About Joe Gorka:

Chicago-based singer-songwriter Joe Gorka draws from influences such as Gregory Alan Isakov and Justin Vernon to create original music ranging from piano ballads to dynamic guitar-driven folk songs. Since moving to Chicago in 2023, he has made a name for himself in the local singer-songwriter scene, playing well-loved venues such as Schubas Tavern, City Winery, and Uncommon Ground. Joe's debut EP “Evergreen” releases this Spring. Produced by Grammy-nominated producer Rob Genadek (Uptown Sound Recording), the EP features spare but powerful "one voice one instrument" tracks that earn a listener's attention both lyrically and musically. Two singles from the EP, "Wallflowers" and "Shiver" are out now.

About Chris Rawlins:

When you listen to Chris Rawlins it comes as no surprise that he was first a poet before he was a songwriter. The lyrics draw you right into his world of Midwestern landscapes, childhood homes, cities full of shadows, past lovers and dreamlike memories around every turn.

Then you start to pay attention to his relaxed, smooth vocal delivery. His voice is quiet and humble, yet confident, and will ease all the tension around you— and could ease you to sleep if you weren’t so captivated at every word. “Listen carefully, look out for the detail, let the words soothe you, and let the music amaze you” as Americana UK put it after hearing Rawlins’ debut album.

Chris Rawlins was born in Kalamazoo, MI and currently lives in Chicago, IL. He released a debut album in 2019 called Bring on the Rain, recorded and produced with the help of Old Town School of Folk Music songwriter, teacher, and producer, Steve Dawson. Americana UK called the work “a rich and unforgettable first album,” and Divide and Conquer Music states that “Rawlins’ first album is timeless, genre bending, and beautiful. No doubt Rawlins will strum the heartstrings of listeners and become an industry name in to time.”

About Lisa Medina:

Lisa P. Medina’s eclectic debut LP “Wishes” offers bilingual songs for all ages that explore love, motherhood, great joys, deep sorrows, and that mysterious feeling called hope. Discover the soulful voice of this talented singer-songwriter who playfully weaves rich storytelling, folk melodies, and vibrant Latin influences.

Free Blues Friday Featuring Fernando Jones

Date: Friday, June 6th, 2025

Doors: 5:00PM to Venue, 7:30PM to Epiphany Hall

Showtime: 8:00PM

Tickets: Free admission! RSVP BELOW

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:

This vocal vixen sings classic jazz, blues standards and her own originals. Her renditions stay true to the melodic content with respect, warmth and unique phrasing.

Shara was raised musically by her mother (adept in piano, clarinet and accordion) who encouraged the young songbird to experiment in the world of melodies nurturing her intuition to blossom. In college she studied with college professor Karen Sala in Southern Illinois, moving on to Chicago with iconic pianist and performer Ruth Allyn. She continued studying with Karen Saren, and Los Angeles vocal and performance coach Stephen Memel, “The science of switching on”.

At an early age Shara became mesmerized by jazz on the radio and in adulthood, this would be the inspiration that would turn passion into pursuit.

Along with gracing the stages of Chicago’s hot spots, Shara has also collaborated and performed with Chicago’s finest–a long list of respected artists including Dave Green, Lloyd Wilson, Willie Pickens, Bob Solone, Dave Gordon, Mark Burnell, Joel Barry, Rob Amster, John Bany, Dennis Luxion, Hans Luchs, Brian O’Hearn, Steve Ramsdell, Charlie Braun, Jim Cox, Phil Gratteau, Samuel Jewell, Eric Schneider, Alejandro Urzagaste, Joe Policastro, Dennis Luxion, Bradley Williams and Jon Deitemyer. Prior to her main-stage days, Shara has also sung background vocals for the Indie Rock band- Sister Machine Gun which propelled her breakthrough credits opening up for legendary guitarist Stanley Jordan and Fareed Haque.

In fact it was popular saxophone player, Von Freeman, who bestowed Shara with the nickname ‘Long, Tall and Mellow” not due to her model looks, but as a result of his admiration of her vocal dexterity and style.

Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Sam Cooke, Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simone, Ruth Brown, Carmen McRae, Minnie Riperton, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Dianne Reeves are amongst her influences. Pulling from these ageless masters and merging her mystical, hot sultry sound is what makes Shara Maxwell so unforgettable. Connecting listeners to songs of the past in a way that makes the music instantly fresh and inviting, Shara is exhilarating. Everything old is new again.

Pure charisma demands the audience to fall in love with the sounds and presence of this lovely vixen.

To book Shara for your event, send an email from her Contact page. Stay connected with her on Facebook and on Twitter.

About Vopli Vidopliassova:

40 Years from Ukraine to the World – Vopli Vidoplyassova 2025 North American Tour

For four decades, Vopli Vidoplyassova (VV) has been Ukraine’s ultimate cultural ambassador, with anthems sung by heart by every Ukrainian. As the first Ukrainian band to tour internationally and gain global fame, their music has crossed borders, bringing the spirit of Ukraine to the world through their explosive fusion of punk, rock, and folk.

From the Soviet underground to global festival stages, VV has shaped the sound of generations and remains a symbol of Ukrainian identity and resistance. They made history performing at WOMAD, Sziget, Montreux Jazz Festival, Woodstock Poland, and Rock am Ring. Over the years, VV has collaborated with world music icons like Goran Bregović, Manu Chao, and Khaled, continuously pushing boundaries. Their influence is undeniable—Eugene Hütz of Gogol Bordello calls them his musical teachers, a legacy now featured in a recent Gogol Bordello documentary.

Beyond his work with Vopli Vidoplyassova, Oleg Skrypka is also the founder of Kraina Mriy, one of Ukraine’s oldest and most influential festivals. A platform for cultural exchange and the development of new

Ukrainian artists, Kraina Mriy has also become one of the most credible charity organizations supporting hospitals and other vital Ukrainian causes.

Now, after almost a decade, VV is returning to North America for an explosive tour celebrating 40 years of music, resilience, and cultural revolution! Experience their legendary hits, including Весна (Spring), Танці (Dances), Галя, ходи (Halia, Come Here), Країна мрій (Land of Dreams), Любов (Love), and День народження (Birthday)—and be ready for musical surprises!

This tour is more than music—it’s a mission. 100% of the proceeds from charity auctions during each show will go directly to support Ukraine, including medical aid and humanitarian relief through Kraina Mriy.

About:

DJ Invicta joins Golden Hour with a captivating guest set of haunting darkwave and invigorating EBM.

An alternative music aficionado since early childhood, the Chicago native found her home in the city’s goth community when concert venues reopened their doors in 2021. Enthralled by the commanding sounds of modern post punk acts including Twin Tribes, WINGTIPS, Korine, Drab Majesty, and She Past Away, Invicta delved into the roots of the genre and began curating auditory experiences as a DJ. Spanning a gradient of moody to high energy beats, her sets include an emphatic nod toward Chicago’s own legendary and newborn dark music artists. 

Invicta is a resident DJ of Operating Tracks at LiveWire Lounge, regularly spins local darkwave shows, and has been featured on event bills for Ritual, The Dracula Show, Sanctum Festival, and ColdWaves.
