About Katelynn Tomney:
A native New Yorker, Katelynn made the move to Chicago 7 years ago. Her previously recorded EPs can be heard under the band name "Kate and the black roses", where she is the songwriter, lead vocalist and guitarist. She just released her newest EP “For You” with a coinciding music video shot in Morocco.
She can also be heard singing with her husband in his band “K-Nein” that is an original project, and occasional Grateful Dead cover band. Kate and K-Nein also preform as an acoustic duo, with a single up on all streaming platforms called “Extraordinary ride”, and have an album forthcoming.
Currently Kate lives with her husband and their cattle dog Blume on their farm in Michigan, where they have a music school and are setting up for their first music festival.
Kate is so excited to host the second annual Joni Mitchell tribute and to share her love of Joni Mitchell’s song catalogue with amazing musicians and audiences alike!
“Case of you” was the first song Kate every heard by Joni Mitchell, but “All I want” holds a special place in her heart and she even quoted it in her wedding vows to her husband- “all I really want our love to do, is to bring out the best in me, and in you”
About Erin Daigle:
Erin Daigle is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter. As the daughter of a guitarist/composer, Erin began her musical journey at a young age. Since then, she has moved on from her father’s studio as a background singer, to forging her own way as a vocalist. This former choral educator has graced the stages of Chicago with her soulful and sincere covers of familiar tunes. Graduating from her time as a cover artist, she has now become a thoughtful lyricist in her own original songs. Stayed tuned for this upcoming artists as she begins her solo career.
About Heather Mall:
Heather Mall is a singer-songwriter and music teacher from Chicago. Telling stories through song is her passion and showing up as your authentic self is her motto, and that’s why Joni Mitchell is an inspiration to her.
Heather discovered the genius works of Joni after her music was mentioned several times on the beautiful TV show, ‘This Is Us’. Heather started really honing in on her own songwriting abilities, and was instantly captivated by Joni’s poetic lyricism. A song she’d heard before like Big Yellow Taxi, was seen in a whole new light after truly listening to the lyrics and Heather’s favorite song, Both Sides Now, became a staple song in her life.
Thank you to everyone here tonight, Heather’s family and friends, and to Joni for this universal and eternal art she’s shared with us.
You can find more of Heather’s music on social media @heathermallmusic

About Mike Gronsky:
After a decade of touring and recording as a guitarist with other bands and artists, Mike Gronsky’s debut full-length album, “In The Springtime” is a declaration of vulnerability and hope through hardship. These ten songs illustrate death and rebirth through the lens of our land, our habits and our deepest relationships. Mike’s diverse and emotive guitar playing shines through this record while complimenting his soaring yet sensitive vocal melodies and texturally rich arrangements.
As a relatively-new resident of Nashville, Tennessee, Gronsky is stepping forward with watermelon-sized choruses, an all-star cast of musicians, and intimate, energetic performances featuring everything from synths to slide guitar. This perfectly imperfect “folk record with some hair on its chest” pulls no punches while simultaneously leaving the listener more hopeful than when they arrived. Centering the theme of Gronsky’s debut record, the title track boasts, “In the springtime, the earth is ripe for change, and so am I”.
About Codetta South:
Codetta South is the music of Brennan White, a Nashville native who is known for writing deeply intimate and thought provoking songs, peppering in tasteful guitar playing and musical moments via his keen ear for production and musical movement.

About:
Produced by Chicago co-founder of Jam Productions, Arny Granat – OUR HOUSE has been wowing Chicago audiences since its debut in March 2021 followed by several SOLD OUT performances at Le Piano in Rogers Park, Arcada Speakeasy in St Charles, the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue, Davenport’s and the historic Jazz Showcase.
Granat saw a burning desire for LIVE MUSIC kindled by the restrictions of the pandemic and went on to form OUR HOUSE which embodies an eclectic group of talented musicians.
Irene Michaels: LEAD SINGER
Irene Michaels, a timeless Chicago icon, has captivated audiences for decades with her diverse talents and positive energy. She defies ageism in the entertainment industry with grace, hard work, persistence, and natural talent, continuing to inspire at all ages.
Born in Chicago, Irene's passion for entertainment began early, leading her to success as a singer, dancer, and model. At 21, she won "Miss Photo Flash," launching a modeling career and a successful modeling agency.
A champion equestrian since childhood, Irene still rides and competes. She also made her mark in Hollywood, appearing in General Hospital and movies like Home Alone 2 and Killer Klowns From Outer Space.
Irene became an author and lifestyle blogger with her "I On…" brand, exploring beauty, luxury, and entertainment. She created her beauty line, "I On Youth," and wrote "I On Beauty," inspiring many, especially women over 50.
In her late 70s, Irene became a House Music Diva with the hit song "I Like Rain," which won "Best Pop Song of the Year" at the Josie Music Awards. She signed record deals with TRAX Records and Tribeca Records, earning Grammy nomination consideration and several other accolades.
Irene's live one-woman shows in Chicago and New York sell out. She shares her life stories and inspires audiences. Her social life is vibrant and filled with high society and celebrity events. Reflecting on her journey, Irene invites us all to pursue our passions and let inspiration guide us, just as she has throughout her remarkable life.

About Lake Effect
Lake Effect Records invites you to celebrate a night of friendship, community and dance.
We’re building a soundsystem! Many of you have attended our open air free parties, and we’ve been graciously using our friend Dee’s speakers. We’re now starting the process of fabricating our own, compact, high fidelity sound system for use in parks and smaller venues! March 29th we’re gathering to enjoy a stellar lineup of residents who are all integral components to our parties, and masterful behind the 1’s and 2’s. We’re using all funds received from the night to aid us in the process of building this system. With this system, we aim to bring you far more free parties and fundraisers with higher fidelity sound! Anything helps, but most importantly come dance with us on the 29th!
Otherself [Live]
Eddy [Otherself]: lake effect’s psy-bandit has been hoarding, and refining hours of the boomiest, squiggliest grooves this side of the Mississippi. Saturday he will be hauling his echo realm resonator and interdimensional transmission receiver into the Sanctuary, and transporting us to an’Other’ dimension.
DJ Scari x Swesdo x Rimjickles [mandatory rim check]
High velocity cowgirl DJ Scari and party rocking Swesdo team up with swag surfer: RimJickles. A riptide will be hurling through the sanctuary as the trio take us through a sonic experiment ready to ignite the dancefloor.
2tipz
Megan AKA “2tipz” is a chicago based DJ. Cutting her teeth in the Chicago and Denver bass scene, Megan’s sharpened her skills behind the decks and is sure to bring us formidable grooves. Megan's had quite the impact on the team from teaching Relativity Lounge how to spin, providing a space for so many to enjoy music over the years, insane baking skills, and creating an array of insane visual art. Megan has proven to be an asset to not only the Lake Effect community, but anywhere she graces with her presence.
Daynables
Helping kick off Lake Effect’s first parties, booking residents to play their first shows before Lake Effect Records inception, Dayna will be kicking us off this evening. A music aficionado, a “DJ’s DJ”, and now budding producer, Dayna’s going to lay the rock solid foundation for an evening of dance and reverie.

About Marcus Bailey:
Marcus Bailey is a versatile singer, songwriter, and recording artist based in Chicago, Illinois. Originally from Pickerington, Ohio, Marcus’s deep connection to music began at an early age. He was profoundly influenced by the timeless melodies of The Beatles and Elton John, which his grandparents would play, as well as the contemporary pop sounds his mother would often have playing around the house.
These early musical experiences sparked a lifelong passion that would ultimately shape his career. In 2019, Marcus moved to Chicago to pursue his dream of becoming a professional recording artist. He enrolled at Columbia College Chicago, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Jazz and Popular Music (CJP BMus) in May of 2023. During his time in Chicago, Marcus had the opportunity to collaborate with other prominent musicians including Morris Hayes of New Power Generation, Woody Goss of Vulfpeck, and Nick Tremulis of Nick Tremulis and the Prodigals, among others. These collaborations helped refine his sound and further solidified his place in the city’s vibrant music scene.
Marcus’s original music spans a broad spectrum of genres, from pop and rock to singer-songwriter ballads, blues, and country. His work draws inspiration from a diverse array of iconic artists, such as Ed Sheeran, Stevie Wonder, Chris Stapleton, and Elton John, blending contemporary sensibilities with classic influences. In addition to his solo work, Marcus has contributed his talents to other projects, providing songwriting, arranging, and vocal work for groups like DZ Riley and Disco Lemonade.At the heart of Marcus’s music is a desire to connect with his listeners on a deeper emotional level. He uses his songs to explore the complexities of life’s ups and downs, seeking to understand and express the emotions that define the human experience.
Through his lyrics, he hopes to provide listeners with something they can relate to, offering both solace and insight as they navigate their own journeys. Marcus released his debut EP, In The End, in May 2023, a project that showcases his unique blend of genres and heartfelt storytelling. He is currently working on new music, with plans to release more projects in 2025. As he continues to grow as an artist, Marcus Bailey remains committed to creating music that resonates deeply with his audience, reflecting both his personal experiences and the shared emotions that unite us all.

About Proxoxie:
Before Chicago, Proxoxie hit the Detroit scene with 2021 EP “Dream Sequence,” in which a serial killer archetype yearns for deliverance in pop melodies over trap beats. Drawn to the sonic genre-blending of scenecore, yet repelled by its subculture, Proxoxie eclipsed her identity with uncanny personas inspired by the true crime, internet horror, and fanfiction she blogs about, finding not just escape from a toxic community, but agency in the vengeful victim to cold-case criminal narrative. After Proxoxie’s second concept, “Fanfiction EP” her first brush with burnout left her longing to push the boundaries of alternative music further than individualized reactions to disturbing grotesquerie. SoundCloud’s exclusive “Live, Laugh, Lobotomy,” in a series of singles, charted the path for Proxoxie to depart from angst and dig deeper beside trusted collaborators. Her debut, “Darling, It Wouldn’t Be A Party Without You,” packs Proxoxie’s authentic voice into a hardstyle EDM punch. That record gave us realism—forthcoming “Hotel Proxoxie” stages surreal journeys to self-acceptance in seven sinful acts, over twinkling elevator muzak. Now, with “everysecondeverymoment” PROXOXIE explores the genre of trace in her newest unreleased album.
About Sybyr:

About Quentin Heartz:
Quentin Heartz is an artist based in the Southside of San Antonio, Texas who’s created a loyal following from all over the world through multiple songs in genres such has rap, indie and EDM that have been uploaded since 2015.

After months of recovery and a year hiatus, Quentin came back into the music scene full force by dropping more singles, performing more shows and going viral multiple times through showcasing his unique style in hopes of showing his peers you can overcome any obstacle, no matter how difficult. Unpacking the layers of Quentin Heartz you’ll find a genuine admiration for the early 2000s, 3D art and obscurity. Quentin heartz integrates his experiences in his songwriting in multiple genres, cultivating a style laced together with melodically sung vocals. - F. R

About the Show:
How can a musical community come together to emotionally process life in a changing and forever-changed environment? The three compositions in this performance explore responses to this question by composers Scott Rubin, Alissa Voth and Ben Zucker as well as videographer Zack Sievers. Performers seek to create a shared musical space for reckoning with themes of nature, loss, nostalgia, erosion and erasure on multiple planes. Interspersed between these pieces are short film clips exploring themes of ritual, healing, and environmental change in which both the musicians from the trio and some of their friends engage with the rapidly changing ecosystems of the Warren Dunes.
Composing the Climate is a continuation of pianist Cacie Miller's doctoral project. This set of pieces was commissioned and collaboratively prepared by Miller and Missing Piece (Dan Galat and Kelly Quesada). Each work takes a distinct approach to facing the changing climate. Rubin’s trio narrates the history of human “progress” and its destructive march in a work that interleaves notated and improvised movements. Voth’s work sensitively explores “Solastalgia,” mourning of an anticipated loss. Zucker’s piece uses the instrumentation of the piano trio to model the concept of subscendence, as the trio members shift between listening to themselves and each other as they move through Zucker’s indeterminacy-sprinkled score.
These commissions and their preparation were funded in part by the Illinois Arts Council.
Cacie Miller, piano
Cacie Miller has relied on the sounds and repertoire of the piano to help her make sense of the world around her since a young age. She is drawn to compositions packed with colorful storytelling and especially those that seem to push through the edges of reality. She relishes these qualities in the music time honored composers such as Beethoven, Liszt, Debussy and Bartok, and in contemporary composers such as Lera Auerbach and Reena Esmail. Sometimes Cacie improvises and composes on her instrument.
Cacie’s musicianship was fostered by several teachers throughout her university studies. She studied piano with William Heiles, Rebecca Penneys, and Robert Glover, theory with Steve Laitz, and harpsichord with Charlotte Mattax Moersch. She holds degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (DMA in Performance and Literature), the Eastman School of Music (MA in theory pedagogy), Houghton University (MM in piano), and the University of Southern Maine (BM in piano). These studies informed Cacie’s playing and her own teaching through work on body/emotion integration at the piano, use of analytical practices to inform interpretive decisions, and practicing intentional listening to prepare communicative performances.
With hope of working toward sustainable cultural practices, Cacie has been actively working on the project Composing Our Climate, which began during her doctoral research. This project focuses on performer-driven commissioned chamber works written to work through emotional reckonings with the climate crisis.
Dan Galat, violin
Dan Galat is a Chicago-based violinist and violist, a classically trained performer comfortable across a wide range of styles and techniques. Working primarily with living composers, Dan can be found with Chicago's new music ensembles such as Fulcrum Point New Music or as the concertmaster of Chicago Composers Orchestra. Dan Galat is the founding member of Missing Piece with cellist Kelly Quesada, a Chicago music ensemble that endeavors to commission new musical works and works from other artistic disciplines on themes that inspire others to connect with their community, care for our environment, listen deeply to ourselves and others, and speak out against injustice.
Dan Galat is active across a variety of styles, including Baroque music with the Bach Cantata Vespers, or as a recording musician, recently with Manuel Cinema in their short film Future Feeling. Dan was the violinist, violist, and backup vocalist for the 24-show premiere in Chicago of Illinoise, the adaptation of Sufjan Stevens's album into a musical now on Broadway. Dan has freelanced with many orchestras including Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra, Louisiana Philharmonic, and Columbus Indiana Philharmonic (concertmaster). Dan received his BM and MM at Indiana University, studying with Kevork Mardirossian, Desiree Ruhstrat, and Joseph Swensen.
Kelly Quesada, cello
Kelly is a Chicago transplant who continuously finds herself inspired by the city, its history, and its potential. She has 2 college degrees in classical cello performance and has lived and worked in three distinct regions of the US (Alabama, Oregon, Ohio) before landing in Chicago. She divides her time between practicing and performing music, teaching music, helping out in her communities, and trying to find little pockets of joy.
Scott Rubin, composer
Scott Rubin is Chicago-based interdisciplinary artist and improvising violist whose work interrogates relationships between sound and movement through analog and digital means. His recent projects have involved collaborations with musicians and dancers, often incorporating interactive acoustic/electronic improvisation, expanded performance practices, motion-sensing data, and live video. In these projects, he engages themes of intimacy, control, and the sublime.

Alissa Voth (she/her) is a composer and paper artist based in Chicago IL. Her creative work explores narrative and the unconscious mind with an artistic focus on the voice and woven imagery. Recent works include commissions from Masso Quartet, Garden Unit, Timothy Hanley, and Tyler Harper. Additionally, her music has recently been performed by the Stare at the Sun choir, the Unheard-of Ensemble, and Seth Parker Woods. Her music has been premiered and performed at festivals and venues such as at the UT Contemporary Music Festival, Constellation’s Fequency Series, the New School of Music, the Cortona Sessions for New Music, the Isador Bajic School, the deCordova Sculpture Museum, the Boston New Music Initiative, and the North American Saxophone Alliance. She is a PhD candidate at the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University, where she focuses her studies on music cognition and composition pedagogy. She formerly attended the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, which she now returns to as composition faculty for their summer composition intensive program.
Ben Zucker, composer
Ben Zucker uses music to speculate on the systems and shapes of change, which has lead to a wide-ranging career as a composer, multi-instrumentalist improviser, producer, and cultural worker, with contributions to experimental scenes across North America and Europe. Acclaimed as a "master of improvisation" (IMPOSE Magazine), and “more than a little bit remarkable” (Free Jazz Blog), their work includes “stirring compositions…built on a lifetime of musical curiosity” (Chicago Reader), performed by artists including Third Coast Percussion, Ensemble Dal Niente, David Moliner, Khorikos, the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, Distractfold Ensemble, and Musica Nucleo Nova. As a performer, he utilizes vibraphone, brass, keys, voice, and electronics across styles including with musicians such as Anthony Braxton, Gareth Davis, the Vocal Constructivists, Karen Borca, Rinde Eckert, and Beth Orton, and makes frequent local appearances as an ensemble contributor and bandleader of experimental jazz quartet Fifth Season and creative music collective Mad Myth Science, the latter called “the next generation of Chicago jazz” by the Quietus. Following PhD studies at Northwestern University, they continue to live in Chicago, working as a freelance musician, lecturer, President of New Music Chicago, and curator for Elastic Arts’ Improvised Music Series.
Zack Sievers, videographer
Zack Sievers’ research background in time consciousness, haptics, and temporal aesthetics (PhD Philosophy, Villanova 2024) informs cinematography aesthetics for Composing the Climate’s new performance. Sievers creates 3 silent monochrome films, all shot at Lake Michigan dunes locations, gravitating around questions of time, nature, and community. Strangers and wanderers meet in the wilderness of sand to share tea, amidst paying creative, sacred attention to the landscapes and wildlife. It is a question of both memory and imagination: how do the dunes, the leaves, the travelers, the waves, the sun and the sand, measure and record time? Recent and upcoming works in film by Sievers include directing the feature Slovene mockumentary The Good Curse of Bird Mummy Moon (releasing 2025), co-directing full album music videography with Gustavo Cortiñas' for The Crisis Knows No Borders (releasing 2025), and co-creating, writing, and producing the short sci-fi Wizdom (2024). Other notable works include “Haptic Spider: Non-Human Eye”, an experimental documentary of Spider Festival (2022), full album music videography for Gustavo Cortiñas’ Desafío Candente (2020), experimental archival documentary work on Bara Kolenc’s Izumitelj na zemlji (2021), screenwriting "Golden Voices" (2018), and directing “Haptic Cinematography” (2017) and “Closed Frame” (2014).

Showtime: 8:00PM
Tickets: Free admission! RSVP BELOW
About Fernando Jones:
If one word could describe this Chicago Blues Hall of Famer and Keeping the Blues Alive Award winning "creative" named Fernando Jones it would be rare. This multi-instrumentalist started off by playing the Blues on the guitar when he was just four years old. Today, he's still going strong as a bandleader. This world-class, internationally known American Bluesman, educator and songwriter was born to loving Mississippi parents on the Southside of Chicago. Jones is one of a few living African American Bluesmen to have a tribute album of his compositions done by a band on a different continent; Jona's Blues Band of Rome, Italy is the group.
Jones has performed his compositions from basement parties to the University of Hawaii to The Smithsonian Institute to the Conservatory of Music in Pescara, Italy to nightclubs in Havana, Cuba. Here is a sample of his scholarly writing in the Journal of Popular Music Studies and awards. In January 2020, the National Association of Music Merchants invited him to host a lecture on the impact of Blues Pedagogy. As a lecturer Fernando Jones has established Blues Camps for youths on the continents of Asia, Europe, North America and the Caribbean island of Cuba. Here's an interview on him done by The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library.
As evident of his work(s) demonstrate; here’s why Fernando Jones, a Keeping the Blues Alive Award recipient and Chicago Blues Hall of Fame member is worth investing in as a performer, lecturer and/or an artist-in-residence. Fernando Jones is original in his approach to music with a focus on the Blues and the performing arts.

About Vopli Vidopliassova:
40 Years from Ukraine to the World – Vopli Vidoplyassova 2025 North American Tour
For four decades, Vopli Vidoplyassova (VV) has been Ukraine’s ultimate cultural ambassador, with anthems sung by heart by every Ukrainian. As the first Ukrainian band to tour internationally and gain global fame, their music has crossed borders, bringing the spirit of Ukraine to the world through their explosive fusion of punk, rock, and folk.
From the Soviet underground to global festival stages, VV has shaped the sound of generations and remains a symbol of Ukrainian identity and resistance. They made history performing at WOMAD, Sziget, Montreux Jazz Festival, Woodstock Poland, and Rock am Ring. Over the years, VV has collaborated with world music icons like Goran Bregović, Manu Chao, and Khaled, continuously pushing boundaries. Their influence is undeniable—Eugene Hütz of Gogol Bordello calls them his musical teachers, a legacy now featured in a recent Gogol Bordello documentary.
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.

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.
Follow her along her music journey directly on instagram @ineajofficial to enjoy a little fairy dust everywhere she goes.

About Katelynn Tomney:
A native New Yorker, Katelynn made the move to Chicago 7 years ago. Her previously recorded EPs can be heard under the band name "Kate and the black roses", where she is the songwriter, lead vocalist and guitarist. She just released her newest EP “For You” with a coinciding music video shot in Morocco.
She can also be heard singing with her husband in his band “K-Nein” that is an original project, and occasional Grateful Dead cover band. Kate and K-Nein also preform as an acoustic duo, with a single up on all streaming platforms called “Extraordinary ride”, and have an album forthcoming.
Currently Kate lives with her husband and their cattle dog Blume on their farm in Michigan, where they have a music school and are setting up for their first music festival.
Kate is so excited to host the second annual Joni Mitchell tribute and to share her love of Joni Mitchell’s song catalogue with amazing musicians and audiences alike!
“Case of you” was the first song Kate every heard by Joni Mitchell, but “All I want” holds a special place in her heart and she even quoted it in her wedding vows to her husband- “all I really want our love to do, is to bring out the best in me, and in you”
About Erin Daigle:
Erin Daigle is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter. As the daughter of a guitarist/composer, Erin began her musical journey at a young age. Since then, she has moved on from her father’s studio as a background singer, to forging her own way as a vocalist. This former choral educator has graced the stages of Chicago with her soulful and sincere covers of familiar tunes. Graduating from her time as a cover artist, she has now become a thoughtful lyricist in her own original songs. Stayed tuned for this upcoming artists as she begins her solo career.
About Heather Mall:
Heather Mall is a singer-songwriter and music teacher from Chicago. Telling stories through song is her passion and showing up as your authentic self is her motto, and that’s why Joni Mitchell is an inspiration to her.
Heather discovered the genius works of Joni after her music was mentioned several times on the beautiful TV show, ‘This Is Us’. Heather started really honing in on her own songwriting abilities, and was instantly captivated by Joni’s poetic lyricism. A song she’d heard before like Big Yellow Taxi, was seen in a whole new light after truly listening to the lyrics and Heather’s favorite song, Both Sides Now, became a staple song in her life.
Thank you to everyone here tonight, Heather’s family and friends, and to Joni for this universal and eternal art she’s shared with us.
You can find more of Heather’s music on social media @heathermallmusic

About Mike Gronsky:
After a decade of touring and recording as a guitarist with other bands and artists, Mike Gronsky’s debut full-length album, “In The Springtime” is a declaration of vulnerability and hope through hardship. These ten songs illustrate death and rebirth through the lens of our land, our habits and our deepest relationships. Mike’s diverse and emotive guitar playing shines through this record while complimenting his soaring yet sensitive vocal melodies and texturally rich arrangements.
As a relatively-new resident of Nashville, Tennessee, Gronsky is stepping forward with watermelon-sized choruses, an all-star cast of musicians, and intimate, energetic performances featuring everything from synths to slide guitar. This perfectly imperfect “folk record with some hair on its chest” pulls no punches while simultaneously leaving the listener more hopeful than when they arrived. Centering the theme of Gronsky’s debut record, the title track boasts, “In the springtime, the earth is ripe for change, and so am I”.
About Codetta South:
Codetta South is the music of Brennan White, a Nashville native who is known for writing deeply intimate and thought provoking songs, peppering in tasteful guitar playing and musical moments via his keen ear for production and musical movement.

About:
Produced by Chicago co-founder of Jam Productions, Arny Granat – OUR HOUSE has been wowing Chicago audiences since its debut in March 2021 followed by several SOLD OUT performances at Le Piano in Rogers Park, Arcada Speakeasy in St Charles, the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue, Davenport’s and the historic Jazz Showcase.
Granat saw a burning desire for LIVE MUSIC kindled by the restrictions of the pandemic and went on to form OUR HOUSE which embodies an eclectic group of talented musicians.
Irene Michaels: LEAD SINGER
Irene Michaels, a timeless Chicago icon, has captivated audiences for decades with her diverse talents and positive energy. She defies ageism in the entertainment industry with grace, hard work, persistence, and natural talent, continuing to inspire at all ages.
Born in Chicago, Irene's passion for entertainment began early, leading her to success as a singer, dancer, and model. At 21, she won "Miss Photo Flash," launching a modeling career and a successful modeling agency.
A champion equestrian since childhood, Irene still rides and competes. She also made her mark in Hollywood, appearing in General Hospital and movies like Home Alone 2 and Killer Klowns From Outer Space.
Irene became an author and lifestyle blogger with her "I On…" brand, exploring beauty, luxury, and entertainment. She created her beauty line, "I On Youth," and wrote "I On Beauty," inspiring many, especially women over 50.
In her late 70s, Irene became a House Music Diva with the hit song "I Like Rain," which won "Best Pop Song of the Year" at the Josie Music Awards. She signed record deals with TRAX Records and Tribeca Records, earning Grammy nomination consideration and several other accolades.
Irene's live one-woman shows in Chicago and New York sell out. She shares her life stories and inspires audiences. Her social life is vibrant and filled with high society and celebrity events. Reflecting on her journey, Irene invites us all to pursue our passions and let inspiration guide us, just as she has throughout her remarkable life.

About Lake Effect
Lake Effect Records invites you to celebrate a night of friendship, community and dance.
We’re building a soundsystem! Many of you have attended our open air free parties, and we’ve been graciously using our friend Dee’s speakers. We’re now starting the process of fabricating our own, compact, high fidelity sound system for use in parks and smaller venues! March 29th we’re gathering to enjoy a stellar lineup of residents who are all integral components to our parties, and masterful behind the 1’s and 2’s. We’re using all funds received from the night to aid us in the process of building this system. With this system, we aim to bring you far more free parties and fundraisers with higher fidelity sound! Anything helps, but most importantly come dance with us on the 29th!
Otherself [Live]
Eddy [Otherself]: lake effect’s psy-bandit has been hoarding, and refining hours of the boomiest, squiggliest grooves this side of the Mississippi. Saturday he will be hauling his echo realm resonator and interdimensional transmission receiver into the Sanctuary, and transporting us to an’Other’ dimension.
DJ Scari x Swesdo x Rimjickles [mandatory rim check]
High velocity cowgirl DJ Scari and party rocking Swesdo team up with swag surfer: RimJickles. A riptide will be hurling through the sanctuary as the trio take us through a sonic experiment ready to ignite the dancefloor.
2tipz
Megan AKA “2tipz” is a chicago based DJ. Cutting her teeth in the Chicago and Denver bass scene, Megan’s sharpened her skills behind the decks and is sure to bring us formidable grooves. Megan's had quite the impact on the team from teaching Relativity Lounge how to spin, providing a space for so many to enjoy music over the years, insane baking skills, and creating an array of insane visual art. Megan has proven to be an asset to not only the Lake Effect community, but anywhere she graces with her presence.
Daynables
Helping kick off Lake Effect’s first parties, booking residents to play their first shows before Lake Effect Records inception, Dayna will be kicking us off this evening. A music aficionado, a “DJ’s DJ”, and now budding producer, Dayna’s going to lay the rock solid foundation for an evening of dance and reverie.

About Marcus Bailey:
Marcus Bailey is a versatile singer, songwriter, and recording artist based in Chicago, Illinois. Originally from Pickerington, Ohio, Marcus’s deep connection to music began at an early age. He was profoundly influenced by the timeless melodies of The Beatles and Elton John, which his grandparents would play, as well as the contemporary pop sounds his mother would often have playing around the house.
These early musical experiences sparked a lifelong passion that would ultimately shape his career. In 2019, Marcus moved to Chicago to pursue his dream of becoming a professional recording artist. He enrolled at Columbia College Chicago, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Jazz and Popular Music (CJP BMus) in May of 2023. During his time in Chicago, Marcus had the opportunity to collaborate with other prominent musicians including Morris Hayes of New Power Generation, Woody Goss of Vulfpeck, and Nick Tremulis of Nick Tremulis and the Prodigals, among others. These collaborations helped refine his sound and further solidified his place in the city’s vibrant music scene.
Marcus’s original music spans a broad spectrum of genres, from pop and rock to singer-songwriter ballads, blues, and country. His work draws inspiration from a diverse array of iconic artists, such as Ed Sheeran, Stevie Wonder, Chris Stapleton, and Elton John, blending contemporary sensibilities with classic influences. In addition to his solo work, Marcus has contributed his talents to other projects, providing songwriting, arranging, and vocal work for groups like DZ Riley and Disco Lemonade.At the heart of Marcus’s music is a desire to connect with his listeners on a deeper emotional level. He uses his songs to explore the complexities of life’s ups and downs, seeking to understand and express the emotions that define the human experience.
Through his lyrics, he hopes to provide listeners with something they can relate to, offering both solace and insight as they navigate their own journeys. Marcus released his debut EP, In The End, in May 2023, a project that showcases his unique blend of genres and heartfelt storytelling. He is currently working on new music, with plans to release more projects in 2025. As he continues to grow as an artist, Marcus Bailey remains committed to creating music that resonates deeply with his audience, reflecting both his personal experiences and the shared emotions that unite us all.
About Liam Taylor:
The stage has always been home for Liam Taylor. At the young age of 5, he spent most of his time acting in plays and musicals. After years of performing other people’s work, Taylor decided, as a queer man growing up in the South, it was time to tell his own stories. In his short career, he has worked with artists including Johnathon McReynolds, Erykah Badu, Woody Goss of Vulfpeck, and many more. Since releasing music in 2022, he has performed at many of the city's acclaimed festivals, including Lollapalooza, T aste of Chicago, and Market Days, and has headlined shows in New York, Dallas, and in different parts of Europe.
In 2024, he began releasing a string of singles from his first album, 26 missed calls, getting 300K+ streams across all platforms. He intends to create safe spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals across the globe through his unique, energetic and eclectic pop music.
This is merely the beginning for Taylor, so don't miss out on an opportunity to see him in one of Chicago’s most intimate venues!

About Proxoxie:
Before Chicago, Proxoxie hit the Detroit scene with 2021 EP “Dream Sequence,” in which a serial killer archetype yearns for deliverance in pop melodies over trap beats. Drawn to the sonic genre-blending of scenecore, yet repelled by its subculture, Proxoxie eclipsed her identity with uncanny personas inspired by the true crime, internet horror, and fanfiction she blogs about, finding not just escape from a toxic community, but agency in the vengeful victim to cold-case criminal narrative. After Proxoxie’s second concept, “Fanfiction EP” her first brush with burnout left her longing to push the boundaries of alternative music further than individualized reactions to disturbing grotesquerie. SoundCloud’s exclusive “Live, Laugh, Lobotomy,” in a series of singles, charted the path for Proxoxie to depart from angst and dig deeper beside trusted collaborators. Her debut, “Darling, It Wouldn’t Be A Party Without You,” packs Proxoxie’s authentic voice into a hardstyle EDM punch. That record gave us realism—forthcoming “Hotel Proxoxie” stages surreal journeys to self-acceptance in seven sinful acts, over twinkling elevator muzak. Now, with “everysecondeverymoment” PROXOXIE explores the genre of trace in her newest unreleased album.
About Sybyr:
Sybyr (formerly Syringe), is an American Trap Metal artist, vocalist, and producer from Prince George's County, Maryland. In 2015, he adopted the name Syringe and became one of the first artists in the genre of Trap Metal. Under this alias he released his most popular release to date "Anti-World" together with the collective of the same name, wich emerged from Weird CLVN. His most recognised song is also from this album, namely "I Like Being" with nearly 14 million streams on Spotify.
About Quentin Heartz:
Quentin Heartz is an artist based in the Southside of San Antonio, Texas who’s created a loyal following from all over the world through multiple songs in genres such has rap, indie and EDM that have been uploaded since 2015. In 2019, he had released music for his brief time living in Seoul, South Korea. Unfortunately, upon a hospital visit a brain tumor was discovered which led to a life changing surgery before moving back to San Antonio in 2020. After months of recovery and a year hiatus, Quentin came back into the music scene full force by dropping more singles, performing more shows and going viral multiple times through showcasing his unique style in hopes of showing his peers you can overcome any obstacle, no matter how difficult. Unpacking the layers of Quentin Heartz you’ll find a genuine admiration for the early 2000s, 3D art and obscurity. Quentin heartz integrates his experiences in his songwriting in multiple genres, cultivating a style laced together with melodically sung vocals. - F. R

About the Show:
How can a musical community come together to emotionally process life in a changing and forever-changed environment? The three compositions in this performance explore responses to this question by composers Scott Rubin, Alissa Voth and Ben Zucker as well as videographer Zack Sievers. Performers seek to create a shared musical space for reckoning with themes of nature, loss, nostalgia, erosion and erasure on multiple planes. Interspersed between these pieces are short film clips exploring themes of ritual, healing, and environmental change in which both the musicians from the trio and some of their friends engage with the rapidly changing ecosystems of the Warren Dunes.
Composing the Climate is a continuation of pianist Cacie Miller's doctoral project. This set of pieces was commissioned and collaboratively prepared by Miller and Missing Piece (Dan Galat and Kelly Quesada). Each work takes a distinct approach to facing the changing climate. Rubin’s trio narrates the history of human “progress” and its destructive march in a work that interleaves notated and improvised movements. Voth’s work sensitively explores “Solastalgia,” mourning of an anticipated loss. Zucker’s piece uses the instrumentation of the piano trio to model the concept of subscendence, as the trio members shift between listening to themselves and each other as they move through Zucker’s indeterminacy-sprinkled score.
These commissions and their preparation were funded in part by the Illinois Arts Council.
Cacie Miller, piano
Cacie Miller has relied on the sounds and repertoire of the piano to help her make sense of the world around her since a young age. She is drawn to compositions packed with colorful storytelling and especially those that seem to push through the edges of reality. She relishes these qualities in the music time honored composers such as Beethoven, Liszt, Debussy and Bartok, and in contemporary composers such as Lera Auerbach and Reena Esmail. Sometimes Cacie improvises and composes on her instrument.
Cacie’s musicianship was fostered by several teachers throughout her university studies. She studied piano with William Heiles, Rebecca Penneys, and Robert Glover, theory with Steve Laitz, and harpsichord with Charlotte Mattax Moersch. She holds degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (DMA in Performance and Literature), the Eastman School of Music (MA in theory pedagogy), Houghton University (MM in piano), and the University of Southern Maine (BM in piano). These studies informed Cacie’s playing and her own teaching through work on body/emotion integration at the piano, use of analytical practices to inform interpretive decisions, and practicing intentional listening to prepare communicative performances.
With hope of working toward sustainable cultural practices, Cacie has been actively working on the project Composing Our Climate, which began during her doctoral research. This project focuses on performer-driven commissioned chamber works written to work through emotional reckonings with the climate crisis.
Dan Galat, violin
Dan Galat is a Chicago-based violinist and violist, a classically trained performer comfortable across a wide range of styles and techniques. Working primarily with living composers, Dan can be found with Chicago's new music ensembles such as Fulcrum Point New Music or as the concertmaster of Chicago Composers Orchestra. Dan Galat is the founding member of Missing Piece with cellist Kelly Quesada, a Chicago music ensemble that endeavors to commission new musical works and works from other artistic disciplines on themes that inspire others to connect with their community, care for our environment, listen deeply to ourselves and others, and speak out against injustice.
Dan Galat is active across a variety of styles, including Baroque music with the Bach Cantata Vespers, or as a recording musician, recently with Manuel Cinema in their short film Future Feeling. Dan was the violinist, violist, and backup vocalist for the 24-show premiere in Chicago of Illinoise, the adaptation of Sufjan Stevens's album into a musical now on Broadway. Dan has freelanced with many orchestras including Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra, Louisiana Philharmonic, and Columbus Indiana Philharmonic (concertmaster). Dan received his BM and MM at Indiana University, studying with Kevork Mardirossian, Desiree Ruhstrat, and Joseph Swensen.
Kelly Quesada, cello
Kelly is a Chicago transplant who continuously finds herself inspired by the city, its history, and its potential. She has 2 college degrees in classical cello performance and has lived and worked in three distinct regions of the US (Alabama, Oregon, Ohio) before landing in Chicago. She divides her time between practicing and performing music, teaching music, helping out in her communities, and trying to find little pockets of joy.
Scott Rubin, composer
Scott Rubin is Chicago-based interdisciplinary artist and improvising violist whose work interrogates relationships between sound and movement through analog and digital means. His recent projects have involved collaborations with musicians and dancers, often incorporating interactive acoustic/electronic improvisation, expanded performance practices, motion-sensing data, and live video. In these projects, he engages themes of intimacy, control, and the sublime.

Alissa Voth (she/her) is a composer and paper artist based in Chicago IL. Her creative work explores narrative and the unconscious mind with an artistic focus on the voice and woven imagery. Recent works include commissions from Masso Quartet, Garden Unit, Timothy Hanley, and Tyler Harper. Additionally, her music has recently been performed by the Stare at the Sun choir, the Unheard-of Ensemble, and Seth Parker Woods. Her music has been premiered and performed at festivals and venues such as at the UT Contemporary Music Festival, Constellation’s Fequency Series, the New School of Music, the Cortona Sessions for New Music, the Isador Bajic School, the deCordova Sculpture Museum, the Boston New Music Initiative, and the North American Saxophone Alliance. She is a PhD candidate at the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University, where she focuses her studies on music cognition and composition pedagogy. She formerly attended the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, which she now returns to as composition faculty for their summer composition intensive program.
Ben Zucker, composer
Ben Zucker uses music to speculate on the systems and shapes of change, which has lead to a wide-ranging career as a composer, multi-instrumentalist improviser, producer, and cultural worker, with contributions to experimental scenes across North America and Europe. Acclaimed as a "master of improvisation" (IMPOSE Magazine), and “more than a little bit remarkable” (Free Jazz Blog), their work includes “stirring compositions…built on a lifetime of musical curiosity” (Chicago Reader), performed by artists including Third Coast Percussion, Ensemble Dal Niente, David Moliner, Khorikos, the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, Distractfold Ensemble, and Musica Nucleo Nova. As a performer, he utilizes vibraphone, brass, keys, voice, and electronics across styles including with musicians such as Anthony Braxton, Gareth Davis, the Vocal Constructivists, Karen Borca, Rinde Eckert, and Beth Orton, and makes frequent local appearances as an ensemble contributor and bandleader of experimental jazz quartet Fifth Season and creative music collective Mad Myth Science, the latter called “the next generation of Chicago jazz” by the Quietus. Following PhD studies at Northwestern University, they continue to live in Chicago, working as a freelance musician, lecturer, President of New Music Chicago, and curator for Elastic Arts’ Improvised Music Series.
Zack Sievers, videographer
Zack Sievers’ research background in time consciousness, haptics, and temporal aesthetics (PhD Philosophy, Villanova 2024) informs cinematography aesthetics for Composing the Climate’s new performance. Sievers creates 3 silent monochrome films, all shot at Lake Michigan dunes locations, gravitating around questions of time, nature, and community. Strangers and wanderers meet in the wilderness of sand to share tea, amidst paying creative, sacred attention to the landscapes and wildlife. It is a question of both memory and imagination: how do the dunes, the leaves, the travelers, the waves, the sun and the sand, measure and record time? Recent and upcoming works in film by Sievers include directing the feature Slovene mockumentary The Good Curse of Bird Mummy Moon (releasing 2025), co-directing full album music videography with Gustavo Cortiñas' for The Crisis Knows No Borders (releasing 2025), and co-creating, writing, and producing the short sci-fi Wizdom (2024). Other notable works include “Haptic Spider: Non-Human Eye”, an experimental documentary of Spider Festival (2022), full album music videography for Gustavo Cortiñas’ Desafío Candente (2020), experimental archival documentary work on Bara Kolenc’s Izumitelj na zemlji (2021), screenwriting "Golden Voices" (2018), and directing “Haptic Cinematography” (2017) and “Closed Frame” (2014).

About Fernando Jones:
If one word could describe this Chicago Blues Hall of Famer and Keeping the Blues Alive Award winning "creative" named Fernando Jones it would be rare. This multi-instrumentalist started off by playing the Blues on the guitar when he was just four years old. Today, he's still going strong as a bandleader. This world-class, internationally known American Bluesman, educator and songwriter was born to loving Mississippi parents on the Southside of Chicago. Jones is one of a few living African American Bluesmen to have a tribute album of his compositions done by a band on a different continent; Jona's Blues Band of Rome, Italy is the group.
Jones has performed his compositions from basement parties to the University of Hawaii to The Smithsonian Institute to the Conservatory of Music in Pescara, Italy to nightclubs in Havana, Cuba. Here is a sample of his scholarly writing in the Journal of Popular Music Studies and awards. In January 2020, the National Association of Music Merchants invited him to host a lecture on the impact of Blues Pedagogy. As a lecturer Fernando Jones has established Blues Camps for youths on the continents of Asia, Europe, North America and the Caribbean island of Cuba. Here's an interview on him done by The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library.
As evident of his work(s) demonstrate; here’s why Fernando Jones, a Keeping the Blues Alive Award recipient and Chicago Blues Hall of Fame member is worth investing in as a performer, lecturer and/or an artist-in-residence.

About Vopli Vidopliassova:
40 Years from Ukraine to the World – Vopli Vidoplyassova 2025 North American Tour
For four decades, Vopli Vidoplyassova (VV) has been Ukraine’s ultimate cultural ambassador, with anthems sung by heart by every Ukrainian. As the first Ukrainian band to tour internationally and gain global fame, their music has crossed borders, bringing the spirit of Ukraine to the world through their explosive fusion of punk, rock, and folk.
From the Soviet underground to global festival stages, VV has shaped the sound of generations and remains a symbol of Ukrainian identity and resistance. They made history performing at WOMAD, Sziget, Montreux Jazz Festival, Woodstock Poland, and Rock am Ring. Over the years, VV has collaborated with world music icons like Goran Bregović, Manu Chao, and Khaled, continuously pushing boundaries. Their influence is undeniable—Eugene Hütz of Gogol Bordello calls them his musical teachers, a legacy now featured in a recent Gogol Bordello documentary.
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.

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.
Follow her along her music journey directly on instagram @ineajofficial to enjoy a little fairy dust everywhere she goes.
