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 Zimbabwean-American singer Lady Chi (Chiedza Kundidzora). She is a fixture in the Grateful Dead world, touring with Melvin Seals and JGB, as well as many other funk/soul projects.
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.

About PIWA:
PIWA is an afro alternative artist here to make you move to the beat of her drum without fail when it comes to the rhythm and world she takes us with through her music; with her deep tones, clever wordplay, and undeniable stage presence, She stands as a Zimbo [ Zimbabwean ] rockstar to the core! From Zimbabwe, to the Bronx, to Dallas, and now Chicago, Piwa has paid homage to all the homes she has known while creating her own authentic flow that caters to the tales left to tell. She also pulls inspiration from artists such as 070 Shake, Doja Cat, Lauryn Hill, Andre 3000, Kanye and many more that have shown her the path through genre bending within the music scene.
ROTTEN is the second EP to be released by PIWA coming to listeners this spring, May 1st . This sonic experience is a 6-track EP that captures moments of stillness- “ these are times when I felt like I was breaking and witnessing it through a TV screen. Rotting is knowing you can conquer the world, but you sit and continue to sit. Within stillness, there is chaos in the mind; But through this, we learn that stillness isn’t emptiness; it’s a space where growth quietly takes root.” This project embraces the beauty that can emerge from life’s darkest, most stagnant moments, proving that even in decay, something new is always being born; anger based in fear is not a curse, it’s a hitlist waiting to be made.
Join us at The Epiphany center April 10 for an unforgettable night to catch the first live experience of PIWA’s new project ROTTEN accompanied by a live band and special guest performances.
About Alexis Plaen:
Alexis Plaen is a Chicago-based alt pop singer-songwrtier set to make her mark with her genre-defying debut album, Enjoy the Void. Originally from Minneapolis, Alexis blends her electronic pop rock sound, introspective lyrics, and multi-media artistry to build her surreal world of the Void, which chronicles her epic journey through an existential crisis. Alexis' lyrics explore themes of existentialism in a capitalist society, the search for meaning amongst chaos, connection, and transformation. She searches for the divine in the digital and the ethereal in the mundane, creating cinematic experiences that speak to a dreamscape of the human condition. By combining emerging technology with timeless stories and mediums, Alexis' world invites listeners to both escape reality and confront it at the same time.
Enjoy the Void's philosophical themes are deeply influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and a personal tragedy in 2023 when Alexis' apartment burned down during the making of the record. Although Alexis lost everything she owned to the fire (including her pet cat), she slowly rebuilt as they finished the album and her resilience and healing journey have become infused into the fabric of the Void. Her stories have become more than just songs— they are a rallying cry for change, personal reflection, and growth from an unyielding spirit. From sculpting her own props to hosting immersive events for fans, Alexis is just getting started and has no plans to slow down.

About Dawson Hollow:
Dawson Hollow is an American Indie-Folk-Rock band formed in 2016 by 5 siblings who have been touring, writing and making music together since 2001. Dawson Hollow’s unique brand of entertainment fuses the cinematic colors of pop, nostalgic string elements of Americana and iconic 5-part blood harmonies. Based out of the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, Dawson Hollow’s high energy performances offer supporting lyrics that carry a hopeful undertone.
About Susie McCollum:
With old soul vulnerability and a rich vocal palette, indie artist Susie McCollum lives at the intersection of raw emotion and refined craft. Originally from New York City and now based in Chicago, McCollum blends timeless songwriting with a contemporary edge - drawing inspiration from artists like Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, and Amy Winehouse.
A lifelong student of music, McCollum’s 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 is also a self-taught guitarist - a pandemic hobby turned renewed sense of artistic purpose.
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. She has worked alongside artists like Christopher, Nep, and Marielle Kraft, while most recently co-writing “I Should Lose You” with indie-pop artist Jenny Kern. In addition to singing, writing, and producing, Susie has also honed her skills as a recording engineer - enabling her to truly inhabit every layer of the creative process.
Susie released her highly anticipated single “Abigail” on October 24th, whose "dreamy hush works medicinally; it doesn’t push catharsis, it coaxes it" (Uranium Waves). The work is fueled by finding a home within oneself and asking: what does it mean to truly grow up… and do we ever?
Through heartfelt melodies and soul-stirring lyrics, Susie invites listeners into a shared space of introspection and re-invention - marking her a singular and invaluable talent in today’s music scene.

About:
Grammy-nominated Victor Garcia is a musical force to be reckoned with…
Examiner.com’s Neil Tesser calls him “one of the most exciting young musicians.” Chicago Tribune’s Howard Reich says that he “stands out as an ebullient soloist offering a formidable technique and a radiantly polished tone.” JazzChicago.net’s Brad Walseth regards him as a “young lion trumpeter.”
He’s as versatile as he is creative. His trumpet talent heralds his international acclaim. He sings, plays percussion, and his songwriting, arrangements and charts have led him to professorial positions at Roosevelt University, Loyola University and the University of Illinois in Chicago.
The lineup of greats he’s performed with speaks for itself: Aretha Franklin, Arturo Sandoval, Spoon, Monty Alexander, Wynton Marsalis, Victor Manuelle, Nicholas Payton, La India, the Temptations, Steve Turre, BeBe Winans, Tito Puente, Jr., Paquito d’Rivera, Christian McBride, Randy Brecker, Branford Marsalis, The Isley Brothers, and Dr. John. He released his debut album, The Grind/The Groove, in 2018 and he’s recorded on dozens of other albums, three of them Grammy-nominated.

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:
Ellie Rui 瑞 is a Chicago-based jazz drummer from Columbus, Ohio. She moved to Chicago shortly after graduating from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in the Spring of 2024. At Oberlin, Rui 瑞 studied with NEA Jazz Master Billy Hart for all 4 years.
Her compositions can be characterized by her percussive approach, even when writing for other instruments.

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 Zimbabwean-American singer Lady Chi (Chiedza Kundidzora). She is a fixture in the Grateful Dead world, touring with Melvin Seals and JGB, as well as many other funk/soul projects.
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.

About PIWA:
PIWA is an afro alternative artist here to make you move to the beat of her drum without fail when it comes to the rhythm and world she takes us with through her music; with her deep tones, clever wordplay, and undeniable stage presence, She stands as a Zimbo [ Zimbabwean ] rockstar to the core! From Zimbabwe, to the Bronx, to Dallas, and now Chicago, Piwa has paid homage to all the homes she has known while creating her own authentic flow that caters to the tales left to tell. She also pulls inspiration from artists such as 070 Shake, Doja Cat, Lauryn Hill, Andre 3000, Kanye and many more that have shown her the path through genre bending within the music scene.
ROTTEN is the second EP to be released by PIWA coming to listeners this spring, May 1st . This sonic experience is a 6-track EP that captures moments of stillness- “ these are times when I felt like I was breaking and witnessing it through a TV screen. Rotting is knowing you can conquer the world, but you sit and continue to sit. Within stillness, there is chaos in the mind; But through this, we learn that stillness isn’t emptiness; it’s a space where growth quietly takes root.” This project embraces the beauty that can emerge from life’s darkest, most stagnant moments, proving that even in decay, something new is always being born; anger based in fear is not a curse, it’s a hitlist waiting to be made.
Join us at The Epiphany center April 10 for an unforgettable night to catch the first live experience of PIWA’s new project ROTTEN accompanied by a live band and special guest performances.
About Alexis Plaen:
Alexis Plaen is a Chicago-based alt pop singer-songwrtier set to make her mark with her genre-defying debut album, Enjoy the Void. Originally from Minneapolis, Alexis blends her electronic pop rock sound, introspective lyrics, and multi-media artistry to build her surreal world of the Void, which chronicles her epic journey through an existential crisis. Alexis' lyrics explore themes of existentialism in a capitalist society, the search for meaning amongst chaos, connection, and transformation. She searches for the divine in the digital and the ethereal in the mundane, creating cinematic experiences that speak to a dreamscape of the human condition. By combining emerging technology with timeless stories and mediums, Alexis' world invites listeners to both escape reality and confront it at the same time.
Enjoy the Void's philosophical themes are deeply influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and a personal tragedy in 2023 when Alexis' apartment burned down during the making of the record. Although Alexis lost everything she owned to the fire (including her pet cat), she slowly rebuilt as they finished the album and her resilience and healing journey have become infused into the fabric of the Void. Her stories have become more than just songs— they are a rallying cry for change, personal reflection, and growth from an unyielding spirit. From sculpting her own props to hosting immersive events for fans, Alexis is just getting started and has no plans to slow down.

She has worked alongside artists like Christopher, Nep, and Marielle Kraft, while most recently co-writing “I Should Lose You” with indie-pop artist Jenny Kern. In addition to singing, writing, and producing, Susie has also honed her skills as a recording engineer - enabling her to truly inhabit every layer of the creative process.
Susie released her highly anticipated single “Abigail” on October 24th, whose "dreamy hush works medicinally; it doesn’t push catharsis, it coaxes it" (Uranium Waves). The work is fueled by finding a home within oneself and asking: what does it mean to truly grow up… and do we ever?
Through heartfelt melodies and soul-stirring lyrics, Susie invites listeners into a shared space of introspection and re-invention - marking her a singular and invaluable talent in today’s music scene.

About:
Grammy-nominated Victor Garcia is a musical force to be reckoned with…
Examiner.com’s Neil Tesser calls him “one of the most exciting young musicians.” Chicago Tribune’s Howard Reich says that he “stands out as an ebullient soloist offering a formidable technique and a radiantly polished tone.” JazzChicago.net’s Brad Walseth regards him as a “young lion trumpeter.”
He’s as versatile as he is creative. His trumpet talent heralds his international acclaim. He sings, plays percussion, and his songwriting, arrangements and charts have led him to professorial positions at Roosevelt University, Loyola University and the University of Illinois in Chicago.
The lineup of greats he’s performed with speaks for itself: Aretha Franklin, Arturo Sandoval, Spoon, Monty Alexander, Wynton Marsalis, Victor Manuelle, Nicholas Payton, La India, the Temptations, Steve Turre, BeBe Winans, Tito Puente, Jr., Paquito d’Rivera, Christian McBride, Randy Brecker, Branford Marsalis, The Isley Brothers, and Dr. John. He released his debut album, The Grind/The Groove, in 2018 and he’s recorded on dozens of other albums, three of them Grammy-nominated.

His work has appeared in major cultural spaces and media outlets, including the Chicago Tribune, EarMilk, and Ambient Vibez.

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 Moyana:
MOYANA makes music that makes a difference. In the face of historical erasure, she creates an accessible living archive for her listeners through intentional lyrics and blending of R&B, hip-hop, and jazz.

Baritone’s stirring tribute to America’s civil rights leaders on the Trumpet Awards Red Carpet pre-show in Hollywood, California, left a lasting impact on millions, as he celebrated the “Warriors of Justice” and paid homage to legendary figures such as creator and founder of the Trumpet Awards and the Trumpet Foundation Xernona Clayton, Civil Rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., and Ambassador Andrew Young at the esteemed Dolby Theatre.
If it’s on the main stage at a summer festival in Chicago an intimate New York music venue or stadium arena in front of thousands, you can be sure Baritone delivers a fantastic red carpet show!

About:
The Great Filipino Songbook beckons you into the Golden Age of Filipino song, where tender kundimans and stirring compositions shaped a people’s identity. Reimagined by Lou Ella Rose and SamaSama Project for today’s listeners, these rediscovered gems by visionary Filipino composers also tell an almost-forgotten shared history between the Philippines and America, reflecting the Asian American journey of migration, resilience, and cultural exchange. Featuring guest artists Patricia Mosley, Tirzah Joy, Sonia Oyola, Melissa Flavia and R. Darryl Thomas with Howie Pfifer on the piano, this performance brings vibrant arrangements and rarely heard stories that resonate with all of us today.
SamaSama Project is composed of Lou Ella Rose (lead vocals), Baron Cabalona (keyboards), Ran Sevilla (rhythm guitar), John Kniker (lead guitars), EJ Luna (bass guitar), and Migs Dimaculangan (drums)

About:
Ellie Rui 瑞 is a Chicago-based jazz drummer from Columbus, Ohio. She moved to Chicago shortly after graduating from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in the Spring of 2024. At Oberlin, Rui 瑞 studied with NEA Jazz Master Billy Hart for all 4 years.
Her compositions can be characterized by her percussive approach, even when writing for other instruments. She generally follows a jazz form but her chord changes and rhythms are intentionally non-standard. In her performances, she often shares parts of her life story in the hope of bringing people together. Rui 瑞 likes to be around musicians other people that remind her of the kind of human being she wants to be.
Notable performances by Rui 瑞 since moving to Chicago include: recording with Pulitzer Prize winner, Susie Ibarra, as a member of Ibarra’s CHAN Percussion Ensemble; playing with Colin Heshmat and Emma Dayhuff at Merriman’s Playhouse in South Bend, IN; playing with Chicago-based artist Elysia Marie as a member of her band; playing music at Holy Ground Sessions at Healthy Hood Chicago; and doing a feature set with her group The Ellie Rui 瑞 Ensemble for Millie Ahearn’s Jam Session, and again on a Saturday evening at Clara.
Rui 瑞’s upcoming projects include releasing her first album next year, recording her second album this winter, and continuing to work with her ensembles and bands in Chicago!
