About:

Johnny Bear is a Chicago based Artist, Producer, and Audio Engineer. After 14 years producing for other artists and a variety of other projects, his debut EP “ID” is set to show his brand new sound. Johnny’s music always looks to put you in a good mood, as he brings an upbeat and light energy to electronic music, drawing inspiration from electronic artists like Porter Robinson, Madeon, and Fred Again.

Introduced to electronic music in the early 2000’s, after experimenting with a variety of instruments, Johnny was inspired by the boom of the electronic music scene during the 2010s to start producing himself. Johnny began crafting tracks of his own, blending inspiration from across the genre’s diverse subcultures, although always with an affinity to Chicago’s house music.

Now gearing up to release his debut EP, Johnny has honed a bright, uplifting sound defined by feel-good energy and cheery vibes. His EP, “ID” drops on all streaming services on September 5th, just in time to get familiar with the tracks before the show on September 6th! @johnnybearmusic

About:

If you were around during Chicago’s underground House Music movement or Rave scene in the late 80’s and early 90’s, then you’ll be utterly familiar with the name Julio Bishop. Whether from appearing weekly on some of the hottest party flyers throughout the Midwest or because you had a copy of his now infamous mix tape, “Love Nation” sold out of all the local record stores, the name Julio Bishop is synonymous with jacking dance floors since 1987.

Getting his start as a dancer and DJ in Chicago’s nightclubs and warehouses, but soon expanding his influence; from NYC to LA, to the beaches of Miami, Puerto Rico and Mexico, Germany and Sicily, Julio has been bringing his deep, mystifying grooves to the world for over 3 decades. His intimate knowledge of classic Afro-Latin and Jazz, , as well as his acquired proficiency of Disco, Electronica, Club & Deep House takes his sets far outside the realm of what is attainable by a greener selection of DJ’s.

Funneling his talents into the studio in the early 2000’s, Julio helped launch RealDEEP Recordings, along side label partner Brian Cullen (aka Bjak) where, together they paved the way to further coproductions and solo projects on labels such as Deep Explorer Music (Madrid) and Eargasmic Recordings (Chicago).

With more releases on the way and a selection of upcoming gigs scheduled between Chicago. Puerto Rico, LA & Hawaii, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for what’s to come next from this proved House Music veteran.

Live on the Lawn Featuring Fernando Jones & Knott Us Band

Date: Sunday, September 14th, 2025

Doors: 3:30PM

Showtime: 4:00PM

Tickets: Free admission! RSVP BELOW

RAIN OR SHINE!

About Fernando Jones:

If one word could describe this Chicago Blues Hall of Famer and Keeping the Blues Alive Award winning "creative" named Fernando Jones it would be rare. This multi-instrumentalist started off by playing the Blues on the guitar when he was just four years old. Today, he's still going strong as a bandleader. This world-class, internationally known American Bluesman, educator and songwriter was born to loving Mississippi parents on the Southside of Chicago. Jones is one of a few living African American Bluesmen to have a tribute album of his compositions done by a band on a different continent; Jona's Blues Band of Rome, Italy is the group. 

Jones has performed his compositions from basement parties to the University of Hawaii to The Smithsonian Institute to the Conservatory of Music in Pescara, Italy to nightclubs in Havana, Cuba. Here is a sample of his scholarly writing in the Journal of Popular Music Studies and awards. In January 2020, the National Association of Music Merchants invited him to host a lecture on the impact of Blues Pedagogy. As a lecturer Fernando Jones has established Blues Camps for youths on the continents of Asia, Europe, North America and the Caribbean island of Cuba. Here's an interview on him done by The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library.​

As evident of his work(s) demonstrate; here’s why Fernando Jones, a Keeping the Blues Alive Award recipient and Chicago Blues Hall of Fame member is worth investing in as a performer, lecturer and/or an artist-in-residence. Fernando Jones is original in his approach to music with a focus on the Blues and the performing arts.

About Knott Us Band:

About Chicago Immigrant Orchestra:

The Chicago Immigrant Orchestra, originally founded in 1999 by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, emerged as a vibrant expression of the city's rich musical diversity until the end of its initial run in 2004. Helmed at the time by Willy Schwartz, the orchestra brought together musicians from Chicago's immigrant communities, showcasing a global array of musical traditions. Though its initial run ended after 5 years, its influence lingered, leaving an indelible mark on the local music scene.

In 2019, a new chapter unfolded when the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events enlisted guitarist Fareed Haque and oud player Wanees Zarour to revive the orchestra for the 2020 Chicago World Music Festival. Despite the challenges posed by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the orchestra persevered, delivering a lauded virtual concert in September 2020.

Today, the rejuvenated Chicago Immigrant Orchestra comprises a 20-piece ensemble drawn from Chicago's immigrant communities, representing an eclectic mix of musical heritages from across the globe. Under the artistic direction of Haque and Zarour, musicians hailing from the Far East to Western Europe, Africa, and the Americas collaboratively shape the orchestra's musical narrative.

Embracing a fresh perspective, the New Chicago Immigrant Orchestra delves into the interplay between diverse musical traditions, weaving a rich tapestry that celebrates both their shared connections and distinctive differences.

About Jade Maze:

Jade Maze mixes soul, jazz, and pop into one big heart-filled voice. From the first note, you know she is singing about lived experiences. Whether sharing a H.E.R. cover, a jazz standard, or an original song, her delivery is profound and unique. She started out with soul and jazz bands on the West Coast, toured with her original band on the East Coast, and made Chicago her home in the mid-90s, where she split duties between her own band and singing with jazz/blues/contemporary ensembles. She loves the intimacy of duo work as well, especially with guitar, bass, or piano.

Jade also happens to be an award-winning author. Her debut memoir, Walk Until Sunrise, took a first-place world literary prize (Rome), and the follow-up memoir entitled Mercy’s View: Blackout won a 2025 Best Book Pinnacle Achievement Award. The memoirs chronicle her teenage runaway experience, her reentry into society, and her singing career. To offset the intensity of that work, Jade writes short stories where at least one of the story characters is a singer (Music Notes: Tales from an American Singer). They are hilarious!

So come hear some songs, read a book, have a refreshing beverage, and enjoy!

About Buddy Fambro:

Buddy Fambro is a Chicago-based guitarist, producer, composer, and educator. With three solo albums to his credit, he can also be found frequently on the theater circuit. Notable past performances include PBS’s Great Performances “Chicago Voices Gala” (Lyric Opera House of Chicago), Motown: The Musical (Ford Oriental Theatre), and the international tour of Come Fly Away. Buddy has performed with Gerald Albright, Ramsey Lewis, Mavis Staples, and the Urban Knights, to name a few. Influences include Wes Montgomery, Pat Metheny, and Larry Carlton.

Live Music Set from Feestet Trio 5PM - 8PM (FREE ADMISSION)

Golden Hour Specials

- $4 craft beer

- ½ priced bottle of wine

- $10 Epiphany spirits

- Delicious 2 for 1 lite bites

About Feestet Trio:

Feestet (pronounced “Feest-tet”) is a Madison-based “gateway jazz” ensemble fronted by vocalist Helen Feest. 

For the Golden Hour, Feestet will perform as a trio featuring Chicago’s own Frank McKearn IV on the Electronic Valve Instrument. A 1970’s analog synthesizer with 7 octaves range, the EVI perfectly showcases both Frank’s trumpet chops and bass experience. They are joined by the project’s primary composer/arranger, Anthony Utehs, on guitar.

Attend the opening reception on Friday, September 19th, from 6:00-9:00pm.

My 1.5 year old son says only a handful of words- wow, momma, daddy, ball, truck, fraise, ciao. The week I committed to this exhibition at Epiphany, he added a new word: birthday.

Birthday is about how scary it is to begin. The first scream, first smile, first word, first step, first fall. The moment my son was born I was certain I was dying. In the days and months that followed it still wasn’t clear as we existed in a new web of pain, euphoria and wonder. It helps to have something to hug, something to hold you up. A live camera is positioned above his crib and I watch him while he sleeps.

A birthday is a celebration, a renewal, but also a reckoning. Sometimes counting up feels like counting down, and the beginning is also an ending. The work in this show is holding on and letting go. The subject matter appears familiar, a stuffed animal, a lifejacket, stills from the baby monitor.  Materials in the show include silk, human hair and hair salon foils. Having grown up in a hair salon, these objects and images anchor me to my own childhood, my own history of birthdays and the crescendo of time passing. The week Birthday opens my son will turn 2.

Attend the opening reception for WERIEM’s L’esprit de Pierrot on Friday, September 19th, from 6:00-9:00pm.

This series of paintings and drawings explores the enduring spirit of Pierrot—the iconic French character who embodies poetic vulnerability, theatrical grace, and quiet melancholy.

L'esprit de Pierrot (The Spirit of Pierrot) is not a character study—it is an atmosphere. The works evoke fragility, introspection, and the unspoken drama of being. Each piece exists in a suspended moment between stillness and performance, between reality and reverie. Through subtle gesture and deliberate restraint, the artwork creates an emotional atmosphere that transcends literal representation. The compositions become mirrors, inviting viewers to project their own inner theater onto each image.

With this exhibition, WERIEM invites viewers to pause within these contemplative spaces, to feel the weight of unspoken emotion, and to recognize the delicate ways in which beauty, loss, and imagination intertwine in our daily performance of being human.

RSVP for this event.

Attend the opening reception for Lumpia Fusion: Filipino Americans at a Crossroads on Friday, September 19th, from 6:00-9:00pm.

The Filipino American experience is a story of cultural fusion. With a heritage woven from Malay, Chinese, Spanish, American, and indigenous influences, Filipinos have cultivated a rich cultural tapestry. As immigrants, Filipino Americans have further diversified this vibrant heritage, creating a natural predisposition to adaptation and an appreciation of inter-cultural exchange. This has led to Filipino Americans often finding themselves at a crossroads, negotiating change while maintaining deep-rooted cultural connections. This experience provides fertile ground for artistic exploration.

Lumpia Fusion celebrates this fluid identity by encouraging bold experimentation and unexpected pairings. What new forms emerge when sound or movement intertwine with fabric? What groundbreaking creations can arise from a collaboration between a visual artist and a scientist? How can traditional techniques, such as wood carving, be reimagined through the lens of contemporary art? This exhibition celebrates the beauty that emerges from the fusion of minds and cultures, sparking meaningful conversations.

Attend the opening reception for Liz McCarthy’s Imperfect Players on Friday, September 19th, from 6:00-9:00pm.

Imperfect Players is a collection of ceramic vessels that can be performed as musical instruments and accompanied by drawings.

I worked at an auction house creating condition reports for fine and decorative art. These objects were valuable for their aesthetic, craft, and cultural histories. I often studied ceramic vases closely and under a black light to find the imperfections: cracks, chips, and many networks of hidden repair. They had their own material stories in the flaws of their production and accumulation of wear. These imperfections degraded their value, but also served as evidence of their authenticity. 

I am a similar vessel. My human body has sustained physical and psychological changes and damage, and I hold that with me as I function day to day. Especially after giving birth to my child, I was very aware of dramatic shifts to my mind and body, and I struggled to perform as I once did. Imperfect Players is a response to that corporal rift. These forms are adorned with their own broken and fused pieces, just as I hold onto memories and my material body holds scars and strain of the past. Although broken, these vessels are also instruments that can be played to make musical sounds.
Imperfect Players celebrates imperfect and broken vessels that disrupt the idealized form, and still function as instruments in the world.

Shadow Puppetz Presents: Devil's in the Details

Date: Saturday, September 20th, 2025

Doors & Showtime: 1:00PM

Tickets: General Admission - $40 | VIP - $75 (Reserved seat with optimal viewing of the battles and performances)

About:

Join us for Devil’s in the Details, Chicago’s inaugural two-day robot and animation dance festival. Featuring live music, art, dance workshops, technology demonstrations, a showcase competition, and a head-to-head dance battle with a unique twist, Devil’s in the Details reimagines how robot and animation dance is presented through a fresh multidisciplinary approach.

Highlights:

● 1v1 Robot & Animation Dance Battle: Battles are head-to-head competitions where dancers freestyle to random music by a live DJ. Devil’s in the Details combines this with a unique twist where the Top 16 dancers will freestyle to specific concepts that demonstrate an in-depth knowledge and creative exploration of robot and animation dance.

● Busking-Inspired Showcase Competition: Robot and animation dance are rooted in busking, also known as street performance. Devil’s in the Details reimagines this tradition in an invitational showcase style competition. Spectators will be invited to participate by voting for their favorite performance through a ticket-in-the-hat system.

● Dance Workshops and Tech Demos: The pioneers of robot and animation dance created these styles by emulating the technology of their time. Devil’s in the Details blends dance education with technological insight in workshops and tech demos designed to show dancers how to explore and generate their own movement inspired by first hand reference material, rather than merely emulating the movement of other dancers.

Devil’s in the Details will take place on Saturday, September 20, 2025 in The Sanctuary at Epiphany Center for the Arts. Doors open at 2 PM, prelims for the 1v1 battle will begin at 3 PM, and the main event will begin at 5 PM.
