About:
Blues fans worldwide know Johnny as a tireless road warrior, performing 200 nights a year worldwide. Johnny grew up in Starkville, Mississippi and went to University of Chicago at 18, but ended up attending "blues university" in Chicago's blues clubs for the following two decades. Since the early 90's Johnny has toured and recorded with blues legends such as Pinetop Perkins, Sam Lay, Tail Dragger and Billy Boy Arnold. Johnny's a 23 BMA Nominee for Best Traditional Blues Artist and he was nominated for a BMA for Best Traditional Blues CD of 2017 for Howlin' at Greaseland, a Howlin' Wolf tribute. His most recent release, "Ramblin From Coast to Coast", was the 6th most played blues release of '24 on The Big Blues Chart and was nominated by Blues Blast Magazine for the Best Traditional Blues Album.
Swedish Slide Guitar Queen Marie Martens is a veteran of her native Stockholm blues scene. She came to the States in '06 and self-released her debut, "Travelled" in 2019. In the last few years, she's toured all over the US with Johnny on bass and guitar. Blues fans love her tone control-- there's not a wasted note when she puts down the bass and lets loose on the slide guitar. Midwest Record

Since then, Zac has released two albums, with a third on the way, set to release in the fall of 2025.

About Dark Canyon:
Continuing the legacy of the spaghetti west, DARK CANYON presents a new vinyl release titled Long Days, Pleasant Nights. Inspired heavily by Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, LDPN has been conceived as a metaphysical western - a spacious exploration of grainy western landscapes. From delay swells to haunting pedal steel, mellotron passages to hypnotic percusion, you just may find yourself transported to a spring reverb soaked ghost town.
About Brokeback:
Brokeback began in 1995 as a solo performance outlet for Douglas McCombs. At the time McCombs’ bands Eleventh Dream Day and Tortoise had both achieved a level of sonic density that left him wanting to perform something quieter and more delicate. Some called Brokeback “ambient”. That is a stretch, but it did have a lot of space and was based around fairly simple melodies played on the Fender Bass VI. Over the years McCombs collaborated with a variety of people and the membership of Brokeback expanded or contracted, depending. This has led to the current line up, a democratically organized outfit consisting of Pete Croke on bass, James Elkington on guitar and Areif Sless-Kitain on drums along with Douglas McCombs on guitar and occasionally- the Fender Bass VI. This is a rock band but the emphasis still skews towards the quiet restraint that was the initial intent.

About:
If you were around during Chicago’s underground House Music movement or Rave scene in the late 80’s and early 90’s, then you’ll be utterly familiar with the name Julio Bishop. Whether from appearing weekly on some of the hottest party flyers throughout the Midwest or because you had a copy of his now infamous mix tape, “Love Nation” sold out of all the local record stores, the name Julio Bishop is synonymous with jacking dance floors since 1987.
Getting his start as a dancer and DJ in Chicago’s nightclubs and warehouses, but soon expanding his influence; from NYC to LA, to the beaches of Miami, Puerto Rico and Mexico, Germany and Sicily, Julio has been bringing his deep, mystifying grooves to the world for over 3 decades. His intimate knowledge of classic Afro-Latin and Jazz, , as well as his acquired proficiency of Disco, Electronica, Club & Deep House takes his sets far outside the realm of what is attainable by a greener selection of DJ’s.
Funneling his talents into the studio in the early 2000’s, Julio helped launch RealDEEP Recordings, along side label partner Brian Cullen (aka Bjak) where, together they paved the way to further coproductions and solo projects on labels such as Deep Explorer Music (Madrid) and Eargasmic Recordings (Chicago).
With more releases on the way and a selection of upcoming gigs scheduled between Chicago. Puerto Rico, LA & Hawaii, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for what’s to come next from this proved House Music veteran.

About Smiley Tillmon Band:
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 55 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. Kate Moss shares guitar duties with Tillmon; married to another blues guitar standout, Nick Moss, Kate’s sound is heavily influenced by Freddie King and Magic Sam (she fell in love with the blues at age 21 when she met Buddy Guy, and she’s shared stages with Buddy, Jimmy Johnson, Eddie Shaw, and Lurrie Bell, to name just a few). Drummer George Baumann completes one of the Windy City’s toughest blues combos, one that’ll keep you smiling from ear to ear. - Bill Dahl

About Lizzy & the Triggermen:
LA-based big band, Lizzy & the Triggermen, transport you back to the glamour of the Prohibition Era, but with a sound and swagger that is thrillingly new. As NPR raves, they are “one part Eartha Kitt, one part Ella Fitzgerald, on part Amy Winehouse.”
Their show is a “joyously subversive” (Broadway World) mixture of vintage swing and biting originals that highlight Lizzy's wicked sense of humor (which she previously used to create Emmy-nominated TV shows). Like the great tunes of the '30s which so inspire them, their music boldly tackles our modern troubles and turns them into killer dance songs that fill you with joy the way only a wailing horn section can.
Their debut album, "Good Songs for Bad Times," hit #3 on the iTunes Jazz Charts alongside jazz royalty Miles Davis and Kamasi Washington. They quickly went from performing in speakeasies to selling out top venues and jazz festivals across the country, co-headlining festivals with Samara Joy and Nancy Sinatra, touring with Squeeze and being chosen for SXSW.
The band is helmed by operatically-trained Lizzy with arrangements by living legend, Dan Barrett (who played with and arranged for Benny Goodman). But the star power emanates through the entire incredible band: a multi-generational dream team of crushers who have toured with everyone from Woody Herman to Harry Connick Jr. to Rachel and Vilray to Panic! at the Disco.
The show will also feature a pre-show swing dance lesson taught by popular local dance school, Traffic Jam Swing.

About:
Forget ordinary tributes! Dorothy Roberson, aka Chicago's Tina Turner, explodes onto the stage with a high-octane show that'll have you dancing in your seat (or maybe even on it!). This 68-year-old Tina Turner maverick isn't here to imitate – she's here to ignite. Prepare to be swept away by her powerhouse vocals that fill the room and a stage presence that crackles with charisma. Every show is an interactive journey, with Dorothy leading the charge.She belts out classic hits such as "The Best", "River Deep Mountain High","Private Dancer", "We don’t need another Hero", and "Nutbush City Limits", just to name a few. Sing along! Dance along! "Proud Mary"! This is more than a concert; it's an experience you won't forget!
COULD THE ENERGETIC, VIVACIOUS, BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED DOROTHY ROBERSON BE THE ONE TO KEEP TINA TURNER LEGACY ALIVE?
Dorothy Roberson is a well respected Live Chicago’s Tina Turner Tribute Artist. Dorothy Roberson is considered The Tina Turner Maverick with her amplified vocals that fills a room large or small that stems from her singing in a gospel church choir of 40 years! Some have said that she sounds as though she has a built in microphone because of her booming voice!
Dorothy now 68, has the energy of a 25 year old, when it comes to performing the music of the late Tina Turner. Dorothy is a well respected and highly praised live Tina Turner tribute artist who started off experimenting with the music of Tina Turner in front of iconic Chicago landmark buildings such as the Corner of Macys on State St., Chicago Theater, and outside the Wrigley Building. Dorothy was desperate and determined to find a musical way to make ends meet to support herself after similar parallel marriage situation as the Late Tina Turner. After an emotional divorce that left her financially crippled at age of 53 she put her strong gospel singing voice into action. Dorothy could be found every summer perfecting her Tina Turner Craft hoping that she could be potentially booked on a real stage platform. After six years of Tina Turner Street performing her resilience and determination finally paid off when she appeared on major Chicago newspapers, magazine covers, numerous radio interviews and appearances on the news. The exposure she received through the media led to the rise of what we know now as Chicago’s Tina Turner!

About:
Brother Jacob is a proud Chicago native, blues artist, radio host, and cultural preservationist whose performances blend the soul of gospel with the electric grit of Chicago blues. Born and raised on the city’s South Side, he fell in love with the blues as a child listening to WVON-AM’s Pervis Spann “The Blues Man” in the midnight hours. That deep musical foundation sparked a lifelong calling that would evolve into a unique voice on stage, over the airwaves, and in the city’s cultural conversations.
He began his professional journey through the Blues in the Schools program, performing at the Chicago Blues Festival under the mentorship of Deitra Farr. Over the years, Brother Jacob has become a familiar face on the scene, not just as a guest vocalist or sit-in performer, but as a frontman building a body of work with his own band and his own voice.
His music carries a spiritual intensity, rooted in storytelling and tradition, and driven by a mission to connect, uplift, and preserve. Brother Jacob delivers blues with reverence and revival.
Come down and celebrate Brother Jacob's birthday with an intimate set with "C.G." on keyboards!

LBJ: The Music & The Moment — 10th Anniversary Acoustic Celebration
Live at Epiphany Center for the Arts, Chicago, IL
Join acclaimed guitarist, composer, and bandleader LBJ (Larry Brown Jr.) for an unforgettable evening honoring the 10th anniversary of his celebrated sophomore release, The Music & The Moment. This one-night-only event features a stripped-down, acoustic reimagining of the original album—performed live in the intimate, acoustically rich setting of the Epiphany Center for the Arts in Chicago. Originally hailed by All About Jazz as “emotionally charged and stylistically expansive,” The Music & The Moment captured the soul of a musician deeply rooted in gospel, jazz, and blues traditions, yet unafraid to explore new musical terrain. Ten years later, LBJ returns to this defining work with fresh perspective, heart, and raw musicianship, inviting the audience to experience the music in its most vulnerable and soulful form. Expect inspired reinterpretations, stories behind the songs, and the kind of deep musical connection only a live, intimate acoustic set can provide

About:
Genesis of cincOH:
"OH" in Korean has a few meanings: a popular family name (my family name), the number five, among other things. Hence "cinco + OH" to signifies five decades I lived on this planet, my five organizing principles (Care, Community, Compassion, Dedication, & Integration), the five most important aspects of Tango to me (Music/Musicality, Ambience/Vibe in the room, Connection: both physical & emotional, Care/Respect for my partners & the ronda, and Finding Joy in every tanda), and finally the very first cincOH (2023) was the fifth large scale tango event I organized (*cincOH 4th edition will be my 9th event overall).
My vision for cincOH going forward:
cincOH is a semiannual traveling event only by invitation (by recommendations from you as well as my personal connections) which will be capped at 180-250 people (role balanced including/emphasis on switch dancers). The event typically includes some type of non-dancing elements whether it be community forum, lectures, and/or group activity. It also often include philanthropy/fundraising aspect for selected causes. In a nutshell, the goal is to create a meaningful and fun events in which attendees fell safe and cared for.
This edition will be a collaboration with La Maravilla Milonga of Chicago (Hosts: Khoi & Rachel).With our shared principles, we strive to create a meaningful gathering that is thoughtful, relaxed and safe for all attending.

About:
Luciano's performance takes the audience on a tour of Brazil by presenting a wide variety of Brazilian compositions combined with his own originals. In his Performance Luciano contrasts songs that have rich and complex harmonies and melodies with simple rhythms against songs that have simple harmonies and melodies with very complex rhythms, and the dynamics range from pure solo guitar and voice to the full sound of the rich Brazilian percussion in a fascinating musical way. Luciano released three albums, two of which are original music "Vida De Artista - An Artist's Life" in 2011 and “Sem Palavras – Without Words” in 2015. His 3rd Album is a 'Live Concert" at the prestigious Jazz Showcase. Make no mistake; Luciano has placed his stamp on the Brazilian music scene in Chicago.
