Anna McClellan (Insta | Bandcamp | Spotify)

Anna McClellan’s childhood summers were spent in front of the TV, cementing a love of narrative that would later reveal itself through songwriting. By seventeen, Anna McClellan was performing original songs in her hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. Her debut album, Fire Flames, garnered attention and earned her an opening slot on a Frankie Cosmos tour, setting the stage for her subsequently adored albums, 2018’s Yes and No and I saw first light, released in late 2020. Now, with her forthcoming fourth album Electric Bouquet, McClellan crafts a musical journey that unfolds like one of her cherished television series.

Each track is an episode, chronicling the past four years of her life – navigating electrician school, a cross-country move, and relationships gone sour. Electric Bouquet showcases McClellan's ability to transform life's myriad experiences into captivating musical stories. Recorded in multiple sessions in Baltimore, MD and Omaha and co-produced with long-time collaborator Ryan McKeever and Another Recording Company Studios engineer Adam Roberts, Electric Bouquet shifts seamlessly between piano-driven melodies and guitar-anchored anthems, each song a miniature universe slowly opening unto itself.

The band has featured a cast of different musicians, currently Garrett Linck on bass, and long-time drummer Alex Decato. Hello Shark's music is characterized most by its honest and melancholic nature of Halloran's writing, often skirting the boundaries between hope and regret, love and heartbreak. After an 8-year break from releasing new material, Hello Shark returns with "You Were Right," the second track on their yet-to-be-announced 6 song EP, and a 10-year Anniversary tour for their record "HS
