About Y Not:

The music of Y-Not is designed to validate authentic human experiences through empowering lyrics and diverse soundscapes. Based in Grand Rapids, MI, the 6-piece band interweaves elements of alternative rock, jam, funk, and ambient soul with its central theme - a heartfelt and daring quest for interpersonal truth and change. Influences from Dave Matthews Band, Lauryn Hill, Trevor Hall, The Grateful Dead, John Mayer, and Ripe are constantly evolving in their impact on Y-Not’s music and its expression. 

 
Their dynamic rhythm section coupled with a powerful foundation of acoustic guitar & vocals build up Y-Not’s sound to soaring heights achieved with the soloing virtuosity of the band’s saxophonist, violist, and electric guitarist. This is most notable in their first full length album, "Rearranging the Psychic Furniture". Released in March 2023, this series of recordings showcase the band’s intentional lyrics and eclectic musicianship. Live shows exemplify the reciprocal positive catharsis between members of the band and the audience collectively. Y-Not invites listeners on a musical journey: An experience of inspiringly memorable moments spent dancing, laughing, and finding peace in community with others~
 
About Adam Gottlieb & OneLove:
Adam Gottlieb & OneLove are a Chicago-based Fusion band serving songs for the revolution. They are ordinary working people fighting for survival, peace, and justice with upbeat music that blends Reggae, Blues, Folk, Rock, Funk, Hip Hop, Latin, Psychedelic, Ska, and more. The group brings together members from a wide range of backgrounds united in the cause of making music for the movement. By combining sharp and timely original material with intentional adaptations and cover songs that root the band in a long history of struggle, OneLove helps us to bring into focus a vision of a world of universal justice. The eclectic yet cohesive musical repertoire offers something for everyone in the band’s effort to unite people around the movement for that new world.

Their first full album “All of You” was nominated for the Best Local Album of 2020 in the Chicago Reader. The band has played at South by Southwest Music Festival at the AEMMP Records Hip Hop showcase, “A Little Taste of the Chi.” In its first year (2015) the group won first prize at the Pride North talent contest, and since then has played classic Chicago stages such as Schubas, Subterranean, Beat Kitchen, Martyrs, etc; as well as local music festivals such as Glenwood Arts and Southport Arts; and hosted a monthly residency at the legendary Heartland Cafe in Rogers Park during the venue’s last year of operation in 2018. They have opened for notable artists such as Mike Love, Dustin Thomas, and Tasha. The band has also hosted "Soul Rebels: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Bob Marley" in Chicago for the last seven years, including the last three years at Epiphany Center for the Arts, where they are proud to have an artistic residency.
