About Lindsay Anderson:

Chicago-based singer-songwriter Lindsay Anderson is best known for her work with the critically acclaimed dream pop, chamber-rock group L'Altra. Now Anderson is back with her new solo project -- the conceptual album Forgiving. Inspired by the romantic entanglement of surrealist painters Leonora Carrington and Max Ernst as well as her own experience, the album is a heroine's journey told through music, exploring themes of artistic identity, power dynamics, feminine self-reclamation and defining one’s voice within male-dominated creative spaces. Lindsay has shared the stage with the Cowboy Junkies and Todd Rundgren (Park West), indie musicians The Stars, Bill Callahan/Smog and Cat Power, electronic artist Damo Suzuki and Drag City groups Edith Frost and Bonnie Prince Billy. Forgiving is her eighth studio album, after Same Waves (2018).

About:

lakefx: 

lakefx is the newborn brainchild of Chicago-based artists Mithra & relativity lounge. A pure homage to dub-rooted music & all its intricacies, the two layer live production elements onto the art of crate-digging to create a lush environment for dancers & enthusiasts alike. From downtempo to techno & beyond, no spaced-out niche is left untouched. 

Inspired by countless excursions on Lake Michigan, Lakefx brings the hypnotic ambiance of flowing water to the dancefloor.

Mentrek:

The Mentrek Project has been brewing since 2022.

What started as a series of modular jam sessions and late night hangouts began to take shape over 2023 and 2024, as they invited more of our friends to spend an evening banging out dance tunes. Over the years it's grown to involve 10 artists, unified under the vision of club-ready, bass- heavy tracks molded by Nuan Sonar and Thysbe.

As they’ve progressed and grew through these collaborations, a system emerged. Hours of recordings of eurorack synthesizers, analog drum machines, and vintage records would then be cut up and arranged. Each track aims to have a solid progression, morphing between techno, dubstep, breaks, and footwork. We refuse to be put in a box, and are constantly experimenting and stealing ideas to refit to our own ideals.

RED40:

Lake Effect’s merry pranksters Swesdo & Rimjickles have joined forces to present a dive into the fantastic. WARNING: RED40’s whimsical, dialed, and gyration inducing grooves may result in: erratic movements, existential crisis, involuntary joy amongst loved ones, and the urge to smoke 4 or 5 CBD darts. You may leave with the urge to worldbuild amongst your groupchat, no matter how many messages it takes to drive your point home. Let's kick off the evening in shplendrick style and soak up the RED40…

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

About:

Nogu Svelo!, the legendary punk rock band originated in Russia and is now based in the United States. Known for their energetic sound and fearless political stance, the band continues to use music as a force for change, raising awareness about the ongoing war in Ukraine and standing against oppression.

Fresh off the sixth leg of their world tour, which spanned 65 gigs across 64 cities in Europe, Asia, North and South America, Nogu Svelo! has not only brought their music to a global audience but also raised $100,000 for Ukraine through their performances.

A Legacy of Resistance and Musical Innovation

With a career spanning 35 years, Nogu Svelo! has built a cult following since their beginnings in 1988 as part of the famous Moscow Rock Laboratory. The band has released 16 full-length albums, 71 official music videos, and has won multiple awards across Russia and Europe, including MTV Russia’s Best Soundtrack Award.

While Nogu Svelo! originally gained recognition in Russia, the band is now fully based in the U.S., delivering English-language versions of their biggest hits alongside brand-new material recorded with their American lineup.

Frontman Max Pokrovskiy—the band’s lead singer, bassist, and principal songwriter—has been an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin’s regime for years. Due to his support for Alexei Navalny and his unwavering anti-war stance, he has been banned from performing in Russia. Since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Pokrovskiy has released ten powerful anti-war anthems (“We Don’t Need War,” “Russia, Go Home!”, “Ukraine”...) were included in the album “Amputation”.

Art as Activism: Global Recognition for Nogu Svelo!

Beyond their musical success, Nogu Svelo! has been recognized for their politically charged music videos, which have won multiple international awards. Their recent works, “Prison Romance” and “Happy New Year, My Son,” have been celebrated at film festivals such as:

● DOC LA: Los Angeles Documentary Film Festival

● Los Angeles Cinematography Awards (LACA)

● Cinema World Fest Awards

● New York State International Film Festival

Music with a Mission: Humanitarian Efforts

In addition to their musical activism, Nogu Svelo! has actively fundraised for Ukraine through various efforts, including:

● Raising funds for World Unite for Ukraine via an online concert.

● Supporting a refugee shelter in Tbilisi, Georgia.

● Participating in the GCI Planet Charity Event: Peace, Music, and Art Soiree.

● Raising funds for two ambulances for Ukraine during their European tour via the charity Zeilen van Vrijheid.

● Contributing to the purchase of a mobile hospital for Ukraine through a charity talk show in Cyprus.

● Supporting a children’s hospice in Ukraine during a performance in Amsterdam.

In August 2023, Nogu Svelo! performed at the first independent anti-war film festival, AWIIFF, playing a powerful open-air concert for over 1,000 people in Estonia.

A Call to Action Through Music

Nogu Svelo! continues to stand against war, censorship, and tyranny, using their music as a rallying cry for freedom. As the world watches the ongoing conflict, the band remains dedicated to spreading their message of resistance and unity through the most powerful medium they know—music.

“Lullaby For The World”

New Album Release Tour

“Prepare to be mesmerized on many levels” - Boston.com 

World-renowned cellist and composer Ian Maksin will release his new album, “Lullaby For The World”, on November 13, 2025. This moving collection of lullabies from around the globe are reimagined through Maksin’s singular artistry and delivered as an important message of love, peace, and unity in an era marked by turbulence. 

“To me, a lullaby is a symbol of parental love and proof that peace can be transmitted from one person to another through music. Given the state of the world right now, I believe we all need a lullaby to regain the peace we so desperately need,” says Maksin. Beyond their healing ability, Maksin sees lullabies as archetypal songs that carry our collective musical DNA through generations. 

“Lullaby For The World,” Maksin’s eighth career album, features ten traditional lullabies in languages including Farsi, Hindi, Finnish, Kyrgyz, Japanese, French, Ukrainian, Armenian, and Ladino, alongside four original instrumental lullabies composed by Maksin. With each track, Maksin reworks ancient melodies with the resonance of a single cello, using loop pedal layering, octave effects, and ambient delay to create his signature “one-man orchestra” technique. The result is a sonic mosaic that feels both intimate and expansive with deep cello vibrations engaging listeners on a visceral level and transcending linguistic barriers. 

Every lullaby on the album carries a culturally rich story. “Jhoola Jhoole,” a devotional song Maksin first encountered in a Krishna temple in New Delhi, became a centerpiece after his travels to India and the Himalayas earlier this year. During a recent tour in Armenia, the birthplace of his mother, Maksin discovered “Ari Im Sokhag,” a hauntingly beautiful and minimalistic traditional piece he describes as one of the most stirring moments on the album.   

Often described as a “musical citizen of the world,” Maksin has built his career by blending classical training with a passion for cultural exploration. He has performed across continents, learning traditional songs in their native lands and bringing them into his ever-evolving repertoire. With “Lullaby For The World,” Maksin continues this lifelong mission of unity through music. 

About Ian Maksin 

Ian Maksin is a cellist, composer, arranger and multilingual vocalist whose artistry defies borders. Known for his soulful blend of classical, world, and contemporary sounds, he has performed across the globe, infusing each project with stories, traditions, and voices of the cultures he explores.  

Born into a multi-cultural family in the former USSR, Maksin began playing guitar and piano at age three and cello at age six at the School for Gifted Children in Leningrad. At 16 years-old he ventured to the US to continue studies at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. After working for many years in the classical genre including a three-year tenure with the New World Symphony in Miami, Maksin took a more diverse musical path, including playing rock, blues, jazz and world music. 

For the last ten or so years Maksin has been touring as a solo artist performing more than one hundred and fifty concerts a year on all continents including a number of free concerts for school children in different countries. He has also been donating a portion of the tour proceeds to different charities helping refugees and families in countries affected by war.

About Basement Collective:

Born from years of shared history and chance encounters, Basement Collective emerged in 2019 as a progressive-fusion instrumental powerhouse. Founding members Jesse Wade, Sean Alvarez, and Mike Tabor's creative chemistry dates back to their time studying music together at Ball State University starting in 2014. The ensemble’s unique blend of sound was later matured by the addition of the two Evans. Evan Reyes met Mike after coming to a Shure Jazz Orchestra rehearsal early. A quick jam between the two led to the invitation to meet Jesse and Sean. Evan Borkstrom, who plays in a Doors tribute band with Mike’s brother, was invited to collaborate, which soon led to full induction into the group.

Driven by a philosophy of continuous artistic refinement, each rehearsal is used as an opportunity to push for the collaborative creation of unique, intricate, and highly dynamic music. All of their tunes are written together live, through trial-and-error experimentation and relentless artistic examination. The band doesn't believe in "completion," constantly revisiting and layering new rhythmic and harmonic elements to ensure their music possesses its signature richness and density.

The five-piece showcases its masterful orchestrations through a broad sonic spectrum, which includes electrified trumpet, flugelhorn, flute, and saxophone, alongside keys, electric guitar, key bass, synthesizer, and drums. Every bar reveals the continuous push to vary the sonic textures and shift harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic responsibilities among the instruments, creating an immersive, evolving soundscape. Rhythmically, the collective pushes boundaries with mixed meter passages and intricate metric modulations designed to keep the listener perpetually engaged, wondering where “1” is, all while maintaining an undeniable groove. Their music fuses vast knowledge of jazz and classical theory alongside a love for progressive rock and metal elements, evoking a sustained interest in the harmonic tapestry and melodic detail of their work.

The latest activities from Basement Collective surround the fostering of their growing popularity, while producing their next singles, which will soon lead to the culmination of their debut album release.

About Vision in the Rhythm:

Now with their 6-piece group, Vision in the Rhythm will be debuting songs from their upcoming record Fishin in the River. The band never ceases to have uplifting & energetic performances balancing humor & soul for a cross-genre party.

Inside/Out is our innovative, interactive event series that showcases works in progress and invites you INSIDE the creative process. Each event includes performance of new work-in-the-making, conversation with the artists, audience participation activities, and the opportunity for you to shape the new work with your feedback and input.
