About Us

"When We Met," the entrancing NW native duo of Bryan Casey and Melissa Dorres, captivates with a sound that blends nostalgic acoustics and futuristic ambient effects, creating an indie folk / dream pop sound.

Their chance meeting on a Portland dance floor blossomed into a musical partnership that has spanned over a decade. Known for their magnetic live performances across the Pacific Northwest and beyond on national tours, including a memorable NBA Halftime Show. When We Met returned to the stage in 2023 after a hiatus to create a new collection of music. Going from their alternative electro rock sound to a more intimate semi acoustic indie vibe.

When We Met's new collection of music takes listeners on a journey through dreamlike melodies and ethereal landscapes. From the haunting vocal harmonies and sparse instrumentation of “All I Want Now” to the eerie storytelling of “Skinwalker Ranch”, with more releases on the way! 

For fans of:  The New Pornographers, Elliott Smith, Quiet Arows, The Lumineers and Alvvays.
