New York City’s most storied music room is set to host the next wave of independent artistry as FENIX360 brings its Fenix Rising showcase series to The Bitter End on Saturday, April 19 at 7:00 PM. Headlining the evening is emerging rock artist Brenner Plaehn, whose raw, emotionally driven sound embodies the spirit of the series.
Fenix Rising serves as FENIX360’s flagship platform for breakthrough talent, connecting artists directly with a global audience while championing a creator-first model. The series represents the live extension of FENIX360’s mission—eliminating traditional gatekeepers and empowering artists to build sustainable careers on their own terms. With showcases expanding across the U.S. and internationally, this New York City event places the movement squarely at the center of one of the world’s most influential music markets.

Brenner Plaehn enters the showcase with growing momentum following the release of his late-2024 single Axon, a three-track project that highlights his depth as a songwriter. Blending urgency with restraint, Plaehn delivers a sound that is both contemporary and distinctly his own—making an intimate, iconic venue like The Bitter End the perfect stage for his next step.
Widely recognized as New York’s oldest rock club, The Bitter End has launched the careers of legendary artists including Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Neil Young. By bringing Fenix Rising to this historic venue, FENIX360 reinforces its commitment to cultivating the next generation of influential voices.
FENIX360’s platform is built around artist ownership and revenue transparency, enabling creators to retain 80% of advertising revenue and up to 95% of income from NFTs, merchandise, ticket sales, and livestreams. For artists like Plaehn, this model provides both creative freedom and meaningful financial opportunity from the outset.
