Thomas Comerford (w/band):
After moving to Chicago 1999, Thomas Comerford founded and led the indie rock outfit Kaspar Hauser over a series of lineups and LP releases in the 2000s. By 2010, he also was playing with a number of backing musicians and releasing LPs under his own name, including Archive + Spiral in 2011, II in 2014, Blood Moon in 2018 and Introverts in 2021 as well as some singles, including a 2023 7” record with the band Mar Caribe. The music, songs and singing on these LPs have been compared to the likes of Jeff Tweedy and Tom Waits (USA Today) and Lou Reed and the Go Betweens (Chicago Reader). Recently, Comerford started Another VU, a Velvet Underground tribute group, who play songs from the bands 1969 era, as well as a rock n roll band called Glimmerwire. Currently, he is mixing a 4 song Thomas Comerford EP recorded with his live band that will see release in 2025. https://thomascomerford.bandcamp.com/
Nad Navillus:
Equal parts guitar and vocal driven, sonically and structurally diverse, NadNavillus is the music of Dan Sullivan. A Chicago resident since the late 90s, Sullivan has recorded with Glen Hansard and Jason Molina, including on the latter’s seminal "Magnolia Electric Company", as well as releasing 4 full-length LPs with long-running Art-Metal ensemble Arriver.
Released in 2023, the latest NadNavillus album, "Forgotten Portraits" pairs Sullivan’s compositions with words sourced from Poetry Magazine’s February 2021 issue “The Practice of Freedom”, featuring poems by incarcerated people or those directly affected by incarceration. Anchored by Sullivan’s honest singing voice and impressive open-tuning electric fingerstyle guitar playing, the arrangements range from intimate to lush, with influences of African blues, outre-jazz and Americana meeting under the umbrella of Indie-folk.
Two previous albums on Jagjaguwar, “Show Your Face” and “Iron Night” found receptive audiences in Europe, a new LP of instrumental material is ready for release in early 2025. https://nadnavillus.bandcamp.com
