Like the Highwaymen, Temple of the Dog, and Traveling Wilburys, boygenius is a phenomenon that has transcended their "supergroup" title. Singer-songwriters Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus braid their talents together into a cohesive unit that thrives on harmonies, storytelling, and genuine friendship. Their debut album, The Record, effortlessly glides between acapella hymns ("Without You Without Them"), fuzzy alt-rock ("$20"), and emotive indie folk ("Cool About It"). But the real magic comes when this trio performs live—it's clear from their internet presence that they actually enjoy being on tour (have you seen them smooch on stage??) Their love and admiration for each other is palpable. Plus, now that queer icon/pop poet laureate Carly Rae Jepsen is fresh off her Pride Month circuit, she's jumping on some boygenius tour dates to support her latest album, The Loneliest Time. LA-based "tenderpunk" band Illuminati Hotties will get the show started.
