About:

Abigail Arkley is a Chicago-based recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter. Beginning her musical journey on the piano at age five, she went on to earn a B.M. in Piano Performance before expanding into songwriting, production, and electronic instrumentation.

Curious about the many shapes artistic expression can take, and inspired by creators across the musical spectrum, Abigail formed her solo project in 2021. That year, Abigail released her debut single, “Around You”. In 2024. Abigail released two follow-up singles, “Honey” and “Never Too Young”, quickly attracting the attention of her musical peers. She has performed alongside Indigo de Souza, Ginger Root, Finom, The Criticals, Miloe, and The Ophelias.

Blending bittersweet alt-folk soundscapes with ethereal wave and dream pop, Abigail creates a sonic universe as multifaceted as her artistic influences. Inspired by Oklou, Imogen Heap, The Sundays, and Bon Iver, her songwriting and production explore the hills and valleys of the human experience, pursuing themes of love and purpose in a message that is raw, ingenuous, and cautiously hopeful.

Her debut EP, Metamorph, arrives in November 2026. An open journal of her twenties, the record explores both the beauty and cost of becoming: the lives we must outgrow, the loves that transform us, and the selves we shed and offer up along the way. Created with her closest community members and friends, Metamorph traces Abigail’s evolution and pays tribute to the people, places, and past selves that have shaped her

Ben Dunnill

Date: Friday, November 27th, 2026

Doors: 5:00PM to Venue | 7:00PM to Sanctuary

Showtime: 7:30PM

Tickets:
Advanced - $25 (+$5.13 fees, including tax)
Day of Show - $30 (+$6.57 fees, including tax)

‘Service charges apply to ALL ticket purchases (online and box office)’ - Credit card only at door

About:

Ben Dunnill doesn’t just play music; he commands it. Armed with a timeless, gravel-and-silk voice and a staggering mental jukebox of over 5,000 songs memorized entirely by heart, the Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist bridges the gap between eras with effortless, classic soul.

Ben's story began at 13 years old in White Rock, B.C. While most kids his age were navigating middle school, Ben was stepping onto professional stages, cutting his teeth in the unforgiving boot camp of smoky piano bars. Over the span of a decade, he transformed those venues into his personal laboratory, mastering the lost arts of heavy improvisation, razor-sharp showmanship, and the rare ability to capture a room’s collective heartbeat.

That relentless grind eventually met the digital age, sparking a global wildfire. Ben captivated an online audience of over a million followers by turning convention on its head: dismantling hard-hitting rap anthems like 50 Cent’s “Many Men” and Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” and rebuilding them as sweeping, cinematic jazz masterpieces. The internet took notice, generating over 200 million views and drawing ecstatic praise from modern icons like Michael Bublé, Laufey, and Joe Rogan.

But while interpreting the greats and reimagining the unexpected built his foundation, Ben is stepping out from behind the safety of the classic songbook. The sweeping success of his original standouts like the cinematic, storytelling-rich “Till the Credits Roll” and the show-stopping “Encore” has signaled a massive creative evolution. No longer just an elite interpreter of other people's masterpieces, Ben's next definitive chapter shifts the spotlight directly onto his own pen.

A deeply respected collaborator who co-wrote and co-produced the chart-topping jazz record Anything Goes with Mathew V, Ben has already brought his magnetic energy to Canada’s most prestigious stages, including Toronto’s iconic Massey Hall and the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Now, armed with a growing catalog of hits that are uniquely his own, Ben Dunnill is stepping into the spotlight as an authentic powerhouse entertainer who honors the golden age of music while fiercely rewriting its future.

About:

The Chicago Tribune called it “good old lyric-driven rock,” and the lyrics for this show come from Charles Dickens’ 1843 holiday classic A Christmas Carol. The words will stay unchanged but they’ll find new relevance and meaning in songs played through amps turned up to 11.

Marley’s spooky visit. The Cratchits’ joyful dinner. Scrooge’s ultimate redemption. You get the idea.

Mortal Fools has dusted off other classics and rocked them out in front of standing-room only audiences, starting with Paradise Lost Reimagined, then Shakespeare’s Sonnets Reborn, The Odyssey Retold and, most recently, Wonderland Revisited. A sixth show, Frankenstein Reanimated, is in development.

The band is made-up of seasoned Chicagoland musicians who regularly play around town, so you may have seen them in other shows. This project is a labor of love, if not restitution for all the homework they skipped.

They’ll only come together once to play A Christmas Carol Regifted. Come join them this holiday season and party like it’s 1843.

About:

Jackson and Lucy are excited to share the stage for this special evening at Epiphany. It will be the first time that they will be coheadlining a bill and collaborating on a setlist. In 2023, Jackson recorded and released “Swept in Snow” (lead single “Christmas in Chicago”), a straight-ahead jazz album filled with fresh takes on Christmas classics as well as some original holiday tunes from Jackson’s catalog. Lucy's multi-genre holiday album, “Singing Christmas”, ranked No. 1 on the Americana Charts in January of 2023. Howard Reich (Chicago Tribune) wrote “the austere beauty of her version of “Silent Night” …and the imploring quality of her singing in “Rise Up, Shepherd and Follow…(is) a testament to what the holiday signifies." We hope you’ll join us for this performance!

Band members:

Jackson Jay Kidder, vocals & bass

Lucy Smith, vocals

Doug Ferdinand, piano

Juan Pastor, drums

Greg Ward II, alto saxophone
