Smoke Season was formed in early 2013 by Gabrielle Wortman and Jason Rosen. Combining their musical backgrounds, the duo created their own unique take on Americana, infusing folk with electronic undertones and rich vocal harmonies.
Smoke Season catapulted into must-know status during their impressive August residency at Los Angeles’ acclaimed venue, the Echoplex. Their performances were hailed in the press by LA Weekly, Los Angeles Magazine, Buzzbands LA, Radio Free Silver Lake, Free Bike Valet, Grimy Goods & more.
Their sophomore EP, Hot Coals Cold Souls, released July 29, 2014, pulls mood-building tricks from country, R&B, dancy indie, chillwave, and more, according to Independent Clauses.
Smoke Season began in 2013 with a self-produced debut EP, Signals, and a self-directed music video for their first single, “Soleil.” They have been steadily touring, showcasing their music around the country and most notably at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.
