At 20 years of age, Calder Allen is one of the newest rising acts to emerge out of Austin, Texas. Both audibly and lyrically beyond his years, Allen is a prolific singer-songwriter and self-taught guitarist who completed the recording of his first album in 2021 at the historic Arlyn Studios, shortly followed by his inaugural performance at Austin City Limits Music Festival. His debut album, produced and engineered by Charlie Sexton and Jacob Sciba respectively, was released in June of 2022. His 2022 festival run included slots at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza Chicago, Sea Hear Now and Format Festival. Beyond festivals, he has opened for The Avett Brothers, John Hiatt, Turnpike Troubadours, The Wood Brothers, Shane Smith and the Saints, and more. Calder Allen's sophomore album is once again being recorded at Austin’s Arlyn Studios alongside Sexton and Sciba, and will be released in 2024. A fifth generation Austinite, Calder Allen’s natural ability and love for music is embedded into his DNA; among his music inspirations are his grandfather Terry Allen, his album producer Charlie Sexton, and other prolific artists like Gary Clark Jr., Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt are also impactful influences on Allen’s music. Outside of music, though also sources of constant inspiration, Allen enjoys fly fishing, rock climbing, and practicing conservation in the great outdoors.
