Austin, TX, USA

Hallo (pronounced Hollow) is a cozy pop rock band that hails from the weird and hot-as-hell city of Austin, Texas. Inspired by the disorientation caused by life, Hallo’s music considers the struggles of being used, disowned, and shamed. It’s a tender exploration through the tough realities of getting older, losing friends, and constantly feeling disconnected, all while trying to observe the beauty in finding your own worth. Each song is an intimate look inside the highly sensitive and easily wounded heart. Armed with a handful of disposable and expired personal ‘ov-chipkaarten,’ Tiana Stuart packed the songs she wrote while living in Amsterdam (2016-2019) and moved back to the States where she continued to write music. Performing only twice under the name, Darwood, Tiana and her band shared a bill with Fastball and The Bright Light Social Hour right before the pandemic struck.
