Sea Stars

The music of Katie Gray and Kurt Baumann, collectively known as Sea Stars, is a mood to be experienced.  Heartfelt and somber, mysterious and haunting, uplifting and hopeful… these are but a few words that often swim around the room to define the music the two singers and songwriters invoke.  

Kurt and Katie enjoy working both together and apart in their musical adventures.  Katie (www.katiegray.com) has been a guest vocal with groups such as Band of Horses (live on Jimmy Kimmel), Nightmares on Wax, Ani Difranco and Random Rab, while Kurt enjoys to focus primarily on recording and performing with his band The Burned (www.theburnedmusic.com).
Most recently the two were featured on NBC’s The Today Show with Hoda Kotb performing their duet “Time” live.

 

Sorne

“In the 45 years I have lived in LA, it’s the best thing I have ever seen.”
– Jay Levin, Founder of LA Weekly

A multi-disciplinary, award-winning, prolific visual artist, musician, actor and filmmaker, boasting an unparalleled vocal range with perfect pitch. Sorne brings listeners to tears with his angelic falsetto, and churns crowds into a writhing frenzy with his other-worldly sound.

Sorne has been featured in Rolling Stone magazine’s top 50 finds at South By Southwest in 2015 and Art in America for the 2009 Texas Biennial. He has performed and shown his work at some of the most prestigious venues in America and Europe, winning over the hearts and minds of audiences at Art Basel Miami, Irving Plaza in New York and Ableton’s LOOP conference in Berlin.

Having performed on the stage since the age of three, Sorne has passionately pursued his career at all levels, earning a BFA in studio art, and has achieved the critical acclaim of noteworthy musicians and creative titans of the performing arts. To date, he has received Avant Garde Artist of the Year by the Austin Music Awards, successfully funded and fulfilled a Kickstarter for his epic, six-album opera, House of Stone, currently developing a new live experience with Dolby and illustrating a 200-page graphic novel with actor, poet and musician Saul Williams entitled “Martyr Loser King” to be released internationally through First:Second Books in 2019.
