Phoebe Bridgers Bio

Phoebe Bridgers wrote her first song at age 11, spent her adolescence at open mic nights, and busked through her teenage years at farmers markets in her native Los Angeles. By age 20, she'd caught the ear of Ryan Adams, who listened to her perform her song "Killer" in his L.A. studio then invited her to come back and record it there the next day. The session blossomed into a three-song 'Killer' EP, released on his Pax-Am label last spring and praised by EW.com as "Happy but heartbreaking, Bridgers' world-weary vocal rests easy at heart center."

Throughout the past two years, Bridgers has toured with Julien Baker, City and Colour, and Violent Femmes, among others. She's played with Mitski, Television, Blake Babies and Conor Oberst.
