Under The Rock Presents: Deer Fellow and Caroline Hale

Deer Fellow is a massive talent, a unique indie pop/folk duo with “comforting yet bold musicality.” Austin-based bandmates Matt Salois (guitar, vocals) and Alyssa Kelly (violin, vocals, keys) have built a cross-genre sound that “stirs hearts with each carefully crafted note.” Their lyrics are deep, meaningful, yet catchy and relatable. As cited in East Side, “Their genres range from contemporary indie-rock, to jazz, soul, and American standards, but the resulting mélange makes sense once the sound hits the ears.” This unique duo is without question – set to “Go Far and Under.”

Caroline Hale is an Austin-based singer/songwriter and recent graduate of the University of Texas! While moving from the 40 acres to the spotlight at a young age, she is off to a scorching fast start – building a loyal following and playing some of the most well-known venues in town (and beyond). Her songs range from thought-provoking and poetic (e.g., “We Both Do”) to crowd thumping dance songs (e.g., “Frankly Speaking (I’m done)). One for introspection and connecting her experience (and others) to her music, Caroline is set for a meaningful ride “Down Under” – The Rock.

Under The Rock is an innovative new series showcasing acoustic performances from top-level local artists. Facilitated by Dr. Aaron Rochlen, a Professor, Psychologist, & connected music guy, each concert features lyrical discussions and ideas for how audience member can learn, reflect, and relate from the listening experience. An award-winning presenter, “Doc Rock” frequently uses music in his courses & clinical work.

A percentage of profits from each “Under The Rock” concert will be given to HAAM, which provides access to affordable healthcare to greater-Austin’s low-income working musicians, with a focus on prevention and wellness.
