“All hail Outcalls, the reigning queens of the Baltimore City music scene.”

–Baltimore Magazine

Award-winning American indie pop band Outcalls is led by writing duo Britt Olsen-Ecker and Melissa Wimbish, joined by drummer Justin Kruger. Britt and Melissa met in 2011 via the fringe Baltimore theater scene and Peabody Conservatory. Drawing from their training in opera and chamber music, they create sophisticated, genre-blurring pop that has captivated the mid-Atlantic indie music scene and international audiences. In addition to three self-produced studio albums, Outcalls has been featured in multiple films, notably the 2021 feature film Crisis. Their latest single, “Blast!” was produced by Grammy-nominated artist, David Rosenthal (Rainbow, Billy Joel). 

Olsen-Ecker and Wimbish are dedicated to building a stronger, more sustainable future for women in the music industry. They are creative risk-takers seeking greater independence as composers, tour managers, engineers, and sound designers. Outcalls has self-booked several tours throughout the US and Canada including The Skinny Tour, Expand the Fam Tour, and Nothing Will Go Wrong Tour. Their most recent SCORPIO Tour presented a series of intimate parlor concerts.

Following the release of their third studio album, Greatest Hits: Vol. 1 (2023) the duo remains prolific in the Mid-Atlantic circuit. Upcoming appearances include opening for American rapper and poet Dessa at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C. Outcalls is currently back in the studio and preparing for the release of a brand-new single, continuing their evolution as one of the region's most innovative acts.
