Headliner: Anna Soltys and the Familiar

Anna Soltys and the Familiar is a modern Folk Rock band with an entrancing new sound. Anna spent the first part of her childhood in Poland followed by 6 years in Paris before she moved to her self-proclaimed home, Chicago. It is the cross-cultural awareness that may awaken the type of delivery that is so unique to her sound. On top of the music, her lyrical, poetic content fills the heart with an awareness of the self we could all use a little of.

Anna’s music explores and embodies elements of pain, strength, honesty, and sorrow. From start to finish, lyrically driven simple melodies leave you with a sense of colorful melancholy.

Headliner: The Chris Greene Quartet

The Chris Greene Quartet - led by the Evanston saxophone colossus -  played its first gig in 2005 and has since become one of the most highly visible, award-winning and critically lauded bands in the Chicago area. While honoring jazz’s tradition, the band incorporates elements of funk, hip-hop, rock, Afro-Cuban, the blues and reggae, reflecting their diverse backgrounds. The band features Greene on saxophones, Damian Espinosa on piano and keyboards, Marc Piane on double and electric basses, and Steve Corley on drums and percussion. CGQ is currently celebrating the release of “Conversance,” the first ever jazz release for Chicago’s longest-running indie rock label, Pravda Records.
