> Rorie:
>
> Rorie is a singer-songwriter, crafting music that
> tells stories of heartache and hope. With poetic
> lyrics and emotive vocals, Rorie’s songs are
> ethereal, yet grounded in reality. She transports
> listeners to other worlds while tugging at the
> heartstrings of what it means to be human. Her
> journey began at an early age while singing and
> playing piano and guitar with her church choir.
> She grew up filling notebook after notebook with
> lyrics, and slowly found the confidence to begin
> sharing those songs outside the walls of her
> bedroom. The vision solidified while working for
> an anti-human trafficking organization in NYC. She
> wrote a song inspired by her time there, and
> launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to
> record the song and film a powerful music video
> that raises awareness about this important issue.
> “This song was a turning point for me. I knew
> that telling stories through music was something
> that I absolutely needed to do, and was ready to
> take the jump.”
>
> Soon after, Rorie released two EPs: ‘Singing &
> Silence’ and ‘Dawn,’ which were featured in
> the iTunes singer-songwriter New Artist Spotlight,
> and reached top 10 in the iTunes Singer-Songwriter
> charts. During this time, she collaborated with
> producers such as Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens,
> Andrew Belle), Tommee Profitt (NF), and opened for
> artists such as Charlotte Martin, Josh Garrels,
> Elise Trouw, and more while also playing
> headlining shows with her band around the East
> Coast and partnering with brands such as
> Anthropologie.
>
> Rorie is now preparing to release her debut Full
> Length Album, ‘Valley in the Mirror,’ in
> January 2020. With honest songs written everywhere
> from her living room to the emergency room, the
> album is the most holistic picture of Rorie’s
> artistry to date. “The lyrics on this record all
> trace back to specific experiences that have taken
> place over the last few years. I wrote this album
> alone in my apartment, and many times through
> tears.” It’s not a sad album though, but full
> of hope and stories about life and being brave.
> “I want listeners to hear these songs and take a
> second glance at life, relationships, and faith.
> We can so often become apathetic and afraid to
> feel. Through this music I am saying that it is ok
> to go deeper and ‘look again.’”
>
> The music is a vibrant mixture of synth-pop energy
> and singer-songwriter authenticity. While the
> subject matter is deep, you may also find yourself
> wanting to dance. The album was funded by another
> successful Kickstarter Campaign, and was produced
> in Brooklyn, Nashville, and LA with Chris Cubeta,
> Gary Atturio, Jordan Sapp, and Charlotte Martin.
> Rorie plans to tour in support of the new album
> during 2020.

> A Ten Year Echo. For ten years Ryan has kept these
> songs a secret but has recently decided that it is
> time to share them with the public. The album will
