About Indigo x Nudje:

Indigo X Nudje will be an evening of musical exploration and storytelling. We invite You to join us for two sets of original compositions and arrangements all rooted in soul music and storytelling. This show is an extension of Indigo Sessions, a show series founded by Aliyah Jones, meant to celebrate and nurture the artistry of Black Women and Queer artists. Indigo is excited to watch the series evolve with each new space it exists within. 

Indigo is a musical collective led by Aliyah Jones. Aliyah Jones is a vocalist, composer, and curator based in Chicago, IL. The importance of music was instilled in her at an early age. Every milestone, celebration, or simple journey to school was scored with anything from the sultry serenades of Whitney Houston to the invigorating bounce of house music. Aliyah began her formal training at the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artist and most recently  graduated from the Jazz Studies program at DePaul University. The music of Indigo centers her love of storytelling and exploration, while honoring the traditions of Jazz, RnB, and Neo-Soul. 

Trombonist, composer Emma Blau, DJ Nick Davis and Pianist, composer, producer Julius Tucker join forces to create Nudje - an interdisciplinary trio merging live instruments, samples, and genre-blurring soundscapes to create a sonic language that’s as raw and complex as the world we live in. Through a fusion of poetry, news, and groove, we seek to reflect our shared realities and offer listeners a chance to alchemize grief into something transformative. Each performance is an invitation - a nudge - to lean into deeper connection: with our bodies, our communities, and the land we inhabit.

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.

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.

Dark Canyon (LP release) with Brokeback

About Dark Canyon:

Continuing the legacy of the spaghetti west, DARK CANYON presents a new vinyl release titled Long Days, Pleasant Nights. Inspired heavily by Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, LDPN has been conceived as a metaphysical western - a spacious exploration of grainy western landscapes. From delay swells to haunting pedal steel, mellotron passages to hypnotic percusion, you just may find yourself transported to a spring reverb soaked ghost town.

About Brokeback:

Brokeback began in 1995 as a solo performance outlet for Douglas McCombs. At the time McCombs’ bands Eleventh Dream Day and Tortoise had both achieved a level of sonic density that left him wanting to perform something quieter and more delicate. Some called Brokeback “ambient”. That is a stretch, but it did have a lot of space and was based around fairly simple melodies played on the Fender Bass VI. Over the years McCombs collaborated with a variety of people and the membership of Brokeback expanded or contracted, depending. This has led to the current line up, a democratically organized outfit consisting of Pete Croke on bass, James Elkington on guitar and Areif Sless-Kitain on drums along with Douglas McCombs on guitar and occasionally- the Fender Bass VI. This is a rock band but the emphasis still skews towards the quiet restraint that was the initial intent.

About Ine'a J:

Ine’a J, also known as The Pen Fairy, singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. Chicago’s very own rising gem has been shining in the music scene with her sultry voice, illustrious pen game, and radiating music.

Debuting her first single “4EVA” in December of 2021, Ine’a is well on her way as her projects have already received press from Lyrical Lemonade, The Chicago Reader, Vocalo Radio, Real Ones, The Ghetto Flower, & more. “Planet J” her preeminent 6 track EP, released in 2022, created such a captivating era for the artist and her supporters performing around Chicago and leading into heavily anticipated future releases. Her second studio project "The Colors" EP of 2023, has left such an impact as she embodies true craftsmanship. The artist connects emotions and colors, leaving us to relate through a musical body of art. This led to her first headliner at Reggie's Chicago and stamping her mark with The Chicago Reader. In 2025 the artist follows Planet J with a coinciding space themed yet soulful project titled “4”, continuing her supporters on her musical journey followed by her second headliner at Epiphany Center for the Arts. Singles such as “Wait 4 U”, “Promises”, &“10/10” (mastered by Grammy award winning & 32 nominee James Auwarter), paved the artist into a new era of pop-R&B.

Not only is she musically talented, but Ine’a is well rounded as an educated scholar holding an MBA and BSBA from Loyola University Chicago and the University of Missouri at Columbia. Ine’a J is also a businesswoman with her brand “The Repertoire” on ineaj.com encapsulating all of her creative talents including fashion, music, modeling, as well as e-commerce retailing. The Repertoire has received press from Vox Magazine, Who We Are Now Project 2020, and The Christian Science Monitor. Her brand promotes “Embrace the uncomfortable & Walk with purpose” as something we should all be reminded by.

Shadow Puppetz Presents: Devil's in the Details

Date: Saturday, September 20th, 2025

Doors & Showtime: 1:00PM

Tickets: General Admission - $40 | VIP - $75 (Reserved seat with optimal viewing of the battles and performances)

About:

Join us for Devil’s in the Details, Chicago’s inaugural two-day robot and animation dance festival. Featuring live music, art, dance workshops, technology demonstrations, a showcase competition, and a head-to-head dance battle with a unique twist, Devil’s in the Details reimagines how robot and animation dance is presented through a fresh multidisciplinary approach.

Highlights:

● 1v1 Robot & Animation Dance Battle: Battles are head-to-head competitions where dancers freestyle to random music by a live DJ. Devil’s in the Details combines this with a unique twist where the Top 16 dancers will freestyle to specific concepts that demonstrate an in-depth knowledge and creative exploration of robot and animation dance.

● Busking-Inspired Showcase Competition: Robot and animation dance are rooted in busking, also known as street performance. Devil’s in the Details reimagines this tradition in an invitational showcase style competition. Spectators will be invited to participate by voting for their favorite performance through a ticket-in-the-hat system.

● Dance Workshops and Tech Demos: The pioneers of robot and animation dance created these styles by emulating the technology of their time. Devil’s in the Details blends dance education with technological insight in workshops and tech demos designed to show dancers how to explore and generate their own movement inspired by first hand reference material, rather than merely emulating the movement of other dancers.

Devil’s in the Details will take place on Saturday, September 20, 2025 in The Sanctuary at Epiphany Center for the Arts. Doors open at 2 PM, prelims for the 1v1 battle will begin at 3 PM, and the main event will begin at 5 PM.
