ACL Fest may be but a flicker in your rearview mirror at this point, but our ACL Fest content is still poppin’ fresh. LA’s Claire Chicha is Spill Tab, a lo-fi alt pop project focused on incorporating rhythms from across time and the globe and nestling them warmly in her dulcet, mezzo soprano jazz vocals. Not surprising considering someone of French-Korean origins, born in Thailand and raised across three continents. Chicha’s humble beginnings as an industry intern have led to her own center stage success, being called one of SXSW 2022’s “buzziest artists” by The Fader. Singing in both English and French, Spill Tab is an amalgamation of all of Chicha’s cultural influences, truly lived.



Chicha stopped by the KUTX tent to perform “Hold Me,” a jazzy piece of cocktail hour perfection, with Chicha’s honey-jazz vocals tucked in a groovy bossa nova shuffle.
