About:
Thunder rumbles threateningly at an ambiguous distance, birds efficiently scatter, and the arms of the trees above wield their leaves through the air … we walk beneath the sky, the trees, a murder of crows, greens and browns and greys collide in in our visual fields as we press forward. Overland marks the third season of the FM Cello and Piano Duo, and features works that move through soundscapes of legends and memory by Ludwig van Beethoven, Natasha Bogojević, and Amy Wurtz.
Cacie Miller is a Chicago area pianist. She holds degrees in piano performance and music theory from several institutions, including the Eastman School of Music, University of Illinois, Houghton University and University of Southern Maine.

Fish and The Cats
Welcome to Fish and the Cats!
Jazz that swings, grooves, bops and rocks.
Come enjoy some great jazz in Chicago with Fish & the Cats! We love playing music from the Great American Song Book and other favorites that have stood the test of time.
You'll hear classics like "Honeysuckle Rose" and "What a Wonderful World," along with songs like "Cantaloupe Island" and "Moondance" – music that spans several generations.
Our group includes talented musicians and a vocalist who really brings the songs to life. You can catch us performing around Chicago, especially in Gold Coast, River North, and Old Town.
We've been fortunate to connect with audiences who appreciate jazz and keep inviting us back. If you enjoy live music and want to hear some well-played standards, we'd love to have you join us.
Why people like our performances: We focus on playing music we genuinely care about, and that enthusiasm tends to be contagious.

About:
Hailing from Brussels, multidisciplinary artist ShunGu has quietly carved out a unique place in the subterranean music scene, blending jazz-infused sampling with cosmic grooves that defy gravitational life force. A relentless sound architect, ShunGu’s aesthetics bridge the worlds of hip-hop, jazz, psych-rock, and house with intellectual curiosity and playful creativity.
His critically acclaimed debut, A Black Market Album, showcased his knack for crafting his own sound narratives. This penchant for weaving stories through sound extended into his prolific cassette discography on the revered label Hot Record Société, where his lo-fi gems captured the hearts of beat enthusiasts around the globe.
ShunGu’s eclectic taste has also found a home on celebrated compilations, from ‚Gang- ster Music Vol. 1’ by Gangster Doodles to ‚The Beauty Is Inside’, curated by Lefto on BBE Records, ‚Afro Chronicles’ on Touching Bass Records and ‚Looking Glass’ by Mexican Sum- mer. Each track reveals his mastery of subtlety and his ability to craft beats that feel both timeless and forward-thinking.
Under the alias Senga, ShunGu explores his Detroit-infused house alter ego, channeling spiritual rhythms and mind-bending textures. His acclaimed album Take The Evil Spirit Away by Senga Ferrera stands as living proof of his versatility, elevating dance floors into sacred spaces through tantalizing MPC-driven live sessions. With more house-focused extended players on the pipeline, Senga continues to expand ShunGu’s legacy in the industry.
Looking ahead, ShunGu prepare to release his highly anticipated album, Faith in the Unknown, on the legendary Lex Records in mid-2025 with a surefire roster of collaborators including Pink Siifu, Liv.e, Fly Anakin, Chester Watson, Fatima, Maxo, Navy Blue, Dream- castmoe, Contour, Zekeultra and Goya Gumbani. This forthcoming project promises to further cement his reputation as a visionary artist pushing the boundaries of genre.

Sinatra ’56 — Songs for Swingin’ Lovers is the third chapter in Gary Thomas’s trilogy of cabaret concerts celebrating Frank Sinatra’s remarkable Capitol-era comeback—and the moment he hit his full, swaggering stride. Performed by Gary Thomas and The Mid-Century Modern Ensemble, the show is built around Sinatra’s landmark 1956 album Songs for Swingin’ Lovers and features its sparkling essentials alongside a handpicked set of Sinatra favorites—romantic, witty, and irresistibly swinging. Woven together with smart, engaging storytelling, the evening is stylish, funny, and full of heart. Sinatra ’56 brings mid-century sophistication to life and invites audiences to raise a glass to timeless songs, world-class swing, and the voice that made it all unforgettable.

About:
In the fall of 2023, my cancer battle began. I hadn’t been feeling quite right. The results of my physical examination revealed alarmingly high PSA levels, causing a great deal of anxiety and fear.
After a visit to my urologist, the testing began. MRI’s, biopsies, probes and then a PSMA PET scan. On December 23rd, I received the diagnosis – Metastatic Prostate Cancer. In the New Year, I began the fight of my life, enduring five rounds of chemotherapy. In mid-May, feeling gratitude, strength and hope, I rang the “Bell” - a powerful moment in my cancer treatment.
Facing metastatic cancer requires tremendous strength and resilience. Through it all, music has been my source of faith, energy, comfort and confidence. Music and singing have been a lifelong passion. One that continues to inspire and sustain me to this day. Sit back, relax and enjoy the concert. It’s a reflection of the music that has shaped the soundtrack of my life.

About:
Abigail Arkley is a Chicago-based recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter. Beginning her musical journey on the piano at age five, she went on to earn a B.M. in Piano Performance before expanding into songwriting, production, and electronic instrumentation.
Curious about the many shapes artistic expression can take, and inspired by creators across the musical spectrum, Abigail formed her solo project in 2021. That year, Abigail released her debut single, “Around You”. In 2024. Abigail released two follow-up singles, “Honey” and “Never Too Young”, quickly attracting the attention of her musical peers. She has performed alongside Indigo de Souza, Ginger Root, Finom, The Criticals, Miloe, and The Ophelias.
Blending bittersweet alt-folk soundscapes with ethereal wave and dream pop, Abigail creates a sonic universe as multifaceted as her artistic influences. Inspired by Oklou, Imogen Heap, The Sundays, and Bon Iver, her songwriting and production explore the hills and valleys of the human experience, pursuing themes of love and purpose in a message that is raw, ingenuous, and cautiously hopeful.
Her debut EP, Metamorph, arrives in November 2026. An open journal of her twenties, the record explores both the beauty and cost of becoming: the lives we must outgrow, the loves that transform us, and the selves we shed and offer up along the way. Created with her closest community members and friends, Metamorph traces Abigail’s evolution and pays tribute to the people, places, and past selves that have shaped her

The Cat Gaddis Project live performance is a fun experience - with audiences tapping their feet, dancing, and grooving to the music. Cat Gaddis Project (CGP) played 2 shows at the Montrose Saloon earlier this year, and Buddy Guy's Legends on May 16. CGP also performed at the Alley Art Festival in Aurora, IL, Northcenter Town Square in Chicago, and outdoor festivals are great venues for the band. We also recently played at Old Elburn Hall, a BBQ Fest in the summer, and coming to the Epiphany Center for the Arts on Dec 5. The band has been in the studio recording new material; however, most of their repertoire are cover versions of well-known blues and r&b songs !

About Her Only Light:
“… a joyous renewal of their commitment to Converse’s legacy. Her songs are wry, weird, evocative, and beautiful, and it’s a delight to hear them done justice in a lovingly staged cabaret-style performance with violin, viola, cello, harp, and clarinets. Somewhere in space and time, Converse is smiling…”
— Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader
“Scintillating....Hospelhorn's pop-adjacent experimental folk features her lovely, elastic vocals, her flute, and her intricately programmed electronics.” — Chicago Reader
“Beguiling” — WNYC
Em Spel's intricate, flute-driven alt-folk sounds like nothing else. The solo project of Chicago-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Emma Hospelhorn, Em Spel’s sophomore album, Bird or Snake, was released to widespread praise in 2026. Hospelhorn is a flutist in avant-classical group Ensemble Dal Niente, and her discography includes work on flutes, bass guitar, and keyboards for V.V. Lightbody, Mute Duo, and others working in a diverse array of genres including folk, drone, garage rock, post-punk, and classical. In this solo endeavor, she fuses all of these influences with story-driven lyrics to create invitingly strange folk vignettes. To listen, visit emspel.bandcamp.com.

About:
Produced by Luwwe Studio at Epiphany Center for the Arts: Catacombs
Everything you love will end. Beauty and loss are inseparable.
Melancholia is a collective runway show featuring designers Xanthe Sparkman, Mariana Alaniss, and Soraya Annibali. Through their distinct perspectives, the show explores impermanence, decay, and the complicated beauty of being human. It asks us to consider what happens when we stop resisting change and begin to find meaning in what we cannot keep.
In a culture that demands constant movement and productivity, sadness and stillness are often treated as things to overcome. Yet melancholy has long been intertwined with creativity, introspection, and our desire to understand the world. Melancholia challenges the impulse to move on too quickly, inviting us instead to sit with discomfort, embrace uncertainty, and recognize the value of emotions that have no easy resolution.
The world of Melancholia exists somewhere between the haunting and the beautiful. Abandoned cemeteries, overgrown gardens, dying flowers, and industrial structures form a landscape where nature slowly reclaims what was once built to contain it. Through this imagery, the show explores the tension between the organic and the manufactured, the fragile and the enduring, the familiar and the unknown. References to spirituality, mythology, artificial intelligence, power, and control further examine our relationship with the forces that shape our lives, both human and beyond our understanding.
Through fashion, these ideas take form in the interplay of contrasting textures, materials, and emotions. Each designer offers a different interpretation of the theme, creating a collective narrative that reflects the contradictions inherent in existence: softness alongside strength, beauty alongside destruction, and life alongside death.
Set within the Catacombs of Epiphany Center for the Arts, Melancholia invites its audience into a world where endings are not simply something to fear, but an inevitable part of becoming. It is a reflection on the fleeting nature of the things we cherish and the ways loss can alter how we see ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
Nothing remains untouched by time. Flowers wilt, structures crumble, and even the things we believe will last forever eventually change. Yet, in that impermanence lies a certain kind of beauty. Sometimes, what falls apart makes room for something new to grow.

About DJ Woodi:
Will, known on the decks as DJ Woodi, is a Southsider through and through, and his sound comes from growing up right in the middle of a bunch of different eras colliding.

Those deep, rolling basslines and moody synths got in his blood early and never left. You can still hear that DNA in the low end and the tones he reaches for today.

About:
Ben Dunnill doesn’t just play music; he commands it. Armed with a timeless, gravel-and-silk voice and a staggering mental jukebox of over 5,000 songs memorized entirely by heart, the Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist bridges the gap between eras with effortless, classic soul.
Ben's story began at 13 years old in White Rock, B.C. While most kids his age were navigating middle school, Ben was stepping onto professional stages, cutting his teeth in the unforgiving boot camp of smoky piano bars. Over the span of a decade, he transformed those venues into his personal laboratory, mastering the lost arts of heavy improvisation, razor-sharp showmanship, and the rare ability to capture a room’s collective heartbeat.
That relentless grind eventually met the digital age, sparking a global wildfire. Ben captivated an online audience of over a million followers by turning convention on its head: dismantling hard-hitting rap anthems like 50 Cent’s “Many Men” and Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” and rebuilding them as sweeping, cinematic jazz masterpieces. The internet took notice, generating over 200 million views and drawing ecstatic praise from modern icons like Michael Bublé, Laufey, and Joe Rogan.
But while interpreting the greats and reimagining the unexpected built his foundation, Ben is stepping out from behind the safety of the classic songbook. The sweeping success of his original standouts like the cinematic, storytelling-rich “Till the Credits Roll” and the show-stopping “Encore” has signaled a massive creative evolution. No longer just an elite interpreter of other people's masterpieces, Ben's next definitive chapter shifts the spotlight directly onto his own pen.
A deeply respected collaborator who co-wrote and co-produced the chart-topping jazz record Anything Goes with Mathew V, Ben has already brought his magnetic energy to Canada’s most prestigious stages, including Toronto’s iconic Massey Hall and the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Now, armed with a growing catalog of hits that are uniquely his own, Ben Dunnill is stepping into the spotlight as an authentic powerhouse entertainer who honors the golden age of music while fiercely rewriting its future.

About:
One of the busiest blues outfits in Chicagoland, the Smiley Tillmon Band is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. There’s an obvious reason why the veteran guitarist’s booking schedule is so jam-packed: Smiley knows how to have a good time and makes sure his audience does too. After 65 years on the local blues scene, Tillmon serves up the blues and soul standards that people never seem to stop craving, his rich vocals and fluid guitar backed by a band that keeps his grooves tight and right.
Born Moses Tillmon in rural Jefferson County, Georgia, Smiley grew up on a hearty musical diet of gospel, country, and a little blues. His mother moved to Fort Lauderdale when he was ten; there he was exposed to calypso music, adding up to a singular list of influences. Tillmon took up guitar and was good enough by the dawn of the ‘60s to back Miami R&B singer Billy Miranda in the studio. He joined Sammy Ambrose & the Afro-Beats, a calypso-oriented band, touring from Canada to New York. Smiley bid the Afro-Beats adieu in 1962 and moved to Chicago. There he established himself on the blues circuit, playing with Billy “The Kid” Emerson, Denise LaSalle, and other South Side luminaries until he opted for a day job in 1977.
Upon his 2007 retirement, Smiley reverted to full-time musical status. He joined forces with bassist Tom Rezetko, and they’ve been inseparable onstage ever since.

About:
Ellie Rui 瑞 presents: “A Tribute to Jabali (Billy Hart)”. Ellie Rui 瑞 is a Chicago-based Jazz drummer from Columbus, Ohio. She moved to Chicago, IL after graduating from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in the Spring of 2024 with a degree in Jazz studies and a minor in African-American Music. Ellie’s most recent project was releasing her debut album: “DayDreams Are Encouraged” this past May (2026). At Oberlin, Ellie studied with NEA Jazz Master, Billy Hart.
Ellie Rui 瑞 and Aidan Marco, Oberlin Jazz pianist ’25 and long time friend of Ellie’s, have been working very hard the past few months to bring “A Tribute to Jabali (Billy Hart)” to life. After a phone call with Billy Hart and Ethan Iverson, Billy’s pianist and memoirist, and reading Billy’s memoire “Oceans of Time”, Ellie and Aidan have compiled a set list of 5 of Billy’s most influential and career changing pieces.
Billy Hart is known for his ground breaking multidirectional drumming style, featured on records such as “The Creator Has a Master Plan” by Pharoah Saunders and for his time playing with Jazz pianist, Herbie Hancock. The show also features composers: Shirley Horn, Zbigniew Seifert, and Buck Hill (all important peers/mentors to Billy). In preparation for this concert the Ellie Rui 瑞 ensemble will be attempting to play these pieces as true to the record as they can. They want to do their best to pay tribute to Billy Hart and his sound. This show is not only a tribute written by Ellie Rui 瑞 to her drum teacher, but also a celebration of the career of a living Jazz legend.

About:
A graduate of Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor’s degree in vocal jazz performance and acting studies, Lester has spent over 15 years shaping stages across the Midwest and South. His artistry has anchored powerhouse ensembles such as the Dennis Keith Experience, TVK Orchestra, and the Chicago Elite Orchestra, while his solo work—released under the name Lester Jay—blends house, R&B, and pop into a signature sound found on streaming platforms worldwide.
Lester’s musical journey is rooted in collaboration and community. He has worked with celebrated producers and DJs including DJ Ron Pullman (Atlanta), DJ Craig C (Colorado), The Bodega Boys (New York), and Deep Soul Syndicate (Chicago). His voice has crossed genres and generations, leading to creative partnerships with Grammy Award–winner Shawn Hibbler, Drag Race icons Yvie Oddly and Shea Coulee, and dynamic live performance collaborations with artists like Donald Lawrence and talents from American Idol.
At the heart of Lester’s artistry lies a deeper calling: honoring the legacy of Black soul and the artists who shaped it.
Today, Lester Jay and his band, The Jaystones, are in production for the ULTIMATE Luther Vandross Tribute—a show that celebrates Luther not only as a musical titan, but as a quiet, powerful pillar of Black queer expression. For Lester, Luther Vandross was more than a voice; he was a mirror. A reminder that tenderness, vulnerability, elegance, and emotional truth are sacred parts of Black identity, especially within the queer community. This tribute stands as a love letter to Luther and to the Black soul artists whose brilliance continues to inspire generations.
Lester’s performances—whether leading his band, honoring Amy Winehouse in Tears Dry on Their Own, or joining forces in collaborative live performances—are marked by a magnetic stage presence and a voice that carries both technical mastery and emotional depth. With The Jaystones behind him, each show becomes a cinematic experience: lush, intimate, and unforgettable.
Join Lester Jay on this journey through soul, memory, and celebration. Every note is a story. Every performance is an offering. And this tribute to Luther Vandross is a moment you won’t want to miss.

About:
"How can you feel nostalgic for a song you’ve never heard before? That’s how it feels when listening to ‘i like you’. The track is a fresh release." - - the limelight chicago
“The debut of alt/indie newcomer, giverupper impresses. J.T. Teichert has exhibited a talent for songwriting and composition. The appeal is catchy melodies, simple yet vibrant progressions, and a knack for being able to produce music with familiarity to what is currently relevant while introducing a unique element.” -- fifteen minutes of fame
giverupper is the saxophone dream pop project of J.T. Teichert. The music is an attempt to “give up” the masks that we wear every day and the barriers that prevent us from creating.
giverupper’s debut ep, shorty, released on 12/20/25. his second ep, give her a purr, released on 7/8/25.
shorty explores infatuation and isolation through the lens of an overthinker. The debut EP keeps things short and sweet, encompassing four tracks under 11 minutes of time. It serves as a reminder that even the smallest ideas may be worth sharing.
give her a purr, features performances by long time friends Nate Lich, Jackson Kidder, and Robin Fey. The EP was J.T.’s attempt to shed the “skin of his twenties” and deals such themes as artistic identity, work/life balance, and anxiety.
It is J.T.’s ultimate goal to “give” music and lift others “up.”

About Jade Maze:
Jade Maze mixes soul, jazz, blues, and pop into one big heartfelt voice. 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 foraged her way onto the blues and jazz scenes. 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 the beginning stages of 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!
About Chris Mahieu:
Chris Mahieu’s interests led him to jazz and many other styles of piano after receiving his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in classical piano at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is an in-demand pianist and has played all the major jazz venues in town (Showcase, Green Mill, Andy’s, and House of Blues) as well as Symphony Center and the Chicago Jazz Fest. He is a quiet killer on the keys completely dedicated to the art of music.

About:
Chicago-based duo DRASII (Lisa Armstrong & Chris Kalis) return with The Seeker , the follow-up EP to 2024’s Spirito Celeste . Co-released on ETC and Shmee Records, it continues their trek through a paranormal sonic landscape. Using vintage analog and FM hardware synths, the five-track release runs through deep house, acid, electro, balearic and post-industrial.
The opening track, “Daydream,” features celestial, wispy vocals, deep bass and sparkling synth melodies. It leads into “Vertigo,” which follows with a shifting drone over repetitive Juno 60 notes channeling Chris & Cosey or Adrian Sherwood. This is what Sarah & John Connor would have in the tape deck while barreling down the freeway in a stolen police cruiser.
On the reverse side, “Tiger’s Eye” leads with SH-101 bass that moves around a swinging 909 beat creating a downtempofeel—mixing together inspiration from Larry Heard and Ibiza in the 90s. From there, “Hycean” propels forward with a 707 beat and acid bass before breaking into a syncopated polyrhythm accented by witchy vocal samples. “Sorcerer” closes on an upbeat, electro feel, centered around a darkmetallic bass blended with 6/8 time arpeggio melodies.
The Seeker is a lucid dream, a spell, and a stirring of thesubconscious: five transmissions from somewhere just beyond the void.

About:
Thor Bremer's Chakras is an original immersive sound, music, and meditative experience combining guided meditation, live sound baths, and chamber music performed by a seven-member ensemble. Presented in the round, the continuous program moves through seven chakra-inspired sequences, surrounding the audience with acoustic instruments, sound healing instruments, voice and immersive soundscapes
About Thor Bremer:
Thor Bremer is a Chicago-area composer, sound designer, percussionist, producer, educator, and meditation teacher whose work moves between contemporary chamber music, immersive performance, and interactive media. Over the course of his professional career, he has created music and sound for more than 200 games and advertising projects, collaborating with studios and production teams around the world. His work has appeared in advertising for Disney and Intelliloan and in projects involving Output and Spitfire Audio. He also co-manages Fretless Music, through which he has performed and produced music for arts organizations, festivals, corporations, and private events throughout Chicagoland.
As director of Nine Worlds Ensemble, Thor composes, performs, produces, and engineers chamber-music projects and multidisciplinary collaborations. His background as a percussionist and drummer is central to his musical language: rhythm, resonance, physical gesture, and the changing color of acoustic sound are treated as structural elements rather than decoration. That approach carries into his work on marimba, piano, gongs, singing bowls, chimes, and other resonant instruments.
Chakras brings these parts of his practice together in a single large-scale project. Developed as an interdisciplinary album and live experience, the work integrates guided meditation, sound baths, and original chamber music into seven connected sequences. Each section is inspired by one of the traditional chakras free of any specific system. Instead, the project uses the chakra framework as a path through different physical, emotional, and attentional qualities. This live version expands the recorded work through a seven-member ensemble, acoustic resonance, spatial arrangement, and the shared experience of listening in a room.
Thor completed the Bodhiyana Nondual Teacher Training and brings his meditation teaching into the performance directly, guiding the audience without separating the contemplative practice from the musical event. He also teaches game audio at Columbia College Chicago and composition at the University of Illinois Chicago, emphasizing attentive listening, experimentation, collaboration, and practical creative craft.
At Epiphany Center for the Arts, Thor leads the ensemble from the marimba, percussion, voice, and electronics. Presented in the round, Chakras invites the audience to encounter chamber music, meditation, and sound bath not as three separate activities, but as one continuous immersive experience.

About:
The Chicago Tribune called it “good old lyric-driven rock,” and the lyrics for this show come from Charles Dickens’ 1843 holiday classic A Christmas Carol. The words will stay unchanged but they’ll find new relevance and meaning in songs played through amps turned up to 11.
Marley’s spooky visit. The Cratchits’ joyful dinner. Scrooge’s ultimate redemption. You get the idea.
Mortal Fools has dusted off other classics and rocked them out in front of standing-room only audiences, starting with Paradise Lost Reimagined, then Shakespeare’s Sonnets Reborn, The Odyssey Retold and, most recently, Wonderland Revisited. A sixth show, Frankenstein Reanimated, is in development.
The band is made-up of seasoned Chicagoland musicians who regularly play around town, so you may have seen them in other shows. This project is a labor of love, if not restitution for all the homework they skipped.
They’ll only come together once to play A Christmas Carol Regifted. Come join them this holiday season and party like it’s 1843.

FREE ADMISSION | RSVP BELOW
About:
Experience the mesmerizing world of Wayang Kulit, the centuries-old Javanese art of shadow puppetry, in a rare four-hour drop-in-as-you-like performance presented by Friends of the Gamelan (FROG). Nearly 20 years after FROG’s last wayang performance in Chicago, this special presentation brings together FROG's Javanese ensemble and an extraordinary group of master artists from Java for The Clash of Gathutkaca and Boma, a dramatic tale drawn from the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata.
Master dhalang (puppeteer) Ki Midiyanto brings intricately carved leather puppets to life against a glowing screen, transforming shadow into an epic tale of power, pride, duty, and honor. He is joined by master musicians Wakidi Dwidjomartono and Darsono Hadiraharjo and world-renowned vocalists Heni Savitri and Peni Candra Rini, with live translation and contextualization by wayang scholar Kathryn Emerson.
While wayang performances in Java can unfold for eight hours, this extraordinary four-hour presentation offers Chicago audiences a rare opportunity to experience the music, storytelling, philosophy, and humor of this living tradition, recognized by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
About Friends of the Gamelan:
Founded in 1980, Friends of the Gamelan (FROG) invites Chicago to experience the rich musical heritage of Indonesia. FROG’s two ensembles are dedicated to Javanese and Balinese gamelan music and dance, sharing these traditions through performances, weekly instruction, and hands-on workshops.

Their debut album Lakeshore Rush: Moving Parts for Albany Records explores archival recordings and soundscapes from Chicago composers. The ensemble was also featured in Seth Boustead's imaginative Dreaming Grand Avenue (2020), and Lawrence Axelrod’s 5X4: Quartets for Various Instruments– with Gramophone describing their work as “exquisitely rendered.”

About:
Jackson and Lucy are excited to share the stage for this special evening at Epiphany. It will be the first time that they will be coheadlining a bill and collaborating on a setlist. In 2023, Jackson recorded and released “Swept in Snow” (lead single “Christmas in Chicago”), a straight-ahead jazz album filled with fresh takes on Christmas classics as well as some original holiday tunes from Jackson’s catalog. Lucy's multi-genre holiday album, “Singing Christmas”, ranked No. 1 on the Americana Charts in January of 2023. Howard Reich (Chicago Tribune) wrote “the austere beauty of her version of “Silent Night” …and the imploring quality of her singing in “Rise Up, Shepherd and Follow…(is) a testament to what the holiday signifies." We hope you’ll join us for this performance!

Jackson Jay Kidder, vocals & bass
Lucy Smith, vocals

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:
Thunder rumbles threateningly at an ambiguous distance, birds efficiently scatter, and the arms of the trees above wield their leaves through the air … we walk beneath the sky, the trees, a murder of crows, greens and browns and greys collide in in our visual fields as we press forward. Overland marks the third season of the FM Cello and Piano Duo, and features works that move through soundscapes of legends and memory by Ludwig van Beethoven, Natasha Bogojević, and Amy Wurtz.
Cacie Miller is a Chicago area pianist. She holds degrees in piano performance and music theory from several institutions, including the Eastman School of Music, University of Illinois, Houghton University and University of Southern Maine.

Fish and The Cats
Welcome to Fish and the Cats!
Jazz that swings, grooves, bops and rocks.
Come enjoy some great jazz in Chicago with Fish & the Cats! We love playing music from the Great American Song Book and other favorites that have stood the test of time.
You'll hear classics like "Honeysuckle Rose" and "What a Wonderful World," along with songs like "Cantaloupe Island" and "Moondance" – music that spans several generations.
Our group includes talented musicians and a vocalist who really brings the songs to life. You can catch us performing around Chicago, especially in Gold Coast, River North, and Old Town.
We've been fortunate to connect with audiences who appreciate jazz and keep inviting us back. If you enjoy live music and want to hear some well-played standards, we'd love to have you join us.
Why people like our performances: We focus on playing music we genuinely care about, and that enthusiasm tends to be contagious.

About:
Hailing from Brussels, multidisciplinary artist ShunGu has quietly carved out a unique place in the subterranean music scene, blending jazz-infused sampling with cosmic grooves that defy gravitational life force. A relentless sound architect, ShunGu’s aesthetics bridge the worlds of hip-hop, jazz, psych-rock, and house with intellectual curiosity and playful creativity.
His critically acclaimed debut, A Black Market Album, showcased his knack for crafting his own sound narratives. This penchant for weaving stories through sound extended into his prolific cassette discography on the revered label Hot Record Société, where his lo-fi gems captured the hearts of beat enthusiasts around the globe.
ShunGu’s eclectic taste has also found a home on celebrated compilations, from ‚Gang- ster Music Vol. 1’ by Gangster Doodles to ‚The Beauty Is Inside’, curated by Lefto on BBE Records, ‚Afro Chronicles’ on Touching Bass Records and ‚Looking Glass’ by Mexican Sum- mer. Each track reveals his mastery of subtlety and his ability to craft beats that feel both timeless and forward-thinking.
Under the alias Senga, ShunGu explores his Detroit-infused house alter ego, channeling spiritual rhythms and mind-bending textures. His acclaimed album Take The Evil Spirit Away by Senga Ferrera stands as living proof of his versatility, elevating dance floors into sacred spaces through tantalizing MPC-driven live sessions. With more house-focused extended players on the pipeline, Senga continues to expand ShunGu’s legacy in the industry.
Looking ahead, ShunGu prepare to release his highly anticipated album, Faith in the Unknown, on the legendary Lex Records in mid-2025 with a surefire roster of collaborators including Pink Siifu, Liv.e, Fly Anakin, Chester Watson, Fatima, Maxo, Navy Blue, Dream- castmoe, Contour, Zekeultra and Goya Gumbani. This forthcoming project promises to further cement his reputation as a visionary artist pushing the boundaries of genre.

About:
Sinatra ’56 — Songs for Swingin’ Lovers is the third chapter in Gary Thomas’s trilogy of cabaret concerts celebrating Frank Sinatra’s remarkable Capitol-era comeback—and the moment he hit his full, swaggering stride. Performed by Gary Thomas and The Mid-Century Modern Ensemble, the show is built around Sinatra’s landmark 1956 album Songs for Swingin’ Lovers and features its sparkling essentials alongside a handpicked set of Sinatra favorites—romantic, witty, and irresistibly swinging. Woven together with smart, engaging storytelling, the evening is stylish, funny, and full of heart. Sinatra ’56 brings mid-century sophistication to life and invites audiences to raise a glass to timeless songs, world-class swing, and the voice that made it all unforgettable.

About:
In the fall of 2023, my cancer battle began. I hadn’t been feeling quite right. The results of my physical examination revealed alarmingly high PSA levels, causing a great deal of anxiety and fear.
After a visit to my urologist, the testing began. MRI’s, biopsies, probes and then a PSMA PET scan. On December 23rd, I received the diagnosis – Metastatic Prostate Cancer. In the New Year, I began the fight of my life, enduring five rounds of chemotherapy. In mid-May, feeling gratitude, strength and hope, I rang the “Bell” - a powerful moment in my cancer treatment.
Facing metastatic cancer requires tremendous strength and resilience. Through it all, music has been my source of faith, energy, comfort and confidence. Music and singing have been a lifelong passion. One that continues to inspire and sustain me to this day. Sit back, relax and enjoy the concert. It’s a reflection of the music that has shaped the soundtrack of my life.

About:
Abigail Arkley is a Chicago-based recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter. Beginning her musical journey on the piano at age five, she went on to earn a B.M. in Piano Performance before expanding into songwriting, production, and electronic instrumentation.
Curious about the many shapes artistic expression can take, and inspired by creators across the musical spectrum, Abigail formed her solo project in 2021. That year, Abigail released her debut single, “Around You”. In 2024. Abigail released two follow-up singles, “Honey” and “Never Too Young”, quickly attracting the attention of her musical peers. She has performed alongside Indigo de Souza, Ginger Root, Finom, The Criticals, Miloe, and The Ophelias.
Blending bittersweet alt-folk soundscapes with ethereal wave and dream pop, Abigail creates a sonic universe as multifaceted as her artistic influences. Inspired by Oklou, Imogen Heap, The Sundays, and Bon Iver, her songwriting and production explore the hills and valleys of the human experience, pursuing themes of love and purpose in a message that is raw, ingenuous, and cautiously hopeful.
Her debut EP, Metamorph, arrives in November 2026. An open journal of her twenties, the record explores both the beauty and cost of becoming: the lives we must outgrow, the loves that transform us, and the selves we shed and offer up along the way. Created with her closest community members and friends, Metamorph traces Abigail’s evolution and pays tribute to the people, places, and past selves that have shaped her

The Cat Gaddis Project live performance is a fun experience - with audiences tapping their feet, dancing, and grooving to the music. Cat Gaddis Project (CGP) played 2 shows at the Montrose Saloon earlier this year, and Buddy Guy's Legends on May 16. CGP also performed at the Alley Art Festival in Aurora, IL, Northcenter Town Square in Chicago, and outdoor festivals are great venues for the band. We also recently played at Old Elburn Hall, a BBQ Fest in the summer, and coming to the Epiphany Center for the Arts on Dec 5. The band has been in the studio recording new material; however, most of their repertoire are cover versions of well-known blues and r&b songs !

About Her Only Light:
“… a joyous renewal of their commitment to Converse’s legacy. Her songs are wry, weird, evocative, and beautiful, and it’s a delight to hear them done justice in a lovingly staged cabaret-style performance with violin, viola, cello, harp, and clarinets. Somewhere in space and time, Converse is smiling…”
— Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader
“Scintillating....Hospelhorn's pop-adjacent experimental folk features her lovely, elastic vocals, her flute, and her intricately programmed electronics.” — Chicago Reader
“Beguiling” — WNYC
Em Spel's intricate, flute-driven alt-folk sounds like nothing else. The solo project of Chicago-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Emma Hospelhorn, Em Spel’s sophomore album, Bird or Snake, was released to widespread praise in 2026. Hospelhorn is a flutist in avant-classical group Ensemble Dal Niente, and her discography includes work on flutes, bass guitar, and keyboards for V.V. Lightbody, Mute Duo, and others working in a diverse array of genres including folk, drone, garage rock, post-punk, and classical. In this solo endeavor, she fuses all of these influences with story-driven lyrics to create invitingly strange folk vignettes. To listen, visit emspel.bandcamp.com.

About:
Enrique Vargas is a Chicago-based bassist, composer, and educator. He studied at Berklee College of Music under Linda May Han Oh, Bruno Råberg, and Billy Kilsen. While at Berklee, he was awarded 2 performance-based awards, and later earned an Independent Artist Grant through DCASE.
Short Circuit is the debut album by Enrique Vargas. The album is a new perspective on traditional jazz and r&b, with creative melodies and fascinating improvisation.

About:
Produced by Luwwe Studio at Epiphany Center for the Arts: Catacombs
Everything you love will end. Beauty and loss are inseparable.
Melancholia is a collective runway show featuring designers Xanthe Sparkman, Mariana Alaniss, and Soraya Annibali. Through their distinct perspectives, the show explores impermanence, decay, and the complicated beauty of being human. It asks us to consider what happens when we stop resisting change and begin to find meaning in what we cannot keep.
In a culture that demands constant movement and productivity, sadness and stillness are often treated as things to overcome. Yet melancholy has long been intertwined with creativity, introspection, and our desire to understand the world. Melancholia challenges the impulse to move on too quickly, inviting us instead to sit with discomfort, embrace uncertainty, and recognize the value of emotions that have no easy resolution.
The world of Melancholia exists somewhere between the haunting and the beautiful. Abandoned cemeteries, overgrown gardens, dying flowers, and industrial structures form a landscape where nature slowly reclaims what was once built to contain it. Through this imagery, the show explores the tension between the organic and the manufactured, the fragile and the enduring, the familiar and the unknown. References to spirituality, mythology, artificial intelligence, power, and control further examine our relationship with the forces that shape our lives, both human and beyond our understanding.
Through fashion, these ideas take form in the interplay of contrasting textures, materials, and emotions. Each designer offers a different interpretation of the theme, creating a collective narrative that reflects the contradictions inherent in existence: softness alongside strength, beauty alongside destruction, and life alongside death.
Set within the Catacombs of Epiphany Center for the Arts, Melancholia invites its audience into a world where endings are not simply something to fear, but an inevitable part of becoming. It is a reflection on the fleeting nature of the things we cherish and the ways loss can alter how we see ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
Nothing remains untouched by time. Flowers wilt, structures crumble, and even the things we believe will last forever eventually change. Yet, in that impermanence lies a certain kind of beauty. Sometimes, what falls apart makes room for something new to grow.

Vince Lazarus is a Chicago-based DJ and co-founder of Ritmo & Soul, a community dedicated to celebrating and uniting the sounds of the Black and Latino diasporas.

About DJ Woodi:
Will, known on the decks as DJ Woodi, is a Southsider through and through, and his sound comes from growing up right in the middle of a bunch of different eras colliding. He came up on the blog era of hip-hop and the golden age of EDM, but if you ask him, it all traces back to West Coast rap; that’s really what did it for him. Those deep, rolling basslines and moody synths got in his blood early and never left. You can still hear that DNA in the low end and the tones he reaches for today.

About:
Ben Dunnill doesn’t just play music; he commands it. Armed with a timeless, gravel-and-silk voice and a staggering mental jukebox of over 5,000 songs memorized entirely by heart, the Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist bridges the gap between eras with effortless, classic soul.
Ben's story began at 13 years old in White Rock, B.C. While most kids his age were navigating middle school, Ben was stepping onto professional stages, cutting his teeth in the unforgiving boot camp of smoky piano bars. Over the span of a decade, he transformed those venues into his personal laboratory, mastering the lost arts of heavy improvisation, razor-sharp showmanship, and the rare ability to capture a room’s collective heartbeat.
That relentless grind eventually met the digital age, sparking a global wildfire. Ben captivated an online audience of over a million followers by turning convention on its head: dismantling hard-hitting rap anthems like 50 Cent’s “Many Men” and Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” and rebuilding them as sweeping, cinematic jazz masterpieces. The internet took notice, generating over 200 million views and drawing ecstatic praise from modern icons like Michael Bublé, Laufey, and Joe Rogan.
But while interpreting the greats and reimagining the unexpected built his foundation, Ben is stepping out from behind the safety of the classic songbook. The sweeping success of his original standouts like the cinematic, storytelling-rich “Till the Credits Roll” and the show-stopping “Encore” has signaled a massive creative evolution. No longer just an elite interpreter of other people's masterpieces, Ben's next definitive chapter shifts the spotlight directly onto his own pen.
A deeply respected collaborator who co-wrote and co-produced the chart-topping jazz record Anything Goes with Mathew V, Ben has already brought his magnetic energy to Canada’s most prestigious stages, including Toronto’s iconic Massey Hall and the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Now, armed with a growing catalog of hits that are uniquely his own, Ben Dunnill is stepping into the spotlight as an authentic powerhouse entertainer who honors the golden age of music while fiercely rewriting its future.

About:
One of the busiest blues outfits in Chicagoland, the Smiley Tillmon Band is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. There’s an obvious reason why the veteran guitarist’s booking schedule is so jam-packed: Smiley knows how to have a good time and makes sure his audience does too. After 65 years on the local blues scene, Tillmon serves up the blues and soul standards that people never seem to stop craving, his rich vocals and fluid guitar backed by a band that keeps his grooves tight and right.
Born Moses Tillmon in rural Jefferson County, Georgia, Smiley grew up on a hearty musical diet of gospel, country, and a little blues. His mother moved to Fort Lauderdale when he was ten; there he was exposed to calypso music, adding up to a singular list of influences. Tillmon took up guitar and was good enough by the dawn of the ‘60s to back Miami R&B singer Billy Miranda in the studio. He joined Sammy Ambrose & the Afro-Beats, a calypso-oriented band, touring from Canada to New York. Smiley bid the Afro-Beats adieu in 1962 and moved to Chicago. There he established himself on the blues circuit, playing with Billy “The Kid” Emerson, Denise LaSalle, and other South Side luminaries until he opted for a day job in 1977.
Upon his 2007 retirement, Smiley reverted to full-time musical status. He joined forces with bassist Tom Rezetko, and they’ve been inseparable onstage ever since.

About:
Ellie Rui 瑞 presents: “A Tribute to Jabali (Billy Hart)”. Ellie Rui 瑞 is a Chicago-based Jazz drummer from Columbus, Ohio. She moved to Chicago, IL after graduating from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in the Spring of 2024 with a degree in Jazz studies and a minor in African-American Music. Ellie’s most recent project was releasing her debut album: “DayDreams Are Encouraged” this past May (2026). At Oberlin, Ellie studied with NEA Jazz Master, Billy Hart.
Ellie Rui 瑞 and Aidan Marco, Oberlin Jazz pianist ’25 and long time friend of Ellie’s, have been working very hard the past few months to bring “A Tribute to Jabali (Billy Hart)” to life. After a phone call with Billy Hart and Ethan Iverson, Billy’s pianist and memoirist, and reading Billy’s memoire “Oceans of Time”, Ellie and Aidan have compiled a set list of 5 of Billy’s most influential and career changing pieces.
Billy Hart is known for his ground breaking multidirectional drumming style, featured on records such as “The Creator Has a Master Plan” by Pharoah Saunders and for his time playing with Jazz pianist, Herbie Hancock. The show also features composers: Shirley Horn, Zbigniew Seifert, and Buck Hill (all important peers/mentors to Billy). In preparation for this concert the Ellie Rui 瑞 ensemble will be attempting to play these pieces as true to the record as they can. They want to do their best to pay tribute to Billy Hart and his sound. This show is not only a tribute written by Ellie Rui 瑞 to her drum teacher, but also a celebration of the career of a living Jazz legend.

About:
A graduate of Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor’s degree in vocal jazz performance and acting studies, Lester has spent over 15 years shaping stages across the Midwest and South. His artistry has anchored powerhouse ensembles such as the Dennis Keith Experience, TVK Orchestra, and the Chicago Elite Orchestra, while his solo work—released under the name Lester Jay—blends house, R&B, and pop into a signature sound found on streaming platforms worldwide.
Lester’s musical journey is rooted in collaboration and community. He has worked with celebrated producers and DJs including DJ Ron Pullman (Atlanta), DJ Craig C (Colorado), The Bodega Boys (New York), and Deep Soul Syndicate (Chicago). His voice has crossed genres and generations, leading to creative partnerships with Grammy Award–winner Shawn Hibbler, Drag Race icons Yvie Oddly and Shea Coulee, and dynamic live performance collaborations with artists like Donald Lawrence and talents from American Idol.
At the heart of Lester’s artistry lies a deeper calling: honoring the legacy of Black soul and the artists who shaped it.
Today, Lester Jay and his band, The Jaystones, are in production for the ULTIMATE Luther Vandross Tribute—a show that celebrates Luther not only as a musical titan, but as a quiet, powerful pillar of Black queer expression. For Lester, Luther Vandross was more than a voice; he was a mirror. A reminder that tenderness, vulnerability, elegance, and emotional truth are sacred parts of Black identity, especially within the queer community. This tribute stands as a love letter to Luther and to the Black soul artists whose brilliance continues to inspire generations.
Lester’s performances—whether leading his band, honoring Amy Winehouse in Tears Dry on Their Own, or joining forces in collaborative live performances—are marked by a magnetic stage presence and a voice that carries both technical mastery and emotional depth. With The Jaystones behind him, each show becomes a cinematic experience: lush, intimate, and unforgettable.
Join Lester Jay on this journey through soul, memory, and celebration. Every note is a story. Every performance is an offering. And this tribute to Luther Vandross is a moment you won’t want to miss.
