Since 2017 the group has been intriguing crowds with their explosive and energetic live show, with songs that make you want to dance and cry!

"When ostracized and misunderstood green-skinned Elphaba is forced to share a room with the popular aristocrat Glinda, the two’s unlikely friendship is tested as they begin to fulfill their respective destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West," (Letterboxd)

"Wicked the movie is simply spectacular. It’s the rare adaptation that properly translates all of the elements that make the musical so enchanting, while also adding aspects that enhance the story and offer a uniquely different experience," - Ron Seoul-Oh (POC Culture)

Motherfolk: Serious songs from goofy people. That’s what you can expect from diverse, Midwest Indie-rockers, Motherfolk. What started out as a writing project among two college friends turned into a fully realized band untethered to genres, with an endlessly bright future.

Composed of Bobby Paver and Nathan Dickerson on vocals and guitar, bassist Clayton
Allender, drummer Ethan Wescott, and Karlie Dickerson on keys Motherfolk are not only
bandmates, but best friends. The band’s close-knit relationship allows each member to be their most authentic self, leaving every ounce of their souls to be poured into each song and
high-energy performance.

Despite their light-hearted, groovy-rock sound Motherfolk is dedicated to creating a much
deeper connection with their fans. They don’t shy away from the taboo, taking on heavy topicswith a light heart. The results provide us with music you can dance to, whose impact is felt long after the song has ended.

The band’s quirky friendship and social media posts originally drew fans in, but their connection to the music kept those fans around. Since their formation Motherfolk has been on a steady upward trajectory, amassing well over 5 million Spotify streams on their three studio albums and selling out shows while touring heavily across the United States.

While COVID-19 halted the band’s year of touring plans, Motherfolk spent the year hard at work, creating and self-producing new music and they came out anew. Late summer 2021 will invigorate fans with new singles adorning the most refreshing and versatile Motherfolk sound to date, leading up to a fall EP release. This next chapter is slated to be the most exciting one yet, don’t miss it!

LINE: An indie pop band unafraid to stretch and play with labels, LINE weaves singer-songwriter sensibilities with multigenre arrangements. Vocalist Maddie Batzli works with bandmates Austin Lynch, Esther Chun, and other collaborators to create songs that include multi-part harmonies, intricate slap basslines, folk instrumentation, and electronic synth tracks. LINE’s songs seek to span a wide range of emotion, often within a single verse, with personal reflection, queer love, and social commentary showing up as common themes. As a queer band, LINE’s willingness to explore paradoxes extends to playful stage aesthetics and lyrics centering philosophical questions, at once campy and achingly sincere. By sharing the vulnerability of holding multiple truths at once, LINE aims to invite listeners to live more deeply into their own experiences. From daring to acknowledge (and contain) multitudes comes much needed space for possibility, rare in a time when pessimism and hope can often feel like a binary.

Japanese taiko drumming is truly an experience like no other, and the ensemble YAMATO, founded more than 30 years ago, represents the best of the best. The electrifying rhythm of taiko drumming combined with this tradition’s theatrical choreography creates a physical, visceral musical event that is both soothing and invigorating. Trotting the globe on tour for decades, YAMATO preserves this longstanding cultural practice while sharing it with the world at large for all to enjoy and appreciate.
