Hearthands Album Release featuring Starcharm and Saccharine

Date: Thursday, September 17, 2026 

Doors: 5PM for Golden Hour | 7PM to Sanctuary 

Showtime: 7:30PM 

Tickets: $15 Advance | $20 Day of show 

About Hearthands:

Hearthands is an indie rock band from Chicago, Illinois. Formed at the end of 2024, Hearthands released their debut EP Devotion in September of the following year, which was recorded at Electrical Audio with producer Nick Netherton. In September 2026, Hearthands will be releasing their first full length record Destroyer. Collaborating again with Nick Netherton, Hearthands spent 7 days in a barn making the record come to life. Moving away from the dreamier sounds of Devotion, the record takes inspiration from 90s slowcore, 60s jangly guitar music, noise pop, and current DIY bands in the Midwest while maintaining an interest in 80s chorus effects and shoegaze glide guitar. The band is composed of members Abigail Miller, Jacob Wolf, Jordan Zamansky, Maddie Haynes, and Mike Higgins. The members of Hearthands are active in the Chicago music scene and also play in the projects A Giant Pit of Glass, Able Baker, Herald Looms, and Sunshy.

About the Event:
Sacred Threads is an evening runway presentation by MM Productions featuring independent Chicago designers within the restored architecture of Epiphany Center for the Arts, bringing the runway into a candlelit realm of adornment, reverence, and ceremonial escape.
Inspired by old-world ornament, ancient royalty and romantic symbolism, the presentation places contemporary Chicago fashion within a setting shaped by history, ritual, and transformation.
The evening unfolds through meditative sound, live performance, and resinous fragrance woven throughout the space. Together, these elements move the room beyond spectacle, drawing guests into a heightened state of attention.
Reimagining the traditional fashion show, Sacred Threads becomes a living environment where clothing, architecture, sound, light, and ceremony are brought together as one complete experience.

About:

You’ve never experienced Epiphany Hall quite like this before.

At the intersection of music and well-being is EQUINOX, an immersive sound healing experience marking the Autumn Equinox and inviting you beyond the traditional concert format into a space of deep restoration and renewal. Created and performed by renowned singer and sound healing artist Davin Youngs, EQUINOX is a reimagined “sound bath” that honors seasonal transition through sound, stillness, and transformation.

Using improvisational singing, live looping, crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, and other overtone-rich instruments, Davin builds an evolving sonic landscape in real time. Layer upon layer of sound unfolds, guiding listeners inward and creating space for reflection, release, and recalibration. What sets EQUINOX apart is the subtle integration of electronic beats, seamlessly woven into the organic textures of the voice, mirroring the rhythms and complexity of the inner world.

This is an experience designed to leave you grounded, refreshed, and deeply renewed.

Please note: Yoga mats and blankets will not be provided. Guests are encouraged to bring their own mats, blankets, pillows, eye masks, and anything else that will support comfort and relaxation. Wear comfortable clothing and plan to fully settle in.

More About Davin Youngs

Singer and sound healing artist Davin Youngs has been described as a “true musical innovator” and a “magician of the soul,” known for his ability to harness voice and sound as tools for transformation. His immersive sound experience, The RESET, is a distinctive take on the modern sound bath, blending improvisational singing, looping technology, sound healing instruments, and electronic elements to create a powerful container for restoration and discovery.

Davin has brought his work to iconic spaces including The Kennedy Center Concert Hall, Chicago Orchestra Hall, Finney Chapel at Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and the rooftop of Ace Hotel.

About EAR:

IDM-indebted duo ear operates as a fifty-fifty collaborative art project. Their collage-like approach to production pairs experimental textures with the sentimentality and specificity of their songwriting.

About Quiet Light:

Quiet Light (AKA Riya Mahesh) is a Texas-based producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist. Her songs are, in her own words, “dream sequences” — her Lynchian, liminal electropop sounds are both frozen in time and built to withstand its weathering, weaving sharp, sparse songwriting with gossamer strands of ambient, electronic, and folk. Her 2020 self-titled debut EP Quiet Light foregrounded a virtuosic run of independent, self-produced records, including 2023’s Blue Angel Sparkling Silver and Fourth of July, Going Nowhere (2024), and Pure Hearts (2025). Along the way, she’s earned critical acclaim from outlets like The FADER, been co- signed by Iggy Pop, and provided direct support for Cameron Winter, Erika de Casier, Nilufer Yanya, and Chanel Beads on tour. Now, with her mixtape Blue Angel Sparkling Silver 2, her debut release on True Panther (Oklou, Jawnino, Grace Ives) which released April 24th, 2026, she's proved she’s a generational voice that’s here to stay.
