Darren Criss & Charlene Kaye

Printer-friendly version

Darren Criss and Charlene Kaye, performing together again for the first time in since 2009!

Darren Criss hasn't wasted a day since graduating college less than one year ago. Upon moving to Los Angeles, he was immediately cast onto the ABC primetime show Eastwick. At the same time, a fun project that he and his friends did while attending University of Michigan (he starred in and co-wrote a Harry Potter musical!) became an internet sensation garnering over 10 million views. This "youtube celebrity" status quickly gave Darren Criss' a worldwide internet fanbase. Darren is currently finishing up a 5 song EP which will be released independently through iTunes later this summer. He's already hit the Billboard charts once this year, and with his 40,000+ internet fans, he may just do it again. 

Charlene Kaye is a classically trained pianist turned pop songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who gathers all the essential elements of classical and pop to create a lush sonic palette blurring the lines of both worlds.

Charlene moved to New York from Ann Arbor after graduating from the University of Michigan last fall.  While in school, she independently released her debut album, Things I Will Need in the Past, was well received by critics and fans alike, with the Michigan Daily calling her "an indie spirit headed for greatness" and Songs Illinois calling her "a force to be reckoned with."

Since moving her New York last fall, Charlene's sound has been evolving, where the fast-paced energy of the city has directly influenced her songwriting.  Her new EP, Charlene Kaye & the Brilliant Eyes EP, is the preview of the direction her music is taking.  Download it now!

Darren and Charlene, musical partners-in-crime since they first met five years ago, reunite on stage for the first time since graduation at the Underground on Friday, July 9th at 9pm.  Don't miss it, especially if you're a fellow UMich alum!
