CMU Music’s first guest artist of the 2021-22 season is the vocal pop duo Outcalls. The “electronic opera queens” from Baltimore will perform in the Moss Performing Arts Center Love Recital Hall on Tuesday, October 12 at 7:30pm.
Led by Britt Olsen-Ecker and Melissa Wimbish, both classically-trained musicians, Outcalls creates genre-defying pop music that counters the tired narratives pervading much of today’s popular songs. Their compelling live shows feature melodic and harmonic surprises, “art-pop” songs with a cinematic quality and unconventional band arrangements. The duo's 2018 single "Keep Falling Over" was voted the #1 Song of 2018 by 89.7 WTMD radio listeners in Baltimore. Outcalls has toured throughout the United States and Canada. They have opened for national acts such as Wolf Parade, Chicano Batman, Khruangbin, Robyn Hitchcock, Y La Bamba, San Fermin, Bent Knee, and paris_monster. Their forthcoming album is due out this fall.
