How People Meet

Three longtime friends — Austin Reese, Jack Kearney, and Timothy Kennedy — first joined forces as a trio in 2023 under the name How People Meet, after years playing together in Aunt Ange. The group operates as a fully collaborative unit: each member brings distinctive skills to the table, sharing responsibility for songwriting and production. Their music builds thick, immersive soundscapes atop carefully constructed guitar and piano foundations, bending traditional pop forms and structures. Modern and retro synth textures mingle with patient string arrangements to produce a rock sound that blurs genre lines. Arty touchstones like Tom Waits and Radiohead intersect with the mood of early ’90s classics to create something at once familiar and new.
