NAOMI ASHLEY With her cream-and-Kahlua voice, Chicago's Naomi Ashley is a dazzling performer who brings her songs to startling, vibrant life. When she's singing, she disappears into the song. Her pitch-perfect voice has the ability to convey pitch perfect emotional life. The music she makes is intimate, plainspoken and gorgeously sung – drawing on the American folk, blues and country traditions – which surge with all the contradictory impulses of real, imperfect life. FEATURING JON WILLIAMS, the amazing multi-instrumentalist and guitar player/singer of The Mountainaires, Chandalier Swingers, etc. etc.

MMCM Emerging from their mutual roots in Midwestern US, MMCM engages audiences from the heartland to the coasts with honest songs expressed in harmonically-rich layers of voices and strings. They approach music with reverence to moment, regard for the past, and exploration of the future. MMCM released their highly anticipated first collection of songs In Between in July 2020. The songs were borne of hope for the ideal, angst of the actual, and peace found in presence.
