Hotel Fiction

Hotel Fiction is an indie rock band from Athens, Georgia comprised of Jade Long (vocals, keys),
Jessica Thompson (vocals, lead guitar), Aaron Daugherty (lead guitar, synth), Aidan Hill (bass),

their EP Enjoy Your Stay in 2022. In 2023, they were a primary feature artist on flipturn’s single
“Halfway (Acoustic)”, which has accumulated nearly 1 million streams.

Their music has received recognition from EARMILK, Consequence of Sound, and Early Rising,
and been placed on Spotify editorial lists New Noise, wanderlust, Fresh Finds, Acoustic Love,
and Fresh Finds Rock: Best of 2022.

Hotel Fiction has spent the last 3 years heavily touring the US, both headlining and supporting
artists like flipturn, The Beaches, Susto, Beach Fossils, Adam Melchor, WILLIS, and Sunroom. They played
Sister Hazel’s Rock Boat in January 2024, alongside Young the Giant, The Struts, and more.
In 2024, the band will support The Brook & The Bluff on their headline tour. This summer, they
