Rebecca Rego & The Trainmen is a Midwest-based folk and indie rock band fronted by singer-songwriter and producer Rebecca Rego. Known for a hushed Wisconsin folk sound, the group has been active for over 15 years, evolving from Rego’s solo work into a collaborative ensemble with wide ranging influences and sound.

Reilly Downes is a torchbearer of modern heartbreak, blending rustbelt grit with cosmic country soul. Hailing from Texas and now rooted in the Chicago music scene, she’s made a name for herself with her “small, but mighty” voice and songs that cut to the bone. Downes has shared the stage with artists like Maggie Rose, Kaitlin Butts, and Jaime Wyatt, and has been featured in Rollingstone.

With a background in both the Americana and indie circuits, Reilly delivers raw, emotionally charged performances with her band, The Acid Cowboys. Her songs, like sad polaroids of love and loss, explore themes of queer identity, grief, and survival.

She is currently in the process of recording her sophomore album with executive production by Jaime Wyatt who has worked alongside Butch Walker, Shooter Jennings, The Black Pumas, and more.

White Lucy is a Chicago-based alternative R&B band led by duo Chase Carson and Micah Boyce. The project serves as a vehicle for collaboration, bringing together a wide range of Chicago’s most exciting up-and-coming and established artists to craft their signature blend of vibey, psychedelic indie rock and R&B. In August 2025, White Lucy released their latest album through local label Shuga Records, featuring collaborations with Wyatt Waddell, Semiratruth, and Sen Morimoto. Known for their immersive live sets and community-driven spirit, White Lucy continues to carve out a sound that feels distinctly Chicago—gritty, soulful, and expansive.
