Jason Balla [Dehd, Accessory] curated a line-up of some of Chicago’s youngest, hottest talent for this Month’s GREEN.

Uniflora is a post-punk dream. The teenage DIY group has been making waves as the all-ages Chicago band explosion [see Horsegirl, Lifeguard, Sharp Pins] shows no sign of slowing.

TV Buddha has been making a name for themselves playing that sometimes border on performance art. Their music is a series of echos from other genres like folk, powerpop, punk. Wholly their own sound but somehow always familiar.

Listen in on Friday and also take in Christmas Barf! 🎄🎅🤮 Tickets on DICE. 🎟️

She maybe the most prolific Chicago musician, Macie Stewart is a songwriter, arranger, performer who has quietly been a powerhouse behind the scenes.

Stewart is a sought-after collaborator performing and recording with Jeff Tweedy, Mannequin P***y, and Makaya McCraven. Macie’s own projects like her solo songwriting work, her improvised and creative music groups (often with partner Lia Kohl & Whitney Johnson), and the art rock band Finom have gathered accolades from around the country for this city.

In January, Macie will be spending the small window of time she has in town to set up every week in our cozy Tavern. In addition to collaborating alongside some of the best talent in the city, she’ll be performing four unique solo or duo sets of her own projects.

Wooo!

We are excited to support Color Club of Chicago, IL as a 2025 Music in Action grantee!

Built in 1922, the building that is now Color Club was first the meeting place of Chicago’s Independent Order of Vikings. The Latvian Community Center and Folk Art Museum took ownership in 1958 and have celebrated countless occasions within the building’s two ballrooms, tavern, museum and more. Now, Color Club operates as a gathering space for Chicago's creative community - part music venue, part experimental incubator for the city’s next generation of emerging talent.
