About Frost Children:

For Angel and Lulu Prost, the sibling duo behind Frost Children, home has always sounded like dance music. The St. Louis-born musicians grew up steeped in the sleek catharsis of golden-age EDM: huddling over YouTube videos of 2010s festival staples like Zedd, Skrillex, and Krewella; watching rapt as Virtual Riot commanded a headline show at their neighborhood outdoor amphitheater; digging through their eldest brother’s dubstep collection. The duo’s third album SISTER, out September 12th via True Panther/Dirty Hit, is an exhilarating return to those first sounds that moved them, echoing with the reverence and refinement of two formidable artists crafting exactly what they want to hear. But it’s also a striking portrait of Frost Children’s singular creative partnership: as bandmates, as roommates, as symbiotic savants practicing the art of what Angel calls “twin telepathy.” Boldly revitalizing and revolutionizing a too-often- devalued subgenre, Frost Children have delivered their most forthright and full-bodied identity statement yet. As Lulu puts it: "This is so confidently what we love, and what we breathe.”

Melding the sensitivity and songcraft of Hearth Room with the propulsive power of SPEED RUN, SISTER puts forward an arrestingly personal vision for modern dance music that transcends nostalgia and trend-chasing. Delicately weaving strains of emo, electro, and pure pop, Frost Children explore close-to-home themes of co-dependence, consistency, and change, exemplified by the roaring refrain on lead single “CONTROL”: “Tell me the way to live / I’m falling apart.” For all the uncertainty of thrilling anthems, SISTER pulses with the electric energy of two artists confidently reveling in their element.

About Ninajirachi:

Ninajirachi is raising the flag for a new generation of Australian artists on the international stage. From festival appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Laneway, and Spilt Milk to sold-out headline shows on both sides of the Pacific, she has quickly become one of electronic music’s most electrifying new voices. With a sound and style “simultaneously garnering respect from the experimental underground and the mainstream” (Rolling Stone), Nina has been tapped by Nike, Sega, and even Ableton, who selected her to produce the official demo project for Ableton Live.

Nina’s evolution is best captured in the transformation of her childhood inspirations into career allies. Artists such as Charli XCX, Porter Robinson, and Cashmere Cat have gone from influences to touring partners, while Skrillex and SOPHIE have become recurring points of comparison - with Billboard declaring Ninajirachi “the female equivalent of Scary Monsters-era Skrillex.”

Raised on Australia’s Central Coast, Nina remains rooted in curiosity and experimentalism, continually spotlighting emerging artists from the furthest corners of the internet through her DJ sets, collaborations, and her annual headline event, Dark Crystal. Launched in 2022, Dark Crystal is Nina’s dream festival, brought to life - a showcase for unique and developing artists across diverse genres and niches. With the 2025 edition selling out months in advance, Dark Crystal has become a touchstone of Australia’s electronic underground community

About Umru:

Through wide-reaching collaborations with the likes of Laura Les, Tommy Cash, Empress Of & Caroline Polachek, a producer-staple sample pack series, and a kinetic, CDJ-defying mixing style that has launched him into a constant international DJ circuit, his strength in joining earworm songwriting with distorted sonic maximalism has become a defining influence on the cutting edge between underground and popular music. In 2025, he released his first EP on Scottish label LUCKYME®, a single with underscores, and production and remixes for names like Danny Brown, Cortisa Star, and Ninajirachi.

About:

Inspired by the rhythms and melodies of flamenco, jazz, classical, rock and the Balkan region, this performance features the unrivaled guitar artistry of two of the finest players of their respective generations. Their music is carefully balanced between blazing virtuosity and sheer beauty.

Goran Ivanovic and Fareed Haque recorded two CDs together, Macedonian Blues and 7 Boats, to great critical acclaim, even getting the nod as top best acoustic guitar albums 2004 from acoustic guitar magazine. Both have both been so busy that they have not been able to play again together for years.

For These Musicians, There Is No Continental Divide.
HOWARD REICH ,Los Angeles Times:

"Although the music on this extraordinarily sensitive guitar-duo recording transcends genre, there's no resisting its mix of American jazz, acoustic blues, flamenco rhythm and Macedonian melody. Only two guitarists on the planet would come up with such a concoction, but Ivanovic and Haque (whose roots run to Yugoslavia and South Asia, respectively) play as if they're speaking the same musical language. Some listeners might be tempted to consign any recording as genteel as this to background music, but that would mean missing the puckish stop-start rhythms of "Kalajdzisko Oro," the mystical ambience of "Gajdarsko Oro" and the free-form expressions of "Improv." Those who have heard the duo in concert probably will conclude that no recording could capture fully the sparks that fly between these two virtuosos. But this disc at least documents the distinctly cross-continental flavor of their restlessly innovative work."

About Rogue Fashion Show:

Rogue is the third official fashion experience presented by Raeted R Creative Co., building on the foundation of Planet R and the evolution of Retrograde. This next chapter moves beyond reflection and into rebellion. Challenging convention, disrupting norms, and redefining the boundaries of fashion as both art and resistance. Rooted in punk energy, digital futurism, and unapologetic individuality, Rogue invites attendees into a space where identity is self-defined, and creativity exists without permission.

Curated by Raven Smith, Founder of Raeted R Creative Co. and the community-driven brand Straight From The Go, the show reflects her continued commitment to storytelling, cultural impact, and creating platforms that center emerging voices. As a multidisciplinary creative, Raven uses each experience to build immersive environments where fashion becomes a language. One that speaks to freedom, transformation, and the power of going against the grain.

More than a runway show, Rogue is a statement. It is a curated moment that brings together designers, artists, and creatives who exist outside of traditional systems. Those who challenge expectations and create from a place of authenticity and disruption. Through bold design, immersive energy, and a fearless approach to expression, Rogue captures fashion in its most unfiltered form: raw, evolving, and entirely its own.

About:

Afro Dead is a musical collective formed in 2022 by Aaron Feder to reimagine the music of the Grateful Dead in Afro-Pop styles, such as soukous, Afrobeat, high-life, reggae and more. He has been able to use his experience as founder and band leader of Alma Afrobeat Ensemble (four albums, four US tours) and co-founder of the record label Slow Walk Music (home to African music made in Spain) resulting in a Summer 2024 tour of the US and Canada, and a Fall 2024 tour of Spain.

For 2026 the band will feature the amazing singer London Kay, most known for touring with Heart and the internationally touring Grateful Dead act Terrapin Flyer.

Aaron Feder has been a lifelong participant in the Grateful Dead’s music scene, having played and recorded with Grammy award winners Peter Rowan and Eric Krasno, as well as members of Phil Lesh and Friends, Greensky Bluegrass, Leftover Salmon, Everyone Orchestra and much more. Aaron’s varied musical experiences has helped create a vibrant, one-of-a-kind musical project, mixing classic Americana compositions with danceable African grooves and a healthy dose of improvisation.

The band’s version of Dark Star was featured on the compilation “The Music Plays the Band” alongside Dark Star Orchestra, Oteil Burbridge, ALO and many more.

Josh Olken (Terrapin Flyer) who has recently played with Al Dimeola and Derek Trucks, will be joining Afro Dead for this special show. Aaron and Josh have played many shows together, and bring an even more special flavor to this concert, combining their two unique interpretations of Jerry Garcia's six string legacy into a version of the Dead's songs you never expected!

Manasseh has toured and collaborated with Grammy-nominated jazz trumpeter Marquis Hill, contributed vocals to Composers Collective: Beyond the Jukebox, and joined international pop star JoJo on her Too Much To Say Tour and at the Taste of Chicago. He has also served as music supervisor for the short film Take 290, created original programming for Malcolm X College, and regularly headlines shows and high-end corporate events nationwide.

His debut album Monochromatic Dream was released in 2022, followed by EPs including Variations V1 – I’ll Be. His forthcoming album, R&B[eyond], arrives Spring 2026 and is already earning early praise, signaling a bold next chapter in his evolving artistic vision.

About Jade Maze:

Jade Maze mixes soul, jazz, blues, and pop into one big heartfelt voice. 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 foraged her way onto the blues and jazz scenes. 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 the beginning stages of 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).

About Larry Brown Jr.:

Larry Brown Jr. is a Kennedy Center Jazz Ahead alumnus and has toured nationally and internationally as a composer/arranger as well as a bandleader. Brown co-leads the acclaimed Chicago Soul Jazz Collective. He has released two records of original compositions (There Can Only Be One; The Music & The Moment). His playing and charisma also landed him a role in the hit television series EMPIRE where he played recording artist Snoop Dogg’s lead guitar player. Brown has performed at some of the country’s greatest jazz festivals and venues, including the St. Louis Jazz Festival, the Clark Terry Jazz Festival, the JVC Jazz Festival (New York), Lima Jazz Festival (South America), as well as Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola. Additionally, he has performed with Hamiet Bluiett, Louie Bellson, Lew Soloff, Benny Golson, and Curtis Fuller.

About:

Sally Marian Rubin’s viral short film Zoomies comes to Epiphany Center for the Arts for a special screening accompanied by a live performance of its original score led by Susie McCollum.

Already known for its intimacy and emotional honesty, Zoomies takes on new dimensions as music moves from soundtrack to stage. Performed live alongside the film, McCollum’s score deepens the landscape of the film, creating an immersive experience where digital and live art become one. There will be a Q&A with Rubin and McCollum following the performance.

Join us for this unique screening and celebration of independent film, original music, and the power of shared experience.

About Susie McCollum:

Susie McCollum is a singer-songwriter who proudly walks a soulful, indie-folk line. One listen to any of her songs and you’ll hear the confessional power of Joni Mitchell, the lyrical prowess of Janis Ian, and the coy, jazzy-toned spirit of Norah Jones.

New York City-born & Chicago-based, McCollum’s musical journey spans opera, theater, jazz, R&B, & folk - providing an eclectic background that informs her textured, authentic sound. Her mesmerizing and poetic lyricism is fueled by compassion, wit, and an insatiable curiosity about the human experience.

Susie arrived on the scene with the celebrated single “New Year’s Eve” in 2022, praised by A&R Factory as a “part-love song, part-indie-soulful ode to bittersweet tradition.”

Her 2024 debut EP Tempt My Fate captivated audiences as “stirring and uniquely powerful” (CLOUT Magazine) for its soulful vocal and poignant songwriting.

So far, 2026 has brought SOLD OUT shows at the Mercury Lounge (NYC) & Epiphany Center for the Arts (Chicago), as well as her first scoring experience for the short film “zoomies” (71K views on Youtube).

In addition to her production credits, which extend into the theater, Susie has also honed her skills as an audio engineer - enabling her to truly inhabit every layer of the creative process. Her latest single “Abigail” is her best work yet.

About:

A 2025 City of Chicago Individual Artists Program awardee, guitarist and composer Brian Citro has been playing and writing music for 35 years. He studied with renowned guitarist Fareed Haque and is a long-time member of The Drastics. He’s performed and toured with JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound, Ted Sirota’s Heavyweight Dub!, Ackah Blay in Ghana, and many others.

Brian’s new album Keep Moving (Home), on Calligram Records, features 14 original compositions performed by his jazz quartet with Nick Mazzarella on saxophones, Quin Kirchner on drums, and Matt Uleryon bass. Recorded to tape by engineer Dave Vettraino at Chicago’s Palisade Studio, the album presents an “emotionally resonant … convergence of composition, performance, sound, and visual presentation” (Paris Move). The music flows from Brian’s experiences as a musician and human rights lawyer living in India and traveling in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Brian’s previous album, Acoustic Pastime on ears&eyes Records, features solo guitar arrangements of his compositions and Thelonious Monk tunes. Brian also leads an organ trio with Tom Vaitsas on organ and Peter Mack on drums, and he co-leads The Hey Lows with multi-instrumentalist and producer Lance Loiselle. Here, the Brian Citro Quartet performs Kenny Garrett’s Soldiers of the Fields at the Hungry Brain: https://www.briancitro.com/videos/v/brian-citro-quartet-soldiers-of-the-fields-hungry-brain-chicago.
