Dorsten

Folk-Pop

We are Dorsten, a Folk-Pop sibling duo.

DORSTEN = the vibe and nuance of Noah Kahan + power vocals of Adele.

 With remarkable vocals from Sophie and masterful instrumentation from Alex, they have won over audiences on national and international tours and major music festivals; most recently Summerfest and Edmonton Folk Music Festival. Dorsten continues to craft music that resonates with listeners worldwide. They were honored to be direct support for Mark Ambor that took them around the US and Europe. Dorsten then went back to EU for a 17-city European tour opening for various arists, most notably Tom Walker in Paris. This Arizona-based duo has opened for Beth Hart locally and most recently went on a 9-city tour in Canada.

Sophie and Alex released their debut EP,' To The River,' in 2024 and the title single received amazing reviews. 

Dorsten has won multiple awards for their incredible production; they are every step from start to finish - write, record, produce, mix, master, and even creating the album art. Stay tuned for more exhilarating music from Dorsten!

Hush

Dorsten

‘Hush’ is about the suffocating grip of a toxic relationship – how blind you can be when you think you’re in love. It tells the story of a liar who can’t keep their promises, constantly twisting the truth, while the other person bears the blame and endures the abuse.

A Smile Like Mine

DORSTEN

A Smile Like Mine’ is about all the special moments of falling in love. We love how much the song meant to so many people we met on tour around the US and Europe and we are excited to share it with the world. The cover art is a picture of Sophie running through the flower fields in Amsterdam, Netherlands while on tour April 2024.

To The River

DORSTEN

We created and recorded this song in Alex's studio where he produced it, mixed, and mastered the song. We wrote ‘To The River’ about deception, and how the internet changes our view of everyone and everything. It’s a song about coming together to drown out that deceiving noise.

...unlike most situations in this business where the hype rarely matches the product that it surrounds, Dorsten is living up to some seriously high hopes and producing music that will be celebrated as some of the best coming out of their scene at the moment..."” - Mindy McCall
