Catch sombr at the Ogden Theatre on October 20th!

Shane became sombr via a make-shift recording studio in his bedroom. The now 19-year-old Lower East Side native honed his talents at New York’s LaGuardia High, the public performing arts school celebrated for inspiring the film Fame, spending his days studying classical music and late nights dabbling in young romance, skateboarding, and generally getting into trouble.

His song “Caroline” became a sad girl anthem, taking the internet by storm. “Caroline”was self-produced, self-written and self-released when sombr was just 16 and has since been streamed on Spotify over 40 million times.

Sombr has continued to drop EPs and singles ever since, and is now streaming consistently over 2 million per day. His songs “would’ve been you”, “do I ever cross your mind” and his latest single “back to friends” have become indie-rock hits. It’s the kind of trajectory that feels once in a generation. Between his remarkable aural instincts and an insatiability for experimenting with new sounds, sombr exudes staying power. This became more evident during his headline 2024 North American tour. Concert Chronicles stated, “sombr did not disappoint, delivering a performance that was both mesmerizing and electrifying” of his live show.
