The Astronomers

The Astronomers are the band you can’t help but root for. Led by frontman Michael Stensland and producer Ben Baker, the duo boasts a dynamic and energy-filled performance that blends pop, rock, and electronic elements, resulting in a sound that’s uniquely their own. Formed in 2019 and proudly independent the duo write, produce, mix, and master tracks from their home studio in Oshkosh.

Their music gained momentum in 2020 with the release of single “Overthinking.” Subsequent singles “Bad Type” and “Hotel Rooms” also received full rotation status, with “Hotel Rooms” charting at #88 on US top 40 radio and hitting #1 on 101.1 WIXX.

In 2023, The Astronomers embarked on three headline tours across the United States in support of their debut album, “The Occasion,” culminating in performances alongside national acts American Authors, LIT, Neon Trees, and more.

Chapter 4 unfolds for The Astronomers with their highly anticipated 16-track sophomore album, "Not Forever Anymore," set to release on May 17. In an innovative approach, the band is releasing a new song every other week leading up to the album launch, expressing their dedication to giving each song the spotlight it deserves.
