Soda Blonde is a four-piece alt-pop band from Dublin, Ireland, formed in 2019 by Faye O’Rourke (vocals), Adam O’Regan (guitar/keys), Donagh Seaver-O’Leary (bass), and Dylan Lynch (drums). The group emerged from the ashes of critically acclaimed indie rock outfit Little Green Cars, moving toward a bolder, more cinematic and emotionally charged sound that blends evocative lyrics with adventurous production.
Their music traverses the tension between introspection and ambition, pairing O’Rourke’s distinctive, expressive vocals with genre-defying arrangements that draw comparisons to synth-infused art-pop and emotionally honest songwriting. Soda Blonde’s debut single, “Swimming Through the Night,” immediately marked a stylistic shift for the members, establishing the band’s commitment to cinematic hooks and atmospheric grooves.
Opening the night, Lucas Lusher is a Boston-based alternative folk and soft indie rock singer-songwriter. Though his musical path only began in his late teens, Lusher spent his undergraduate years at Berklee College of Music, becoming not only an academically-respected lyricist but also a guitar-based multi-instrumentalist and producer. With a family background from Hong Kong and New Zealand, Lusher utilizes his unique international upbringing by combining personal experience with global musical influence to create truly individual art.
