About this event
A fearless storyteller with an unshakable sense of self, Alana Springsteen has built her career on telling the truth, no matter how messy or hard-fought. Across high-concept projects like her three-part debut album TWENTY SOMETHING and her highly anticipated sophomore LP I HOPE THIS HELPS—a boldly autobiographical body of work due out May 29—the 25-year-old artist-songwriter has carved out a vital space for raw catharsis and unfiltered reflection. A multi-instrumentalist with an uncompromising vision, Springsteen plays guitar and piano throughout her albums and co-produces all her material, shaping each song with hands-on precision that underscores her identity as both author and architect. Rooted in country but unbound by its edges, she pulls freely from alt-pop and beyond, building a sonic world as expansive as it is emotionally exacting. Born and raised in Pungo, Virginia—a one-of-a-kind region where farmland meets beach—Springsteen's connection to music began in church, where she first found her voice as a child. By age seven, she was teaching herself guitar and writing her own songs; at ten, she began traveling to Nashville for co-writing sessions with industry heavyweights. After making her landmark debut with TWENTY SOMETHING—a 2023 release featuring her GOLD-certified smash 'goodbye looks good on you (feat. Mitchell Tenpenny)'—Springsteen earned massive praise from outlets like NPR and PEOPLE. A powerhouse live performer who commands rooms of any size, she has headlined her own TWENTY SOMETHING TOUR; performed at major festivals like Stagecoach Festival; toured internationally across Europe, the U.K., and Australia; and supported superstars like Luke Bryan, LANY, Keith Urban, and NEEDTOBREATHE. With countless milestones to her name—including her Tiny Desk debut in 2024 and a No. 1 hit with 'Hot Honey,' a collaboration with multi-platinum DJ/producer Tiësto—Springsteen's momentum is undeniable.
