About the Artists:

Cracker

Cracker has been described as a lot of things over the years: alt-rock, Americana, insurgent-country, and have even had the terms punk and classic-rock thrown at them. But more than anything Cracker are survivors. Co-founders David Lowery and Johnny Hickman have been at it for over a quarter of a century – amassing ten studio albums, multiple gold records, thousands of live performances, hit songs that are still in current radio rotation around the globe [“Low,” “Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now),” “Euro-Trash Girl” and “Get Off This,” to name just a few], and a worldwide fan base – that despite the major sea-changes within the music industry – continues to grow each year.

Aaron Lee Tasjan

For his entire career Aaron has been a genre-bending rising star who’s bold, timeless sound and songwriting has established him as one of the most idiosyncratic artists and songwriters of his generation. Learn more

May Erlewine

One of the Midwest’s most prolific and passionate songwriters, May’s delicate arrangements seem to land somewhere between the go-to labels, making it difficult to describe and easier to enjoy. Learn more

Anne Harris & Dave Herrero

Nora O'Connor w/ Steve Dawson

In-demand singer/multi-instrumentalist Nora O'Connor joins forces with Chicago Folk / Americana singer-songwriter, Steve Dawson, who has been called “one of the most underrated songwriters in American music.” Learn more

Michele McGuire

Michele’s candid lyrics, charming stage banter and soulful voice will stick with you long after the show ends as she creates an alt-country sound all her own. Learn more

The Backups

The Backups are a soulful, harmony-driven lady trio made up of Leslie Sypian, Meredith George and Morgan Ingle who were drawn together by their shared love of music. Learn more
