BIO: A little drama never hurt anybodyEmei knows how to bring it too. Shes an unabashed theater kid who grew up into an Ivy League-educated pop femme fatale at the helm of a crazy, candy-coated, and colorful world of her own making. With a bold voice thats as vibrant as her personality, the New Jersey-born Chinese-American songstress delivers clever and catchy anthems meant to be blasted out loud.After gathering over a quarter-of-a-billion streams, selling out shows, and attractingmulti-GRAMMY Award-winning mega-producer Ricky Reed [Lizzo, Leon Bridges, Camila Cabello, Phantogram, Jon Batiste] to her corner, she embraces her theatricality on her Night At The Opera EP [Atlantic Records / Nice Life].I grew up doing theater, but the vibe changed when my pop music career started, she states. I wanted to lean into being a theater kid again. This project is definitely a homecoming. My subconscious bullied teenage brain is always like, You dont want to try so hard. Just be cool. But fuck that! I like trying hard. Its part of who I am. I care about every little detail. So, youre going to get all of the pain, emotion, and drama from me!

One of the lynchpins of Chicagos flourishing songwriter scene is Steve Dawson, a songwriter and vocalist who elevates everything he touches. - WBEZ Chicago An evocative, brilliant songwriter who imbues his songs and recordings with folk, country, and a smattering of soul he should, by all rights, be a household name. - Popmatters Steve Dawson will look back over 35 years of songs and music making, including songs from his first Chicago band, Stump The Host, through Dolly Varden, Funeral Bonsai Wedding and up to his more recent critically acclaimed solo albums, Ghosts, and At The Bottom of a Canyon in the Branches of a Tree. Over the course of 6 albums with Dolly Varden, 4 solo albums, and 2 albums with the jazz / folk combo, Funeral Bonsai Wedding, Dawson has delved into all corners of American music and dug deep into the mysteries and wonders of life, mortality, love and memory. Dawson will be joined by a few guest musicians for this evenings show. Originally from San Diego, California, he spent his teen years in Hailey, Idaho, where he learned guitar and started writing songs. After a few years at the Berklee School of Music in Boston, Dawson moved to Chicago and formed the band, Stump the Host, with his future wife, artist and singer, Diane Christiansen. Later he formed, recorded and toured with Dolly Varden and Funeral Bonsai Wedding. More recently he has created critically acclaimed solo albums for the Pravda record label. Dawson also teaches songwriting at the legendary Old Town School of Folk Music and co-wrote a book on songwriting and the creative process with Mark Caro called, Take It To The Bridge: Unlocking The Great Songs Inside You. In 2020 Dawson was awarded the Esteemed Artist Award from the City of Chicago.

Unabashedly poppy and shimmery, Biitchseat was formed in Cleveland in 2017 by best friends and guitar players Talor Smith (she/they) and Kristin Schmit (she/her). The pop sensibility and sparkle in their music is only matched by their live performances, which are always energetic and, at times, captivating and vulnerable. - Empty Heaven is a project that asks you to get lost in it. Between the cavalcade of releases from the year 2025 (6 albums), the performances that are never the same twice, and a very broad emotional bandwidth, it's Anthony's internal world made manifest. Sometimes, it's the 6-piece band version of Empty Heaven creating a dizzying sonic atmosphere, or it's Anthony solo at the piano doing an interactive, freewheeling show. Either way, EH puts on a show to be remembered and mulled over. - Whenever generations look back on the downward trends and jostled psyches of the post-lockdown 2020s, they might do so while revisiting a cavernous, inactive shopping mall. Once titans of monoculture, then obliterated by two-day timelines, these ransacked husks are reminders of the shuttering divide between commerce, community, and the grey areas that rest between those two nebulous, often opposing ideas. Like all of us stuck indoors ruminating on every data point beamed into our brains, Cleveland songwriter Molly O'Malley alternated between honing another batch of hooky, textured arrangements and finding eurekas in those liminal betweens.

Portland, OR-based singer-songwriter Laura Veirs has forged a career singing personal songs of romantic intoxication, everyday vignettes, and social commentary that are often heavy on introspection and intense character scrutiny. She is fascinated with the intersection of poetry and science and explores this in her lyrics.While Found Light is technically the 12th studio LP from the esteemed Portland, OR-based artist, it also, in many ways, feels like her debut: Found Light is her very first record with co-production credits (alongside Shahzad Ismaily), and finds Veirs embracing a self-sovereignty and artistic independence shed never known previously.If 2020s My Echo was Veirs divorce album, Found Light is about what comes after.

21+ 8pm DOORS

Kweelag is 3-piece fuzzed out Dark Souls rock. T. Maguire is a five-piece post-hardcore band from Chicago, IL FFO: Title Fight, At the Drive-In, La Dispute, and Slint. Laikaa is a 4-piece band heavily influenced by the late 80s - early 90s alternative underground music scene. Taking inspiration from artists such as Nirvana, My Bloody Valentine, and Slowdive. Laikaa brings the energy by performing with atmospheric sounds, grungy guitars, ratty vocals, kick ass drums, and Josh busting some moves throughout the set.

Doors: 8PM / Show: 9PM / 21+Its hard to pin down Faux Real. The Franco-American art pop duo, comprised of brothers Elliott and Virgile Arndt, have been steadily broadening the scope of their project. Their high-octane DIY performances, involving matching costumes, synchronised dance routines, and crowd-splitting high-kicks, are taking on a more established and ever more unhinged form think Iggy Pop meets Eurodance boyband. Toeing the line between undeniable pop potential and an off-kilter flair lies at the core of everything they do. The contradictions between order and chaos, between the visceral and the artificial thats where Faux Real truly shines. That said, no one really knows what is real and what is faux, and thats the magic of it all.

Jonathan Hannau is a Chicago-based composer and pianist whose original work embraces the surreal, minimal, and abstract possibilities of music. Heartfelt and honest, he creates ambient environments, long expressive melodies, and intricate rhythms supported by live looping and improvisation. For this particular set he will be joined by his longtime collaborator and friend Richard Brasseale on saxophone. Fueled by mutual admiration and creative desperation, Momo (hornist) and Alvin (jazz guitarist) first engaged the challenges of cross-genre collaboration in 2020. The Chicago-based duo has released several records of co-composed originals and arrangements prioritizing loyalty to personal taste and individuality over genre. Their pieces are constructed as sequences of shapes, events, and dialogues, built on structured spontaneity.

Doors: 9PM / Show: 10PM / 21+ Horse Jumper of Love thrive on patient and uncompromising songs. Thanks to frontman Dimitri Giannopoulos evocative lyrics and arrangements that suddenly turn from delicate to blistering, their music is full of intensity. While the Boston trio, which also includes bassist John Margaris and drummer James Doran, has stretched the fringes of indie, their latest is their most immediate yet. Out August 16 via Run For Cover Records, Disaster Trick tackles self-destructiveness with healing and heart.Where Horse Jumper of Loves last release 2023s Heartbreak Rules excelled with quiet, bare-bones songwriting, Disaster Trick cranks up the volume while keeping the no-frills intimacy of the bands catalog. Recorded at Asheville, North Carolinas Drop of Sun Studios with producer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Indigo De Souza), the recordings soar with searing guitars and an unshakeable rhythm section. I tried the quiet thing on the last album and I realized theres definitely two parts of me: I like really heavy music, and I like really gentle music, says Giannopoulos. The two albums I listened to the most while we were in the studio were Leonard Cohens Songs From a Room and Hums Downward is Heavenward. This contrast between quiet and loud exists throughout Disaster Trick but its animated by stark emotion and straightforward, timeless songwriting.
