Bay Ledges

Zach Hurd started Bay Ledges in his bedroom after moving to Los Angeles from a small town in coastal Maine in 2015. It began as an attempt to make fun, creative sounds with no expectations. Chopped-up guitar lines, playful beats, and manipulated vocals created soulful, glitchy songs with a feeling of nostalgia. The project took off when Hurd’s 2016 single, “Safe,” jumped to the number three spot on Spotify’s Global Viral Chart. In the years that followed, Bay Ledges toured all over the US and Canada, sharing the stage with such acts as Yoke Lore, Magic City Hippies, and The Palms. In 2020 Hurd utilized time off the road to get back to the more personal process of making music-writing, producing, and mixing his 2020 EP, NewDaze. The result was a more intimate exploration and an evolution of the Bay Ledges sound. Tedious & Brief is a Chicago-based alternative pop artist whose airy synth and smooth vocals create nostalgic anthems.
