Adjacent Cruise

Chicago

Americana, Acoustic Rock, Indie

Combining the voices of Chicago native rock n' roll singer-songwriter Shannon Richardson and Hong Kong raised classically trained musician Yuen-Yee Richardson, Adjacent Cruise aims to bring differences together and create something beautifully unique in its own way. The group often collaborates with local musicians with different backgrounds and musical styles. Actively performing since 2016, Adjacent Cruise has since released its 20-track debut album "Light as a Feather, Heavy like the Sun" in late 2019 and received several enthusiastic reviews.

Calico Loco

Chicago

Indie Rock

"With a sound described as the sonic equivalency of a bedazzled denim jacket, CalicoLoco is breaking through the Chicago music scene. Combining infectious melodies with lyrically driven noise-pop, CalicoLoco has created their own special brand of glitzy indie pop. What started out as the queer pop bedroom project of singer-songwriter Dani Robles, has now evolved into a fuzzy mix of dreamy twee pop and bubble grunge with the addition of guitarists Zeke Ramsey & Curran Chapman, bassist Sarah Dodge, and drummer Ricky Georgen."
