About this Event

Alan Zreczny’s songs are narrative poems set to spirited melodies, which he performs on the guitar and piano, solo and with his band bluefront. Over the years Zreczny has created an imaginative and truly original body of work with lyrics that often put a new twist on age-old sayings giving them a fresh, surprising new meaning. Melding the vintage sound of Television, The Modern Lovers and early Talking Heads with the current but equally timeless approach of The War On Drugs, the Chicago outfit celebrate the sound of classic guitar-driven rock. bluefront is Alan Zreczny, Keith Herc and Scott Paeth.

Matthew Morgan is a indie/alternative/folk troubadour of the most anachronistic sort, who pulls from Nick Drake as much as Neil Young. His baritone voice floats above delicate arrangements, but its warm, soulful character gives the feeling of great depth. A storyteller whose songs feel less like stories than paintings. A multi-instrumentalist, he crafts his songs playing the guitar, piano, organ, harmonica, and a variety of other stringed instruments. Matthew's previous full-length album, “Timepiece” was released independently in October of 2023 receiving very positive reviews and charting at #24 in the FAI Folk Radio charts. Written and recorded in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the album stands as an honest and heartfelt testament to the highs and lows of living through one of the most challenging and significant periods in modern history. An openly queer artist, Matthew understands the importance of writing songs that allow everyone to be seen, especially giving a voice to the outliers and members of marginalized communities. Currently, he resides in Columbus, OH with his husband, Russell Goodwin Jr.
