About Jade Maze:

Jade Maze mixes soul, jazz, and pop into one big heart-filled voice. From the first note, you know she is singing about lived experiences. Whether sharing a H.E.R. cover, a jazz standard, or an original song, her delivery is profound and unique. She started out with soul and jazz bands on the West Coast, toured with her original band on the East Coast, and made Chicago her home in the mid-90s, where she split duties between her own band and singing with jazz/blues/contemporary ensembles. She loves the intimacy of duo work as well, especially with guitar, bass, or piano.

Jade also happens to be an award-winning author. Her debut memoir, Walk Until Sunrise, took a first-place world literary prize (Rome), and the follow-up memoir entitled Mercy’s View: Blackout won a 2025 Best Book Pinnacle Achievement Award. The memoirs chronicle her teenage runaway experience, her reentry into society, and her singing career. To offset the intensity of that work, Jade writes short stories where at least one of the story characters is a singer (Music Notes: Tales from an American Singer). They are hilarious!

So come hear some songs, read a book, have a refreshing beverage, and enjoy!

About Buddy Fambro:

Buddy Fambro is a Chicago-based guitarist, producer, composer, and educator. With three solo albums to his credit, he can also be found frequently on the theater circuit. Notable past performances include PBS’s Great Performances “Chicago Voices Gala” (Lyric Opera House of Chicago), Motown: The Musical (Ford Oriental Theatre), and the international tour of Come Fly Away. Buddy has performed with Gerald Albright, Ramsey Lewis, Mavis Staples, and the Urban Knights, to name a few. Influences include Wes Montgomery, Pat Metheny, and Larry Carlton.

Shadow Puppetz Presents: Devil's in the Details

Date: Saturday, September 20th, 2025

Doors & Showtime: 1:00PM

Tickets: General Admission - $40 | VIP - $75 (Reserved seat with optimal viewing of the battles and performances)

About:

Join us for Devil’s in the Details, Chicago’s inaugural two-day robot and animation dance festival. Featuring live music, art, dance workshops, technology demonstrations, a showcase competition, and a head-to-head dance battle with a unique twist, Devil’s in the Details reimagines how robot and animation dance is presented through a fresh multidisciplinary approach.

Highlights:

● 1v1 Robot & Animation Dance Battle: Battles are head-to-head competitions where dancers freestyle to random music by a live DJ. Devil’s in the Details combines this with a unique twist where the Top 16 dancers will freestyle to specific concepts that demonstrate an in-depth knowledge and creative exploration of robot and animation dance.

● Busking-Inspired Showcase Competition: Robot and animation dance are rooted in busking, also known as street performance. Devil’s in the Details reimagines this tradition in an invitational showcase style competition. Spectators will be invited to participate by voting for their favorite performance through a ticket-in-the-hat system.

● Dance Workshops and Tech Demos: The pioneers of robot and animation dance created these styles by emulating the technology of their time. Devil’s in the Details blends dance education with technological insight in workshops and tech demos designed to show dancers how to explore and generate their own movement inspired by first hand reference material, rather than merely emulating the movement of other dancers.

Devil’s in the Details will take place on Saturday, September 20, 2025 in The Sanctuary at Epiphany Center for the Arts. Doors open at 2 PM, prelims for the 1v1 battle will begin at 3 PM, and the main event will begin at 5 PM.

About:

In 1994, Illinois Poet Laureate Gwendolyn Brooks began talking to the Guild Complex about creating a contest in which Illinois poets would read their poetry to win a cash prize. She wanted a way to encourage people to write poetry and share it with others. The Guild, which already had a long-standing relationship with Gwendolyn Brooks, loved the idea and immediately worked to make it happen. In June of that year, Gwendolyn Brooks sat in the audience of the first Gwendolyn Brooks Open Mic Awards. A total of 76 poets read in a program that took 3.5 hours. She listened to every poem read. When the winner was selected, she walked up to the stage, pulled a checkbook out of her bag, and personally wrote the winner the check for $500. Since then, the Guild Complex has run the awards every year and ensures that they remain welcoming, inclusive events that celebrate a wide range of styles and poets from across the state of Illinois.

About:

Ryan De Ryke and Daniel Schlosberg perform music by Doug Lofstrom.

Ryan De Ryke, baritone and Daniel Schlosberg, piano, with Kimberley Jones, soprano, and Doug Lofstrom and the New Quartet.

De Ryke and Schlosberg perform songs from the new Divine Art/Diversions release “Myths and Accidents.” Doug Lofstrom and the New Quartet open the show with a short set of instrumentals featuring Lofstrom originals along with music by Piazzolla and Ellington. De Ryke and Schlosberg follow with two song cycles from the album and are joined by Kim Jones and the quartet to perform two scenes from Lofstrom’s opera Two Soldiers.

Ryan de Ryke, baritone, is an artist whose versatility and unique musical presence have made him increasingly in demand on both sides of the Atlantic. The Baltimore Sun hailed him as “a talent that seems to defy labels… he delivers a naturally beautiful sound that penetrates to one’s inner core.” His performance of Telemann’s Pimpinone in Haymarket Opera’s production was selected by the Chicago Tribune as one of the top ten classical concerts of 2019.

Pianist Daniel Schlosberg has appeared with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in numerous chamber music and new music concerts, has premiered Augusta Read Thomas’s Starlight Ribbons and given the US premiere of Kaija Saariaho’s Calices with violinist Austin Wulliman. He has recorded for the Albany, Bridge, New World, Nimbus, Jacaranda and Permelia labels and is on the faculty of Notre Dame University.

Soprano Kimberly Jones is an alum of the Ryan Opera Center of Lyric Opera of Chicago. Her performances there include the slave girl, Margru, in the world premiere of Anthony Davis' Amistad, which was released nationally on the New World recording label. Kimberly performed in Houston Grand Opera's colorful production of the Magic Flute (Papagena), and sang the role of Clara in their production of Porgy and Bess. She has received numerous grants and awards and was presented in Opera's Now magazine's "Who's Hot in Opera".

Ryan, Daniel and Kimberley are joined by Lofstrom, James Sanders (violin), Michael Levin (clarinet), Sarah Allen (percussion) and Leandro Lopez Varady (keyboard) of the New Quartet in two scenes from Two Soldiers as the evening’s finale.

About:

If you were around during Chicago’s underground House Music movement or Rave scene in the late 80’s and early 90’s, then you’ll be utterly familiar with the name Julio Bishop. Whether from appearing weekly on some of the hottest party flyers throughout the Midwest or because you had a copy of his now infamous mix tape, “Love Nation” sold out of all the local record stores, the name Julio Bishop is synonymous with jacking dance floors since 1987.

Getting his start as a dancer and DJ in Chicago’s nightclubs and warehouses, but soon expanding his influence; from NYC to LA, to the beaches of Miami, Puerto Rico and Mexico, Germany and Sicily, Julio has been bringing his deep, mystifying grooves to the world for over 3 decades. His intimate knowledge of classic Afro-Latin and Jazz, , as well as his acquired proficiency of Disco, Electronica, Club & Deep House takes his sets far outside the realm of what is attainable by a greener selection of DJ’s.

Funneling his talents into the studio in the early 2000’s, Julio helped launch RealDEEP Recordings, along side label partner Brian Cullen (aka Bjak) where, together they paved the way to further coproductions and solo projects on labels such as Deep Explorer Music (Madrid) and Eargasmic Recordings (Chicago).

With more releases on the way and a selection of upcoming gigs scheduled between Chicago. Puerto Rico, LA & Hawaii, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for what’s to come next from this proved House Music veteran.

The Second Shift: Exploring South Asian Creative Expression Beyond the Workday

Doors: 7:00PM

Showtime: 8:00PM

Tickets: Advanced - $20 | Last Minute - $30

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

About:

The Second Shift is a Chicago Fashion Week showcase, hosted by Beauty in Balance and the Chicago Fashion Coalition, celebrating South Asian multi-hyphenate artists who pursue their creativity after hours. For many, the "first shift" is the 9–5 career that sustains them, while the "second shift" is where their artistry truly comes alive—through dance, singing, literature, and more. This event explores that duality, pairing South Asian design with diverse art forms to honor the balance between profession and passion. By spotlighting these stories, The Second Shift highlights how tradition and innovation thrive when artists are free to explore all sides of their identity.
