CrossOver Festival · Live Music

Hi, Handsome

Close harmonies and rough edges: indie-pop, folk and alt-country to close the night.

About the Band

Hi, Handsome are an Amsterdam-based duo made up of Jesse Finn and Daragh Gillen, born in New Zealand and Ireland. Their music sits somewhere between indie-pop, folk and alt-country, with close harmonies, rough edges, and songs that blur confession with daydream.

Influenced by artists like Fleetwood Mac, Alexi Murdoch, Kacey Musgraves and Johnny Cash, Hi, Handsome blend storytelling with atmosphere, writing about queerness, mental health, desire, shame, and all the complicated stuff in between.

Jesse, originally from Wellington, spent years fronting synth-pop band Opal House before moving to Amsterdam and starting again. Daragh, from Belfast, brings a finely tuned musical instinct that spans traditional Irish, pop, electronic and heavier sounds.

Their debut EP Southern Skies came out in August. Stream their single “Blood Burn”.
