Cesar Rosas is a founding member of the iconic band, Los Lobos. Founded in 1973, the six-time Grammy winning band has spanned generations with traditional flavored music to mind altering sounds and garnered a reputation as being one of the best damn bands in America. Their latest release, Native Sons, won the Grammy for Best Americana Album in 2022. Cesar's original blues rock songs as well as his original Cumbia flavored music have helped make Los Lobos what it is. Joining Cesar will be The Chi-Town Playboys featuring Chicago's own Dave Herrero, Scott Tipping, Ari Seder, Dan Ingenthron and Gerald Dowd.
Acclaimed guitarists Charlie Hunter and Ella Feingold perform from their new duo album, Different Strokes for Different Folks. This exploratory duo project is a deep dive into the art of musical conversation. Built on a foundation of rhythm, space, and groove, Hunter and Feingold engage in a fluid, improvisational exchange, pushing beyond conventional structures to create something raw, immediate, and deeply immersive. Their interplay unfolds like a dialogue - organic, unpredictable, and rich with nuance - where silence holds as much weight as sound.
