Morningsidersare a NYC folk-pop act known for their unique indie music that bridges the gap between virtuosic, intimate live moments and gorgeously atmospheric studio-produced pop song prowess. Having met and formed at Columbia University, the three co-founders -Magnus Ferguson, vocals/guitar; Reid Jenkins, fiddle/vocals; and Robert Frech, piano -have evolved from an Americana collective comprised of rotating members and improvisatory performances into today’s guitar-fiddle-piano trio more focused on song craft and production.First making a name for themselves on a national level when their song “Empress” topped Spotify’s Viral 50 in 2015 and was featured in a Starbucks commercial featuring Oprah Winfrey, the band released a song each month throughout 2018 and 2019 (releasing the lot as their debut LP, A Little Lift) then branched out from their acoustic roots for the folk-rock driven sophomore album, Pollen, in 2020.And now, with their June 2022 album I’ve Got a Song produced by the celebrated maestro Peter Katis, the trio are set to expand their reach while still retaining the moments of brilliant musicianship and quirky sonic maneuvering that first earned them notice. The first four songs of the album were released as an EP called “Easy Does It” in October, givingfans a glimpse of the careful production and acoustic textures that are at the heart of the groups’ sound.

Rising singer-songwriter and New York City via Nashville transplant, Allie Dunn believed her path was initially to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a doctor. She was at college learning biology but in her sophomore year, she took a leap of faith to pursue her musical dreams. She was ironically then discovered by her manager, while she was working at an optometrists office at the time during his eye surgery. After learning she was a musician and hearing her demos, he decided to manage her immediately after.   Dunn has always drawn inspiration from the Laurel Canyon classic folk pop singer songwriters she has admired her whole life, from discovering the Eagles via her parents record collection in her teenage bedroom to listening to her records over and over in her dorm room in New York City, finding the courage to make the leap into being a full time musician and leave a potential fulfilling a stable career option behind.   Since she has become a go-to songwriter for up-and-coming artists in Nashville and now with her upcoming EP “Good As Gone,” Dunn makes her singer-songwriter solo debut, with an expertly crafted, fully realized work that blends sounds across heartland rock, modern Americana and Nashville’s own brand of radio-ready pop country. Dunn may be a Nashville transplant, but after just a short time in Music City she’s already a force leaving her mark.
