houseofvans: VANS HOUSE PARTIES | JULIEN BAKER Memphis, Tennessee’s Julien Baker took the stage last night at House of Vans Chicago. The 23-year-old singer-songwriter has been a breath of fresh air to the indie rock world, with her powerful anthems of self regret and resilience. Discovering a talent for music at a young age Baker began to write her own songs while attending Middle Tennessee State University; studying audio engineering and Literature. In 2015 Julien released her first collection of songs in DIY fashion via Soundcloud. The LP, Sprained Ankle was later re-released with 6131 Records and received love from virtually every indie outlet, from NPR to Nylon. Julien’s songs addressed her struggles with addiction and depression in a shockingly open way. Sprained Ankle connected with listeners, charting on Billboard’s Heatseekers. Her most recent LP, Turn Out The Lights continues to tell the raw struggles of someone trying to find their way. Baker also found a community with singer/songwriters Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus forming boygenius in 2018. Grab tickets to see Julien Baker live this summer here.
