Full routing is below and tickets are on sale date/time.
Are we having fun yet? After years building their respective legacies in the independent music scene, Derek Ted and Braden Lawrence let this question guide the creation of their latest project: beaming, a playful indie pop venture built around an ethos of curiosity, collaboration, and levity.
The duo’s self-titled EP introduced the project in June 2025 with four infectious songs at the intersection of pop, rock, and folk. This comes as no surprise given the band’s pedigree: Braden spent over a decade playing in Philadelphia-based indie darling The Districts, while Derek is a prolific producer who has lent his talents to rising stars like Odie Leigh, Runnner, and Field Medic.
Now, the band proves the model on their debut LP horseshoe, out April 2026 on Brooklyn-based label Rose Garden. Over 10 indie earworms, beaming’s razor-sharp pop production and soul-searching lyricism capture the spirit of embracing joy and rejecting rigidity even in moments of emotional turbulence. After a busy year opening for Vundabar, Runnner, Goon, and more, beaming has found their footing both on the road and in the studio. The result is a band that knows exactly who they are and an album that cuts straight to the heart of what makes pop music so disarming.
As they look toward their first full-length record as beaming, Derek and Braden only really have one firm plan: keep bringing people together to create art and make memories. The music industry may be more isolating than ever, but the music community remains full of the joy and collaboration that keep artists coming back time and time again. “There’s something special that happens when a room full of people all make something together,” says Derek. “The right people.”
“say goodbye” is out today via Rose Garden.
