UNDER THE SUN
—
ILLUMINATING MUSICAL SESSIONS
AT THE HEART OF CALIENNA

Introduction

Artists perform beneath the Calienna sun in a space where nature sets the stage. Created to mirror the dedication, vulnerability, and spirit behind their work, each session becomes a moment of deep resonance for artist and audience alike. Their search for meaning and voice invites us into our own. We illuminate them, and they illuminate us.

Doppelfinger

UTS-Sitzung 02

Wir sind stolz, Doppelfinger, den zweiten Musiker, der „Under The Sun“ präsentiert, präsentieren zu dürfen. Clemens Bäre (alias Doppelfinger) ist ein österreichischer Singer/Songwriter, dessen introspektive Texte und zeitlose Instrumentierung eine Oase der Ruhe und des Mutes in einer zunehmend chaotischen Welt schaffen. Die Ehrlichkeit und Tiefe seiner Songs treffen den Nagel auf den Kopf und zeugen von einer einzigartigen Verletzlichkeit, die den Hörer ermutigt, es ihm gleichzutun.

UTS-Sitzung 01

Das Wiener Duo verbindet New-Gen-R&B mit rohen, introspektiven Texten, die von ihrer gemeinsamen türkischen und kurdischen Herkunft geprägt sind. Ihre Performance, inspiriert von der EP „ Dead Heat“ , bewegt sich mühelos durch verschiedene Stimmungen: sinnlich, melancholisch und zutiefst persönlich. Wir sind zutiefst gerührt, dass sie ihren Sound bei Calienna mit uns teilen.

Why a music series?

Because it matters.

This is where it began. In the Southern California hardcore scene of the ’90s: small shows, tight rooms, and a shared sense of meaning. That early energy, built on passion and community, continues to shape Under The Sun and the spirit of Calienna.

Under The Sun is a love letter to the artists who move us, and to the spaces that make room for them. It’s our way of filling Calienna with the same things that fuel us: passion, curiosity, vulnerability, and the kind of creative expression that makes life feel more alive. We don’t do this for clicks or commerce. We do it because it feels right. Because beauty belongs in unexpected places. Because sharing something real is reason enough.

For Christian Cervantes, our Creative Director and co-founder, Under The Sun is also deeply personal. It’s rooted in a youth spent in the DIY music scene of 90s Southern California. A raw, unpolished world of hardcore shows, zines, record stores, and friends discovering meaning together through sound. It was honest. It was intimate. It shaped who he became.

Under The Sun is an echo of that time. A way to reclaim something lost in the scroll of the algorithm. A chance to offer back to music what music once gave to us: belonging, perspective, and the courage to create something of our own.

We built Calienna to be a vehicle for growth. This is part of ours.
