Baby Wave

BIOGRAPHY

Baby Wave is a band that was built for and from their live show. The core trio, multi-instrumentalists book NOT brooke, Gardner Gottsegen, and Jakob Bibb, had been flitting between various projects around Nashville until a fateful Christmas party in 2021 pulled them together. From there, they made their name in the East Nashville DIY scene and eventually toured around the country, releasing a handful of experimental recordings along the way. The circle of artists that came up with them exists in total remove from Music Row, a tight-knit community stretched across tiny clubs like DRKMTTR and house venues like Ryman 2.

The band fully cohered a little further from home. In early 2023, a Halloween weekend of gigs in Athens, Ohio convinced the trio to spontaneously relocate north. They only stayed a few months before returning to Nashville, but the detour became crucial: writing and practicing daily, they figured out who they wanted to be, chasing a frenetic-then-beautiful, bleary-and-wild-eyed hybrid of slowcore, slacker rock, emo, and shoegaze.

Baby Wave’s debut album will be announced soon
