Damon Locks & Ken Vandermark Project
Damon Locks and Ken Vandermark began to collaborate as a duo through an invitation to perform at Chicago's Hyde Park Jazz Festival in September of 2020. Their material is based on their collective histories, which include decades of work with a variety of musical aesthetics and artists that have taken place during hundreds of concerts and dozens of recordings, at home and abroad. Their performances are a unique combination of pre-recorded materials, improvisation, electronics, and reed instruments, and are focused on spontaneous interaction and creation.

Jennifer Allen and the Heart of Alchemy
Jennifer Allen will be performing the music off her latest album, Possibilities, which unfolds with her signature introspection and melodic richness, inviting listeners into a soundscape where curiosity, truthfulness, and transformation take root. The album explores what becomes available when we soften our grip on certainty and lean into the unknown. Possibilities offers a deeply personal yet universally resonant meditation on change, resilience, and the quiet power of choosing openness over fear.
