About T'aira Lashae: T’aira Lashae (they/she) is an interdisciplinary artist blending text, fibers, and film into new worlds exploring human nature and its relationship to the environment, queer politics, and family ties. Based in Chicago, they are a Poet in Residence at The Chicago Poetry Center and have been published in Poems While You Wait: 15-year Anniversary Anthology and Yes Project Gallery Copy Zine. Growing up in a family of musicians, T’aira’s music journey began at a young age where poetry and music blended into one as she took inspirations from Paramore, Willow, and Eartha Kitt. About Maria Valezquez: Maria F. Velazquez is a Chicago-born urban farmer, maker, and occasional musician. Velazquez's alto and grounded voice is accompanied by her stylized western folk sound. Her inspiration stemming from singer songwriters and somber songs, lends well to her love for a simple setup-- a woman and her parlour guitar. She is honored to return to the Epiphany Center to share her songs once more. About Jovian Moon: Jovian Moon is a improvisational group based out of Chicago who ties in inspiration from jazz, RnB, Blues, Funk, and Fusion into all of their music. They love to see where the music takes them on stage and communicate these things live on stage through their instruments. You'll hear a mix of originals and covers and they will bring the ENERGY.
