Australian-born singer/songwriter Hazel English moved to San Francisco, then Oakland, in 2013. When she met up with Jackson Phillips of the band Day Wave at the book store where she was working, the two hit it off and began collaborating. Their first three songs were posted on SoundCloud and became something of a sensation. English formed a band and played her first show opening for Craft Spells at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco in late 2015.
