Phoebe Bridgers

On April 17, 2016, Phoebe Bridgers performed 'Wilt' live at Daytrotter, showcasing her emotionally charged songwriting and distinctive voice. At this point in her career, she had recently released her debut album, 'Stranger in the Alps,' just months prior, in September 2017. This album really put her on the indie map, with tracks like 'Motion Sickness' resonating deeply with listeners due to their raw vulnerability and storytelling. Interestingly, during this time, Bridgers was gaining recognition not only for her solo work but also for her collaborations with artists like Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus, hinting at the blossoming 'Boygenius' collective. Her performance at Daytrotter captures that early essence of Bridgers—a musician on the cusp of something great, whose heartfelt songwriting would soon win over a much larger audience.
