About:

Embarking on a rhythmic journey that intertwines her West Indian roots with the vibrant heartbeat of Brooklyn, NY, emerges an artist who resonates far beyond soundwaves. Faith Quashie, a contemporary vocalist and a beacon of musical innovation.

Recipient of not just one, but two coveted DownBeat Magazine Awards, Faith stands as a testament to the transformative power of melody and lyric. Drawing inspiration from luminaries such as Cassandra Wilson's raw storytelling, Jill Scott's unapologetic authenticity, and the ethereal charm of Lianne La Havas, Faith's voice navigates the spectrum of human emotion with an unmatched finesse.

Guided by mentors who have left their indelible mark on the sonic tapestry of jazz - from the harmonious elegance of New York Voices to the boundary-defying creativity of säje, and the soulful musings of Carla Cook - Faith's artistic tapestry is woven from threads of wisdom and ingenuity.

A seasoned traveler across stages, Faith's presence is a magnetic force. Whether leading the ensemble as a bandleader or weaving sonic narratives as a sideman, her versatility and command over her craft are mesmerizing. Beyond the stage, Faith stands as a cornerstone within her community, a driving force in the movement to elevate women in music. Collaborating with luminaries like Cyrille Aimee, Candice Hoyes, and Sasha Berliner through the Women in Jazz Organization, Faith is not just a vocalist, but a catalyst for change.

A recent participant in The Woodshed Network Residency program alongside the legendary Dee Dee Bridgewater and an assembly of industry titans including Sheila E., Faith's trajectory is set to soar even higher. This program served as a launchpad, propelling her career into new dimensions through the alchemy of networking and transformative workshops.

Faith's musical philosophy transcends mere performance, delving into the realms of spiritual liberation. Her compositions are a conduit for catharsis, resonating across generations, intertwining the past, present, and future. As you embark on an auditory odyssey with Faith Quashie, you're not just listening to music - you're partaking in an experience that transcends time, a symphony of the soul that speaks to the very essence of our human journey.

Umraan Syed with C3zr

Date: Wednesday, May 1, 2024

Doors: 5PM for Golden Hour 

Showtime: 7:30PM 

Tickets: $13 - General Admission | $15 - Day of show

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

About Umraan Syed:

Umraan Syed is a visionary artist from Chicago, revolutionizing the music scene with his experimental and progressive hip-hop. His music, rich in metaphoric and lyrical depth, draws from personal experiences and a keen observation of the world around him. Umraan's debut album, "Bismillah," showcased his innovative sound, blending genres and setting the stage for his critically acclaimed follow-up, "House in the Vines."

As he gears up for the release of his highly anticipated album, "Z E N I T H," fans can expect an even more adventurous sonic journey. Known for his dynamic live performances, Umraan brings a powerful band to the stage, seamlessly fusing elements of jazz, rock, R&B, and hip-hop to create an unforgettable live show experience. Don't miss the chance to witness this groundbreaking artist in action – Umraan Syed is truly a force to be reckoned with.

About C3zr:

"Chicago pianist, songwriter, and producer Cesar Pino writes music with a location in mind, be it a beach, a rooftop while looking up at the sky at night, or even somewhere in the mainframe of Tron, thanks to a consistent use of electronic drums and synth bass. Donning the moniker C3zr, Pino’s project combines his background as a classically trained and jazz pianist with the electronic funk or soul of his favorite artists like Kaytranada, Daft Punk, Robert or Glasper.

Anyone could find themselves in the world Pino creates in his electronically produced but soulful debut album, Round Voyage(600 Block Records). But the songwriting and setting is still distinctly inspired by Chicago, set along the city’s lakefront by day and the city’s river at night."
