About AJR
As brothers and as a band, AJR — Adam, Jack, and Ryan Met — complement one another in perfect harmony on and off-stage. This harmony courses through their inimitable, irresistible and imaginative alternative pop uplifted by expansive vision, epic instrumentation and the kind of hooks you can’t shake. It’s why the group has generated billions of streams across triple-platinum smashes “Bang!” and “Weak” as well as the double-platinum “Burn The House Down” and platinum singles “100 Bad Days,” “Sober Up” and “I’m Ready.” It’s why they’ve landed back-to-back Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 with Neotheater [2019] and OK Orchestra [2021]. It’s why they consistently sell out arenas with their Broadway-worthy live show. It’s why (like something out of a movie) they made the jump from their living room to late-night television. It’s why they’ve quietly stretched the boundaries and definition of what popular music can be in 2022 and continue to do so with the recent release of “I Won’t” off their forthcoming full-length debut for AJR Productions/Mercury Records/ Republic Records.
About Chelsea Cutler
Instantly relatable lyrics and handcrafted lo-fi soundscapes have established Chelsea Cutler as a quiet, yet disruptive, force for popular music. Within a few short years, the singer, songwriter, and producer went from bedroom-constructed uploads to 2 billion-plus cumulative streams and acclaim from Billboard, Variety, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, E! News, PAPER Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, UPROXX, Consequence, HYPEBAE, L’Officiel and more. In 2017, her breakthrough single “Your Shirt” paved the way for her debut EP, Snow In October. Leaving college shortly after, she hit the road alongside Quinn XCII at the top of 2018 before kicking off a prolific string of releases, including the independently released mixtapes Sleeping with Roses and Sleeping with Roses II, leading to two completely sold-out nationwide headline tours in 2018 and 2019 and appearances at Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and more. Signing to Republic Records in 2019, she uncovered undeniable chemistry with Jeremy Zucker on the collaborative brent EP, which spawned the platinum single “you were good to me.” Honing her style further, she unveiled her 2020 debut album, How To Be Human, featuring the breakout single “Sad Tonight.” Bringing the new music to fans across the country, she launched the sold-out “How To Be Human Tour” in early 2020, highlighted by two consecutive sellouts at Terminal 5 in New York City. In 2021, she reteamed with Zucker on the brent ii EP and notched another fan favorite anthem with “this is how you fall in love.” Along the way, the likes of Quinn XCII, Louis The Child, The Band CAMINO and Noah Kahan all teamed up with her for collaborations. In between, she lit up television with performances on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” and “Today,” and she hit the road with Quinn XCII on their co-headline “Stay Next To Me Tour.” Most recently, Cutler kicked off her latest chapter with her sophomore album, When I Close My Eyes, out now. Following the critically acclaimed release, she embarked on her “When I Close My Eyes Tour” and made her debut performance at Coachella.
