Renny Conti - Split Second Tour

Renny Conti brings the Split Second Tour to Songbyrd Music House with support from James Eichman and Jem Wilde. Conti’s folk-tinged indie songs draw on personal history, heartbreak, family, grief, and the experience of finding identity through music.

Conti began releasing homemade albums in his early twenties before recording his self-titled debut in 2023. Released in 2025, that album introduced his developing artistic voice and led to broader attention across the indie scene and a deal with Mom+Pop. Split Second gathers musical snapshots of the people, places, and experiences that shaped him, combining acoustic guitar and direct vocals with orchestration, distortion, and a layered atmosphere created with co-producer Adrian Olsen.

The album also reflects Conti’s relationship with his late older brother, with many of its songs emerging after his brother’s death and considering the difference between loss and the absence that preceded it. Conti’s early musical life included playing with his brother, as well as time in metal and punk bands, before studying film and moving toward a more reflective indie-folk sound.

Jem Wilde is a singer-songwriter and artist whose indie folk-rock work pairs vivid, tender melodies with candid writing about queer identity, trauma, confession, and catharsis. A classically trained dancer, Wilde approaches songwriting as a form of colorful storytelling and has been praised by the Washington City Paper and Bob Boilen. James Eichman is also part of the supporting lineup.
