Varsity Dropout is a Chicago-based indie folk project using music as a therapeutic lens to explore memory and connection. Rooted in raw, unvarnished songwriting, the sound bridges the warm, expansive folk of Mumford & Sons and Bon Iver with the emotional weight and dynamic punch of Manchester Orchestra and The 1975. Every track is an invitation to process the heavy stuff together.
