Artist Bios

DJ Blix

Born and raised in Chicagoland, DJ BLIX (Griffin Tome) spins minimal, raw techno with an emphasis on layering and deep bass. His tight, clinical mixing style allows tracks to speak while delicately juggling multiple decks at once. DJ BLIX constructs his sets like a movie — rising, falling, and shifting in energy, each moment flowing naturally while staying under tight, deliberate control.

quade

quade wants one thing from the dancefloor: pandemonium. Through his time spiraling on dance floors -- to now spiraling on the decks, quade invites you to run through the jungle with him. With fast basslines, intense kicks, and subtle grooves, he rejects stillness, and encourages flailing.

Hören

A performer and music educator, Hören brings a wealth of musical diversity and knowledge to his showmanship on the decks. Drawing from many musical references, Hören delivers an exciting and curated journey to his audiences. His sonic style has been developed with an undercurrent of electrifying rhythms, vocals, and cultural flavors with a primary focus on movement and groove.

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.

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.

About The Transference:

The Transference is an indie rock/power pop band from Chicago. Dark themes get paired with playful lines and reflections on inter- and inner-connectedness. Because if we’re going down, we might as well have some fun and love people as best we can. 

Initially started as a handful of demo songs written in the middle of the pandemic after the breakup of a previous band, The Transference was founded by singer/songwriter/keyboard player Laura Hollingsworth and former bandmates Alex Karan (drums) and MJ Johnson (bass). 

Featuring evocative lyrics layered over pop rock rhythms, the band's pop sound doesn't lack for complexity or attention to detail. Lush harmonies and melodic lines from lead guitarist Justin Wheeler and vocalist Andrea Santiago weave in and out between synths, vibraphone, harmonium, pedal steel, and more. Like an easter egg hunt; the band's playful lyrics and attention to detail make songs worth a second listen.

About Stray Vines:

Original rock band based in the Chicago area making music influenced by classic rock, Americana and grunge.

About:

GORAN IVANOVIC – Solo Acoustic Guitarist & Composer

Goran Ivanovic is a genre-defying solo guitarist whose original compositions draw from a rich tapestry of influences—classical, Balkan, cinematic soundtracks, and contemporary harmonic language. Rooted in the acoustic tradition yet constantly evolving, his music blends intricate fingerstyle technique with deeply emotional storytelling.

Born into the cultural crosscurrents of Eastern Europe and shaped by years of classical training and global collaboration, Goran's solo work is a deeply personal exploration of identity, place, and sound. Each piece is a journey—at once intimate and expansive—merging the precision of classical music with the soulful intensity of Balkan folk and the evocative depth of film scores.

This season, Goran will debut a never-before-performed original set, offering audiences a first glimpse of his new material. Additionally, he is set to release a highly anticipated solo record later this year.

Performing on both classical and acoustic guitars, Goran’s playing is virtuosic and lyrical, captivating listeners with fluid dynamics, harmonic complexity, and rhythmic drive. He performs exclusively on masterfully crafted instruments: acoustic guitars by Collings Guitars and classical guitars by renowned Granada luthier Juan García Fernández. These exceptional instruments are integral to his artistry, offering nuanced expression and commanding projection.

Goran’s compositions bridge tradition and modernity, showcasing the solo guitar as a profoundly expressive and complete musical language. Whether on stage or in the studio, his performances are immersive musical journeys—transcending genres and borders to resonate deeply with audiences everywhere.

Tickets: Advanced - $20 (+$4.72 fees, including tax)  | Day of Show - $25 (+$5.12 fees, including tax)

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

About:

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.
