Hannah Fairlight - Guitars and Vocals
Born in the midwest and raised throughout the United States by parents who are equally nature lovers as well as art and music enthusiasts, 20-year old Hannah is the middle child among two red-headed siblings.

12 years of study on classical piano and 8 on sax, Hannah rounds out her musicianship on guitar and vocals.

Sora-An - Guitars and Vocals
The daughter of South Korean immigrant parents, Sora was born and raised in Houston, TX. She first picked up her father’s guitar at the age of 7 and taught herself how to play. She immediately started improvising and coming up with her own chord patterns and melodies. By the time she graduated high school, Sora was busy writing songs in her characteristic alt-punk-pop style. In 2002, at the innocent age of 22, Sora bought a one way ticket to NYC and has never looked back. It has been her life love to pursue a career as a professional musician.

Liz Kelly - Drums and Vocals
Singing was an everyday occurrence in the Kelly household, allowing 20-year old Liz to use her voice as part of her daily routine. Her sister taught her how to harmonize and her mother showed her how to play a few chords on the guitar. Playing in a variety of musical styles and coming up with a sound of her own came naturally to the energetic kid who gravitated to playing the drums as her first instrument. Her music progressed by adding piano, bass, and vocal beat-box. She continued her studies at Berklee School of Music's summer program where she received an award for her songwriting abilities.

Caitlin Gray - Bass and Vocals
Beginning on the piano at age 5, 19-year old Caitlin spent much of her childhood learning to play music. Though her parents did not have an extensive musical background, Caitlin decided early on that she wanted to make music her life. As a student at the New School For Jazz and Contemporary Music Studies, she works hard perfecting her skills on double bass. Girls Don’t Cry gives her an opportunity to rock out on electric bass and vocals.

Rachael Cornick - Keys and Vocals
As a 2 year MVP Volleyball player at Adelphi University, 21-year old Rachael gets to express a different side of her herself as keyboardist and singer in Girls Don’t Cry.
