Scattered Sound Sessions Vol 7 with Haley Vuleta, Julian Tuver & more is coming up on Nov 27th and we're delighted to have Chloe in the mix!

Chloe Morrison-Clarke is an Ōtautahi based indie-folk artist who is passionate about creating with others. They are the vocalist and co-songwriter for pop-rock band ENTROPY and indie-folk project Babylonica. They love how music conveys flickers of feeling otherwise hard to describe, and have put the Neuroscience degree firmly on hold. Scattered Sounds will be their debut performance as a solo artist.

Grab a ticket from the link in the comments below and we'll catch you on Fri Nov 27th ♥️
