What is an Emerging Artist?
We consider an emerging artist to be a performer with an established audience from their region and in some big cities through regional or national touring. These artists are still building their fan base in secondary and tertiary markets (like Portsmouth, NH).
Some emerging artists we’ve recently welcomed to The Music Hall include Carly Pearce, Brandy Clark & Hayes Carl, Madison Cunningham, Nolan Taylor, Chris Pierce, Amythyst Kiah, Smithfield, The Wellermen, Haley Reinhart, and much more!
Haley Heynderickx & The Westerlies
With crushingly intimate songwriting, and raw, immersive vocals, the Portland-based singer-songwriter defies music categorization.
Brandy Clark & Hayes Carll
Grammy-nominated singer-songwriters, Brandy Clark and Hayes Carll, have written award-winning songs performed by music legends like Brandi Carlile, Alicia Keys, and Kenny Chesney.
Madison Cunningham & Juana Molina
This double bill featured the soulful folk melodies of a fresh-faced Grammy-winner and the experimental soundscapes of an experienced musician with a storied career in the industry.
Haley Reinhart • The Lounge
The double platinum-certified singer-songwriter electrified The Lounge for two nights with her empowering level of charisma, quiet confidence, and a timeless voice that outlasts eras.
Bandits on the Run • The Lounge
The Brooklyn-based folk group formed while busking in the subways of New York City and have since grown to work with producers of some of the biggest artists in the scene.
Nat Zegree
Nat Zegree has taken our audiences on a musical journey like no other, charting the development of rock ‘n’ roll in the 1940s and 50s; dove deep into the classic and recognizable holiday songs of our time; and continues to present live shows that educate and entertain.
