 Kamikazee Vigilante is an original progressive rock project based in Chicago, IL. Their music ranges from delicate to unrestrained, all the while incorporating well-formed grooves and alluding to something dark and sinister just beneath the surface.

DISTRICT 97 is undoubtedly the most musically adventurous rock band in the world to feature an American Idol Top 10 Female Finalist. Since 2008, this quintet from Chicago has melded an adventurous, uncompromising instrumental prowess with the look, sound, and stage presence of vocalist Leslie Hunt. Through world tours and a stream of studio and live releases, the band has garnered a worldwide fanbase; collaborating with the iconic late singer/bassist John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia, UK) and drawing praise from Bill Bruford (drummer of Yes/King Crimson/Genesis), Mike Portnoy (drummer of Dream Theater/Avenged Sevenfold) and other rock luminaries along the way. DISTRICT 97 rehearses doggedly to refine their compositions, ensemble-playing, and stage presentation; their standards for excellence have only grown more rigorous with the passage of time. Their latest studio album STAY FOR THE ENDING (released October 2023) has been widely acclaimed as their greatest work to date.

 Improvisation and an eclectic set of original music are at the core of Elysian Green. Guitarist Cole Runge, pianist Clay Corso, bassist Vinny Kabat, and drummer TJ Thompson make up the Chicago-based fusion group and are continually evolving their sound but always retain the fiery solos and unique songwriting. The band just released their first full-length album, Things to Sing About, and is looking ahead to new projects.
