About:

Super Creeps is a Chicago-based David Bowie tribute. With all members playing in various bands until the COVID shutdown, Super Creeps only started in July of 2020 as a means to keep sane after music venues had closed. The members really liked David Bowie, so initially the impetus was just 5 guys getting together and playing some Bowie songs. One month later, having learned a dozen tunes, Super Creeps’ first performance was literally on an apartment building rooftop, playing for 15 socially-distanced people. The response was overwhelming – people cheering and watching from other surrounding buildings and an enthusiastic crowd had gathered in the alley below. The band knew they were onto something, and seeing the impact that Bowie had on their audience, decided to make Super Creeps a more serious venture. Using the entire Bowie catalog – spanning all eras, personas, and incarnations – Super Creeps has now amassed an impressive song list of Bowie material to choose from and is ready to steamroll you with the raw power, musical dexterity, and vocal prowess of Bowie through the decades.

Rocks Off is Chicago's premier and authentic Rolling Stones tribute, delivering the music, the look, and the attitude of the World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band! Whether it’s deep album cuts or your favorite live version, Rocks Off captures the Jagger moves, Keef riffs, Charlie Watts' groove, and the blazing Mick Taylor solos from their golden era of 1968-1973, a la Ladies and Gentlemen and Brussels Affair. But let's not overlook the songs of the mid 60's that launched the Stones as rock and roll superstars; Rocks Off nails all your favorites from the Brian Jones and Ronnie Wood eras. If you want to see the next best thing to being there 50 years ago, come and see Rocks Off for yourself at Epiphany’s Main Hall!

About Kick the Cat: 

Based in Chicago and Nashville, Kick The Cat is an internationally renowned fusion quartet. Musically, the band falls within the virtuosic lineage of classic fusion and prog ensembles like Return to Forever and Weather Report but draws on contemporary groove elements, electronics, and a healthy dose of humor. The result is a heady, yet approachable, combination of mind-bending rhythms, harmonies, and kaleidoscopic textures. 

The band formed while in college in the late 1990s, performing one another’s unique and challenging compositions. At the time, the four musicians lived together and worked on their music while also individually making names for themselves in the Chicago music scene. Over the last twenty years Kick The Cat has released three full length albums of original material and has performed hundreds of shows, headlining and opening for national acts such as Umphrey’s McGee, Vital Information, Oz Noy, Jazz Mandolin Project, John Novello, Stu Hamm, and more. KTC has long been noted as being one of the most engaging ensembles to emerge from Chicago’s richly varied scene.

About: 

Ian Jake Robleza is a 22 year-old Filipino American singer-songwriter/audio engineer from Aurora, Illinois. He produces mostly acoustic music, but draws from many different genres (easy rock, rap, indie folk/rock, musical theater, etc.) and hopes to deliver eclectic, energetic, and emotional performances to any audience, no matter the size. From intimate ballads to crowd sing-alongs, he recounts intricate feelings with vulnerability, passion, and a fondness for human connection.

Throughout the self-release of his first two albums and a handful of singles, Ian continues to finish his studies at Columbia College Chicago, majoring in Audio Arts and minoring in Philosophy.

His latest EP is the turn of a new leaf- “How I’ve Been” is an oddly personal insight into a new chapter of his young adult life. Opening with the title track, “Wabash Ave” propels us into his new surroundings, encountering themes of exploration, self-image, and infatuation. The second track, “Liana”, only takes us deeper into that personal rabbit hole, as we find ourselves asking the question of who the song was really written about. “Taking a Toll” is the slower third track, reflecting on the aftermath of the pandemic, and how we go about making a connection with people again after all that isolation. The final track, “Qualia” is a candid response to the age-old question: “Why do you love them?” as he attempts to explain how falling in love is a deeply personal experience that no one could ever perfectly encapsulate through words alone. 

This next collection of songs sees Ian at his most professional, yet most lighthearted, taking the listener through this brief moment in the beginning of his 20s.

Even though this is his first show he was classically trained through grade school with performances locally and internationally. Throughout the self-release of his first 10 singles he continues to finish his studies at Columbia College Chicago, majoring in Music Tech. Blxckwell hopes to deliver to his audience an ambitious and introspective outlook on life, creating self-portraits through his music.

About: 

Join us November 3rd for a unique and thrilling night from a supergroup of musicians from all over corners of the country performing works from the worlds of folk, classical, and cinematic music. The program will include Ravel, string quartet selections arranged by the Danish String Quartet, Traditional Irish music, and our string quartet featuring the pipes. Our concert is by musicians from “The Pilgrim Chamber Players” based in Highland Park, IL, directed by cellist Steven Honigberg.  

THE PERFORMERS: 

Special guest from Los Angeles, film soundtrack veteran bagpipe and whistle player ERIC RIGLER will be featured playing selections from “Titanic” and “Braveheart”, two films he recorded on the original soundtrack for. His legendary 50-year career on the bagpipes & whistles is world-famous. From performing "Amazing Grace" at President Reagan’s  funeral to hundreds of appearances in film soundtracks, Eric has been called "the most recorded piper in history".

Chicago based KATIE GRENNAN’S traditional fiddle playing carries the articulation of a gifted classical musician tempered by the soul of a champion Irish dancer. Her wide ranging experience as an international touring performer in both live stage productions and television have given her a unique platform as an ambassador for the music of her heart. Katie was the fiddler in the popular celtic-fusion band Gaelic Storm for over five years, has recorded a number of solo albums, and is involved in a number of cutting edge musical projects, including The Winifred Horan Quartet, The Bow Tides & Chicago-based STEAM Quartet.

Chicago based JOHN WILLIAMS is internationally regarded as one of the foremost players of Irish music today. With five All-Ireland titles to his credit, John is the only American-born competitor ever to win first place in the Senior Concertina category. His additional talents on flute, button accordion, bodhran, and piano distinguish him as a much sought after multi-instrumentalist in the acoustic scene around the world.

Los Angeles based fiddler and violinist LILY HONIGBERG performs all kinds of genres of music, from Irish fiddle music to pop music to classical music and on. She graduated from New England Conservatory as a Classical violinist in 2018, and completed her studies there in 2020 with a Master’s Degree in Contemporary Improvisation. Lily released her debut album of original fiddle music, Sunrise Summit, in the summer of 2021 with incredible musicians John Doyle on guitar and James Heazlewood-Dale on bass. 

JINTY MCTAVISH is a classically-trained violinist known for her passionate performances, fiery improvisations, and Paul Buckmaster-inspired string arrangements. When she’s not performing with ATLYS, you can find her shredding in the clubs across Chicago with a DJ as @jintshred or snuggling with her beloved puppy Appa.

Chicago based violist WILFRED FARQUHARSON enjoys a multi-faceted performance career as studio, orchestral, and chamber musician. Wilfred currently serves as faculty at the Merit School of Music, and he is the violist of D-Composed Chicago and Crossing Borders Music. He also has served as principal violist of the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra as well as substitute musician of the Lyric Opera of Chicago. In the summer of 2022, Wilfred performed with the Grant Park Symphony Orchestra as one of their fellows He was a Los Angeles Orchestra Fellow which meant he served as a mentor to the students of the Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles and performed with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra while he was a graduate student at USC. Prior to becoming an LA Orchestra Fellow, Wilfred attended the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University as a Premier Young Artist 

Cellist and Artistic Director STEVEN HONIGBERG (a Highland Park native) comes to lead Pilgrim after having directed several prominent chamber music series in his career: 8 years at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC where he premiered a number of new works. Honigberg was hired by Mstislav Rostropovich to join the National Symphony Orchestra in 1984. Honigberg has been featured numerous times as a soloist with the NSO.  He won rave reviews for the 1988 world premiere of David Ott’s Concerto for Two Cellos performed with the National Symphony and conducted by Msistlav Rostropovich, with repeat performances on the NSO’s 1989 and 1994 United States tours.

Pilgrim Chamber Players offers music-lovers in the North Shore and Chicago area the opportunity to enjoy high-caliber Classical chamber music concerts in an intimate and convivial setting. Artists presented at these concerts are at the top of their fields - performers who are at home on the stages of the great halls of North America, Europe and beyond. My programs are extremely varied and the atmosphere welcoming that makes people want to return again and again.
