FOCUS on the Arts
Highland Park High School
We are beyond stoked to return to the 2025 Focus on the Arts festival at Highland Park High School to present our clinic:
Jazz for people who think they hate jazz. As lifetime students of music, we’re no strangers to the importance of a good music teacher, so we are thrilled to pay our passion forward to young artists and fans at this amazing fest.
Fri April 4
Studio5
Evanston, IL
This is a special one - on Fri 4/14 we’re playing our self-titled debut record in its entirety. And we’re doing it in the incredible Studio5 performing arts space in Evanston. Top-notch acoustics, a full-size grand piano, not a bad seat in the house. This show will sell out, folks - grab a ticket now!

Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co.
Milwaukee, WI
Wisconsin is becoming our home-away-from-home it seems :) Our first gig in Milwaukee will be at Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co, an unassuming-by-day, sublime-by-night music venue that we first discovered when our friends J-Livi & the Party played there last summer. Love at first show doesn’t even begin to describe it. See you there!

We’re stretching our shred-tentacles into the town of Madison WI for one night the Bur Oak, a newly-renovated century-old building in the Atwood neighborhood. Can’t wait to make tons of new Madison friends :)
