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.

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

About:

SJOD has been called the preeminent livetronica IDM dark horse of Chicago. A hardware electronic musician in the Chicago zone for the last decade, SJOD has always focused on pushing boundaries in live performance and in improv-focused electronic music. Citing influences from Sun Ra, Aphex Twin, The Grateful Dead, and Alice Coltrane, SJOD brings a cerebral approach to performing electronic music and bringing hardware electronics to life. SJOD is a cofounder of the independent Chicago record label Truth Zone Records, performs in psych-rock band Curls Ultra, and leads his own jamtronica band - SJOD’s Lot Justice - when not performing solo. Love Isn’t Supposed To Hurt is SJOD’s sophomore album and the first time his music has been pressed to vinyl. The album is an ethereal and sentimental approach to an “RnB” influenced take on vocal-focused songs centered on love, spite, and heartbreak. Love Isn't Supposed To Hurt explores themes of the cosmos and finding serenity in a chaotic world while still having the light and humorous touch that SJOD has been known for prior in his music and performances. A run of 100 12" vinyl records is now available for preorder on SJOD's Bandcamp, pressed locally in Chicago, IL at Smashed Plastic Record Pressing.

About Haruhi Kobayashi:

Haruhi Kobayashi’s life in sound is woven through her debut album, Maybe You Should Talk To Someone. Growing up in Tokyo, she was singing from the moment she could speak, played taiko drums as a child, and first released music eight years ago as a teen J-pop singer-songwriter. Pulling at these past threads, she explores the themes of bi-cultural identity, tradition, and existentialism while seeking to liberate sound from preconception. Her work distills experimental pop, classical composition, and avant-garde songwriting through voice, bass, and electronics.

His artistry has graced venues from Le Bilboquet in Paris to the National Theater of Havana, and he has performed alongside legends including Bobby McFerrin, The Sounds of Blackness, Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam, and Doc Severinsen. He has opened for music legends, Ramsey Lewis, Roberta Flack, Chris Botti, just to name a few. His voice and compositions have been heard on the BBC, Disney, HBO soundtracks and on national tv and radio commercials for Golden Graham Cereal, Skittles Candy and Whirlpool washing machines.

In addition to his performance career, Bruce is a dedicated educator and cultural ambassador. He is the founder of the Freedom Train Ensemble and Executive Director of The Evolution of African American Music, a celebrated lecture-performance series presented at institutions such as the Havana Conservatory, the University of Havana, and festivals throughout the U.S. and abroad. Bruce’s discography includes Connections, One Living Soul, and Bruce A.
