About Walker: 

Walker is the stage name of Walker Landgraf, a multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter based in Chicago. Walker grew up in Santa Monica, where he listened to D’Angelo and Prince from a young age. As he entered adulthood, he studied jazz guitar, moved to Manhattan, and taught himself to sing and produce. The results? A series of confident pop songs for which Walker wrote, performed, recorded and mixed nearly every part. Fresh off a move from Manhattan to Chicago, he released the EP My Love on Majestic Casual, bringing together subtle guitar fireworks, experimental flourishes and a tastefulness recalling classic songwriting. His early R&B influences provide a foundation throughout, from the striking “Hands (feat. Satchy)” or the prismatic sunburst of “Cindy”. His newest music — as of yet unreleased — expands his range while tightening his focus, with his most immediate, mature compositions to date.

About Elisa Latrice: 

“Rock-a-baby Funk. That’s my genre! An eclectic fusion of Rock, R&B, Blues, and Funk!”

Since 2009, Elisa has cascaded Chicago’s music scene, energizing audiences at Refuge Live, Elbo Room, Underground Wonder Bar, Uncommon Ground, the Chicago Auto Show, & Taste of Chicago.

Disco, Funk, R&B, Pop and Motown are few of the main genres that inspire her music, style and appearance. She often performs at many of Chicago’s notable venues and makes television appearances on local shows including Good Day Chicago on FOX32 and Windy City Live on ABC7!

Elisa has pursued opportunities that put her at the fore-front of the music and entertainment scene. After several appearances as an extra on the hit FOX show “Empire”, she was soon tapped to feature as a background vocalist for Snoop Dogg during a scene of the show, which she describes as an incredible experience!

She continues to blaze the trail for new and aspiring artists with appearances and performances on-and-off camera. Recently featured on the FOX32 Chicago “Rising Star” news segment, she was quoted as the “inspiration for the series” to feature up and coming Chicago artists. She is blazing a trail for other artists, while continuing to set new and exciting trends in the industry!

Elisa Latrice is a star on the rise! She continues to team up with fellow singers and songwriters, headlining projects and collaborations that introduce a genre founded by her and appreciated by all.

“My music and performance is an experience.” She says. “One that connects my fans on a vibrational and spiritual level. I’m no ordinary artist and my music reflects that, just as much as my live performances!”

About: 

To have the ability to sing is something that many of us are naturally gifted from a very early age. Very few individuals, though, are able to connect such ability to their own emotions and translate them into singing and songwriting.  Brigitte Rios Purdy has felt that need to sing about her own inner feelings and emotions since she was a child. Born and raised in Los Angeles Brigitte Purdy has soon expressed the great desire to become a singer, with a particular inclination to soul, blues and R&B. It didn't take too long for the American singer and songwriter, thanks to her pure and silky singing voice, to be noted and asked to perform on the same stage with artists like Walter Trout, Sugaray Rayford, Tim Bogart Dionne Warwick, and Dolly Parton amongst others. Singing background vocals for such artists as The Who and Paul Rodgers. 

​Once the ice of the music business was broken, Brigitte Rios Purdy's next step into connecting completely with music at 360 degrees was starting to write her own songs. Her profound, love and admiration for the late great B.B. King pushed the American artist to compose her very first song called Lucille, Don't You Weep, a blues ballad with clear references to King's most favorite guitar and the intensity of the sound coming from one of the most famous blues guitars of all time. 

​The song became the perfect platform for the singer and songwriter to combine her wonderful and unique voice with her new found talent as a lyricist and to inspire her to write more songs that would allow Purdy to show her phenomenal vocal skills. Encouraged by the positive comments of the music press worldwide, since her debut single, the American artist has then never stopped writing and recording new material. Another of the original songs coming from Purdy's repertoire, currently on constant heavy rotation on some of the biggest blues/rock radio in America, is her brand new single called Blues Angel. The tune is a superb blues ballad with tinges of jazz, with a flawless vocal performance from Purdy. The Californian artist is, though, not just a great blues interpreter but she has also written and recorded few catchy songs with a more blues/rock approach, like Rise Like The Water and Shot Heard Around The World, part of the original material belonging to the repertoire of this rising star in the music business.

The Ursa Ensemble is a Chicago-based chamber music ensemble that seeks to present uncommon music to our audiences in unique ways, in unconventional places, and with individual interpretations.  The Ursa ensemble has performed at a variety of locations across the Midwest including Constellation Chicago, Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, The Green Mill Jazz Lounge, DePaul University School of Music, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Indiana University South Bend, the DANK Haus, Tavern of Fine Arts, The Musical Offering, Uncommon Ground, PianoForte Studios, and the Narloch Piano Studio.  They have been highlighted in festivals such as Chicago Artists Month, The Ravenswood Art Walk, Narlochpolooza, and the Thirsty Ears Festival.  For the 2019-2020 season, Ursa Ensemble has the honor of being Ensemble in Residence at the Musical Offering in Evanston, Illinois. 

Ursa Ensemble members are fiercely dedicated to making complex music less intimidating, but still deeply moving, to the uninitiated listener.  Their flagship Collaboration in Concert (CIC) series gives listeners the opportunity to create an art piece under the tutelage of a professional painter, poet, author, photographer, or other artist, while gaining direction from the ensemble’s live music. CIC events have led the Ursas into all sorts of arenas, allowing them to work with and perform for an extremely diverse audience: elementary school students at Catalyst Circle Rock Charter School in Chicago’s low-income, Austin neighborhood; college students at Harold Washington College in Chicago’s Loop; young writers-in-the-making at 826CHI; even trendy bar-hoppers at the Tavern of Fine Arts in St. Louis.   Past CIC events have involved collaborations with artists in a wide range of expertises, including photographer Michael Schoeneweis, author Michael San Gabino, printmaker Sarah Adams, painter Lewis Achenbach, and painter Melanie Brown.

With the instrumentation of Clarinet, Violin, and Cello, Ursa Ensemble enjoys exploring and arranging a vast repertoire spanning thousands of years, from the Renaissance to present day. The Ursa Ensemble is also committed to furthering the impact and longevity of classical music by actively commissioning and performing new works.  They have premiered works by composers such as Pierce Gradone, Jonathan Hannau, Jordan Jenkins, and Jeff Kowalkowski, all of which were written specifically for the ensemble.

The Ursa Ensemble consists of some of the best young musicians in the Chicago area, all of whom are dedicated performers and artist-teachers. Praised for her “gleaming tone and Hollywood glamor,” violinist Rachel Brown is the Associate Principal Second Violin of the South Bend Symphony Orchestra, and has given over a dozen world premieres of contemporary solo and ensemble works.  She is the Chair of the Music Department at the Chicago Academy for the Arts, and also teaches at The Musical Offering.  Described as “alluring” by the Wall Street Journal, cellist Veronica Nettles focuses on performance in classical chamber music (she was a founding member of the Kaia String quartet) and world music collaborations (she is a member of a Cuban Charangas ensemble).  Also, she  maintains a private studio at the DePaul University Community Music Division.  Joe Sanchez, clarinetist, is a founding member of the Vandoren Sponsored Lake Effect Clarinet Quartet, and he can be heard regularly with a cross continental spread of orchestras, ranging from Las Vegas to Kalamazoo!

About: 

Barry And The Fountains is an eclectic Alternative Soul act with Deep Soul roots, a distinct literary voice, and a haunting, subtle edge. Brought together in 2017 by Barry Jean Fontenot, a Louisiana-born singer-songwriter and community organizer, the group quickly became a fixture of the Chicago DIY scene, and developed a reputation for their raw, soulful sound, calling to mind such artists as Charles Bradley and Otis Redding, as well as the calm boldness of their lyrical style. From R&B adaptations of Romantic poems to Rock Operas about Sumerian legends, Barry And The Fountains don’t mess around when it comes to synthesizing their diverse influences into a style all their own.

About: 

Raised in the northern suburbs of Chicago, Meghan has been pursuing music nonstop since her first piano lesson at the age of 6. After much music participation in high school, she went on to Hope College knowing she wanted to study music, but unsure of much else. It was here that she discovered her love for jazz, and began to grow more and more interested in the genre. After graduating with a Bachelor’s in Music and Spanish and receiving various school awards and accolades, Meghan attended Western Michigan University where she would go on to receive a Master’s degree in Jazz Performance.

Since moving to Chicago, Meghan has played and recorded vocals and piano with various projects and artists. She can be found on Gustavo Cortiñas’ Kind Regards (2022), The Sam Pilnick Project’s Adler Suite (2021), and Emily Kuhn’s upcoming album, Ghosts of Us. Recently, she made her Chicago Jazz Fest debut singing with Gustavo Cortiñas’ critically acclaimed Desafio Candente. Meghan has played Chicago venues like Fulton Street Collective, the Jazz Showcase, the Hungry Brain, the Whistler, and the Green Mill, but her music has taken her all over to places including Yellowstone National Park. In 2020, she received the Luminarts Fellowship for Jazz Voice.

Meghan’s voice has been described as “striking a satisfying balance between a breathy voice and one of depth and body” (Lydia Liebman Promotions). Thanks to her ability to both play piano and sing, Meghan has been regarded as a “secret weapon” of sorts, “sounding weightless on both” (Hannah Edgar, Chicago Reader).

In addition to performing, Meghan also teaches Music Theory at SAE Institute, located in downtown Chicago, along with private lessons in voice and piano. She has been fortunate enough to study with jazz pedagogues and masters such as Tammy McCann, Jeremy Siskind, Sunny Wilkinson, Brian Coyle, Steve Talaga, and Edye Evans Hyde.

Hailing from Chicago’s north-side, Pat Owen-Leary is a composer/performer and singer/songwriter who bridges the gaps between music in all genres. A product of the Old Town School for Folk Music and the Chicago High School for the Arts, Owen-Leary is a well-versed guitarist in the styles of bluegrass, jazz, rock, and classical music.

By the end of his B.M., Owen-Leary had his works performed by members of Fifth House Ensemble, A Far Cry, and The Cleveland Orchestra.

About Matthew Fries: 

Matthew Fries is a joyful voice on the piano with a unique and recognizable style that is authentically rooted in the tradition of the classic jazz pianists, while still looking forward to the future of the music and the instrument.

As a composer and leader he has performed his own music extensively, recording ten albums of mostly original compositions. His music has been described as playful and hopeful, introspective, full of joy and wonderment, and awash with tonal colors. But it is his deeply swinging piano style and collaborative spirit that have also made him an in-demand sideman for both instrumentalists and vocalists. He has toured worldwide, appears on scores of recordings, and his work has been described as “the best jazz accompaniment I’ve seen in a cabaret in years” (The New York Times), and “the crispest rhythm section imaginable” (The London Times).

Matthew is a dedicated educator and he continues to teach lessons, masterclasses, and clinics throughout the US and abroad. Since 2017 he is a proud part of the Western Michigan University faculty as Professor of Jazz Piano where he teaches private lessons, coaches jazz combos, and teaches classes in jazz theory, improvisation, composition and arranging.

Born in Selinsgrove, PA into a musical family, his father was his first piano teacher. Matthew was interested in the freedom of musical improvisation at an early age, but it was a class in college that sparked his interest in jazz piano. He has a bachelor’s degree from Ithaca College and a master’s from the University of Tennessee where he was mentored by the Memphis jazz piano great, Donald Brown. It was Donald who saw the talent and commitment in Matthew and encouraged him to pursue music in NYC. He moved there in 1994 and quickly established himself as a recognizable and integral part of the jazz scene – performing in major clubs, recording, and touring while calling NYC home for more than twenty years. Through Donald Brown he also became connected with pianists James Williams and Mulgrew Miller who continued to mentor him in NYC and help him develop his personal style and deep connection to the tradition of jazz piano.

Matthew won the Great American Jazz Piano Competition in 1997 and was runner-up in the American Pianists Association Jazz Piano Competition.

He has recorded five albums and toured internationally with his collaborative, original-music trio TRI-FI – a group that Jazz Review says, “takes on the Jazz Trio challenge and delivers a ‘knock out’ punch,” and about whom Downbeat Magazine says, “the clairvoyance of these three members can be mesmerizing.”

He has a 20-year collaboration of touring, recording and composing with singer-songwriter Curtis Stigers as part of his band.

He has shared the stage with a long list of jazz performers that includes Curtis Stigers, Stacey Kent, Ann Hampton Callaway, DeeDee Bridgewater, Vincent Herring, Steve Wilson, Joel Frahm, Steve LaSpina, Dave Samuels, Claudio Roditi, Terell Stafford and many others.

About Devon Sandridge: 

Devon Sandridge is a Chicago-based vocalist who has an affinity for unearthing the nuances of lyrics and passionately sharing those stories on stage. His musical journey began as a young child in the church choir. Devon’s true passion for singing was realized as a teenager upon discovering the legendary baritone, Johnny Hartman. Since discovering Hartman, he has only moved forward. Nine years in the Air Force afforded him the opportunity to travel around the world, explore the deep history of the jazz art form, and add to his musical repertoire while learning what it means to display discipline and dedication. This also provided him a space to find solace and joy while enduring some of the hardships of being in the military service.

Upon returning to the U.S. from being overseas in the military, he studied voice with Chicago Jazz legend Henry Johnson. It was during this time that he amassed an extensive jazz repertoire and developed what Chicago Jazz Magazine describes as” A remarkable bass-baritone voice, which shares similar touch, phrasing, and vibrato with that of Johnny Hartman.”

Along with his unique range, he has an array of other musical influences varying from Joe Williams and Billie Holiday to Etta James and Stevie Wonder. His love for the music sustains his drive to keep the tradition alive amongst the younger generation that he is a part of. Devon has performed at many musical events and music venues including The Jazz Showcase, Andy’s Jazz Club, City Winery and Oil Lamp Theater and is quickly becoming a mainstay on the Chicago music scene. His new album “Storyteller” is set to release to the public in 2022.

"Experience Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” in what the Chicago Sun Times has called “an extraordinary intimate evening of live storytelling and music” performed by actor/violinist Frank Babbitt. “The tale delivered the way it was meant to be, in Dickens’ language” using the original reading text performed by Dickens himself. “Enhanced by Babbitt’s resonating voice and rich violin,” a one man performance with live musical underscore.

Rediscover the timeless story of Scrooge and Marley, the Cratchits, various ghosts and an old man’s life altering encounter with the true spirit of Christmas. Your imagination will be the pathway into a powerful shared experience as the story is brought to vivid life in a dramatic reading with festive holiday music from the time of Dickens."

Frank Babbitt has been sharing his dramatic reading of Dickens' Carol with audiences since 2007. These performances have frequently been given as benefits in partnership with care and educational organizations. 

Babbitt received an MM in Violin Performance from SUNY Stony Brook and has been a member of the Lyric Opera of Chicago Orchestra since 1995. He has appeared as actor and narrator on several Chicago stages, most notably the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre. He has been a guest artist at Millennium Park with the Grant Park Orchestra, the Rush Hour Concert Series and recently with the Rembrandt Chamber Players. In addition to his degrees in music, Frank studied acting at the Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting in NYC.
