About the artists:

Rich Klevgard

The band had been performing ever since the release of their debut album, Almost Heard the Ocean in 2015. The sound is Americana, it’s folk, it’s country, it’s rock, it is wholeheartedly original. These Peaches tells the story of love lost and love found and the journey between and beyond. Primarily the vision of Rich Klevgard, this band has a poetic and melodic sense that balances perfectly. This evening of music is The singer’s presentation of his songs with just his guitar and his voice. Their newest song is in video form: https://youtu.be/7krzbB_hdWo

Jory Avner

Chicago-based singer-songwriter Jory Avner has been writing and performing music for over ten years, released three albums and headlined shows all across the United States and Canada. His music blends highly stylized lyricism and guitar with synth/rock soundscapes, creating an atmosphere that is deeply textured, thought-provoking, introspective, and yet succinct in terms of narratives.

“By far the words are what I focus on the most when it comes to writing or listening to a song… I guess I hope people walk away from my songs with their mind sort of activated, and in the best case scenario maybe feel a little moved. I always love when songs do that for me.”
~Jory Avner, Voyage Chicago Magazine
