Moriah Bailey // Andrew Sa — live event
Moriah Bailey (fka sun riah) is an Oklahoma-based songwriter who creates intimate and vulnerable sound worlds using primarily harp, voice, and effects pedals. Paste Magazine has described Bailey’s music as showcasing “masterful minimalism,” and Bailey's sound is often compared to Bjork, Agnes Obel, Joanna Newsom, and JFDR. On this tour, she will be joined by a phenomenal ensemble of musicians (violin, drums, and bass). Her songs are delicate and defiant, tender and strong, and they provide space to dwell on and sit with emotions. Andrew Sa has earned the title of Chicago’s premier queer country crooner. Originally from the Bay Area, Sa started his Midwest story hosting and curating a monthly acoustic singer-songwriter night at Wang’s Bar called Second Date with his good friend and collaborator Dylan Matracia (Matracia). He went on to host and star in the regular camp cult classic Cosmic Country Showcase, wowing audiences and peers with his emotional giant voice. In 2021 he released an EP of covers he’s performed at the showcase including crowd favorites “Wicked Game” and “Love Hurts” (duet with local legend Sima Cunningham of Finom), then releasing in 2023 a couple of original singles, “Dark Phoenix” being a tragic story of the love and untimely death of his first boyfriend, and “Little Lamb” stating his claim within the honky tonk scenes, historically dominated by straight men. He’s currently finishing his debut album, coproduced and cowritten with Durham, North Carolina’s own H.C. McEntire. Ava Brennen and Garrett Frank are a Chicago based singer-songwriter duo with a curiosity for musical depth and whimsy. On guitar they articulate colorful chords and interlocking melodies that create an interplay of resonance and dissonance. Their poetic lyrics, vocal warmth and expressive clarity conjure performances that feel dreamy, vibrant, and vulnerable. With the help of percussionist Fiona Palensky and cellist Maeve Masterson, their ensemble fosters an ecstatic, roving orchestral folk-rock experience.
