Julia Minkin * Seasaw * Jane Hobson

Best known for co-writing viral hit songs with French electropop sensation Kid Francescoli, Chicago-based singer-songwriter Julia Minkin steps into her own with her debut album Not Ready, co-created and produced with her husband Andrew Sudhibhasilp. Blending warm, folk-tinged vocals with dance-floor energy and introspection, Minkin “finds her own creative voice, shimmering, rhythmic, and heartfelt—both bold and refreshingly sincere” (Thoughts Words Actions).

Seasaw, a duo based in Madison, WI, is Meg Golz (drums, synth, vocals) and Eve Wilczewski (guitar, vocals). Seasaw’s music is the product of two best friends continually exploring all of the ways they can construct a singular, sarcastic indie rock sound.The band is currently releasing their first new songs since their 2023 album, Projecting. They have performed alongside Chvrches, Thao, Shakey Graves, NNAMDÏ, Overcoats, Horsegirl, Lucius, Nada Surf, and many others. 

Jane Hobson is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter originally from Madison, Wisconsin. Performing alongside a full rock band—featuring Chicago musicians Liam Hellard, Ani Aguilera, and Justin Picard—her sound is heavily influenced by artists like The Cranberries, Snail Mail, and Big Thief. Balancing softness and bite, the Jane Hobson band delivers intimate, “sad-girl” songwriting backed by the driving energy of a rock band.
