Sombr

He’s been called Gen Z’s rockstar heir apparent, but sombr is still, in many ways, Shane Boose, the kid who found his voice via a makeshift bedroom studio on the Lower East Side and who is, to this day, the sole writer (and co-producer) of his world-beating songs. The NYC native taught himself production and recorded by night while studying classical music and vocal performance at the prestigious, public LaGuardia High School. Now, with a sticky mix of arena pop, indie yearn, and glam charisma, he documents young love with a smoldering vulnerability and depth celebrated around the globe. In 2025, his smash single “back to friends” hit #1 on Spotify’s Global and U.S. charts, also cracking the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10. His rapid rise is also reflected in his headline tours (North America, U.K., Europe, Australia / New Zealand), which sell out instantly. sombr entered 2026 with a Best New Artist GRAMMY nod. He also released his debut album, "I Barely Know Her", co-produced by the legendary Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, The Replacements). Near-universal press raves followed, while three of the singles charted simultaneously on the Hot 100. We can't wait to see him live at Open'er - a festival full of awesome people.
