Right when Worthley’s voice struck the microphone, it was easy to hear the effortless power and true passion behind her enchanting voice.” - September Sinclair

Bio

Sydney Worthley is a singer-songwriter at heart but when she steps on stage all bets are off. Each song starts in a corner of a room, pulling inspiration from Phoebe Bridgers and Taylor Swift and ends on a stage. Her performances consist of alt-pop pieces, unreleased personal ballads, and the occasional 80s classic rock hit.

In 2017, Sydney released her debut 14-track album titled "Strong", followed by performances at Mountain Jam Music Festival, First Night Saratoga, and Rockin' on the River.

Now in 2023 following the release of her 2020 EP "Rose Colored Glasses", she has a feature on NPR's Heavy Rotation list, a performance at Alive at Five opening for Cassadee Pope, and a 2023 Record of the Year award from The Eddie's.

Starting in November of 2022, Sydney Worthley put out her lead single begging the question “How Soon Is Now?”. This song deals with heartache, the aftermath of changing who you are to fit someone else’s needs, losing all feeling, and grieving for a person who is still alive. The desolated lyrics are contrasted with an 80s synth pop production style similar to Maggie Rogers or The 1975. 

Mere months after the release of “How Soon Is Now?”, Worthley releases her most honest song yet, “Heart Shaped Mess”. It seems that her 2023 resolution is to break down walls and introduce a more vulnerable version of herself. Throughout this track, Worthley expresses numbness, feminine rage, guilt, and every emotion that comes with the territory of heartbreak. 

Sydney and her band bring an energetic performance to any stage they step on, while also being able to create an intimate set between her and her audience on her own.
