Kevin Atwater is a Chicago-born singer-songwriter based in New York City. Kevin started posting his music online in early 2022 and quickly built a fanbase drawn to his uniquely honest and intimate songwriting. A video of him performing his single “star tripping” was posted to TikTok in July 2022 and went viral, accumulating over 2.1 million views. Kevin continued posting his demos in full, each receiving at minimum hundreds of thousands of views and gaining the attention and support of notable artists like MUNA, Lizzy McAlpine, and Noah Kahan. Kevin released his debut EP Downers Grove on April 26, 2023, which has since garnered over 15 million streams across platforms. His follow-up single “why did you invite me to your wedding” gained significant demand from his audience on social media after several videos on TikTok reached over 3 million views collectively and has streamed over half a million times across platforms. During this time, he also spent time on the road supporting Jeremy Zucker, Leith Ross, and Searows on their tours. In 2025, Kevin released his debut albumAchilles, which garnered more than 10 million streams across all DSPs, sold out his debut headline North American tour, and premiered a short film inspired by his viral song “why did you invite me to your wedding” in New York City. 2026 is poised to be a breakout year for Kevin as he works on his second full-length project, Blush Red, coming July 10th.
•••Ruby Plume•••
Ruby Plume is an alt folk-pop artist from Nashville whose intricate storytelling and lush guitar melodies form a liminal, daydreamy musical canvas. Her vocals carry a quiet intensity, layering youthful clarity over emotional depth reminiscent of artists who defined alt-pop for a new generation. Ruby’s songs are subtly prismatic-shifting effortlessly between vivid emotions and elusive mystery, warmth and introspection.
Beyond her standout singer-songwriter talent, Ruby is a poly-artistic force, incorporating guitar finesse, imaginative illustration, and mixed-media art into her creative arsenal. These visual explorations deepen the vivid daydream that is her developing world – rounding out a creative universe that feels both tangible and dreamlike.
