Adam Cotton is an independent songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer. Born in Connecticut and raised by his single mother, Cotton found inspiring space in music early on, growing up with the sounds of Bill Withers, Culture Club, Springsteen and Bowie on repeat. When his family moved to Florida while in grade school, Cotton was introduced to bluegrass and folk scenes before moving to and studying music in Chicago where his affinity for blues and soul grew. All of these influences pour into Cotton’s sound, blending powerful, soulful vocals over driving, blues-folk guitar work. Cotton has self-produced three EPs and is currently working toward releasing his first full-length record, to be entitled MYSELF, in 2026. He also currently works with other local and regional musicians in his space of hosting a monthly songwriter’s round in his home town of Jacksonville, Florida, while regularly gigging across the Southeast.

Matt Augustine is a Chicago-based performing songwriter blending folk, indie, and country influences into heartfelt, lyric-driven songs about love and loss. His writing is deeply personal yet universally relatable, drawing listeners in with an emotional honesty that feels both raw and familiar. On stage, Matt creates a sense of shared emotion — moments where the songs feel like they belong to everyone in the room.

Elsie Eastman is a singer-songwriter based in Chicago, IL. Originally from the coast of Maine, Elsie brings joy and positivity to audiences everywhere with her playful, goofy vibe and personal, heartfelt lyrics. As a young, queer artist, her songs range from fun pop anthems about becoming an adult and one night stands to finding one’s way in the city, falling in love, and making all kinds of mistakes along the way. ​In the spring of 2020, locked down and living in Boston, Elsie crowdfunded $10,290 from 171 donors to record her debut studio album, “Boston”. Her songwriting has been lauded as being “like a blend of Taylor Swift’s emotional storytelling and a Disney princess movie” by the Suffolk Journal. Taking inspiration from artists such as Taylor Swift, Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles, Amanda Palmer, and Regina Spektor, as well as her background in musical theatre, Elsie’s gorgeous, soaring melodies intertwine with engaging acoustic guitar, piano, and ukulele pieces, making for a truly intimate emotional experience. Her powerful, uplifting songs invite you to set down your load, pull up a chair, and engage in the pure human connection that music can bring.

roseli is a solo artist born and raised in Chicago, IL. Pulling influences from power pop and singer-songwriter genres, she displays a wide range of dance anthems and ballads. Since starting her project, roseli has performed at historic venues, such as the Canopy Club, and the basements of DIY house shows. Whether it';s a full band performance or a stripped acoustic set, roseli captivates audiences with her honest lyrics and lively energy! roseli's debut single “split ends” is out now on all streaming platforms!
