Goodbye concert with Liam Taylor, Journey Tupper, Piya and special guests

Come visit for a combination of relaxing jazz, indie rock, and soulful R&B.

LIAM TAYLOR:
R&B/Pop singer-songwriter Liam Taylor was raised in Dallas, Texas, and is currently based in Chicago. He began writing songs in high school, and worked with many artists including Terence Hobdy and Erykah Badu. When he moved to Chicago, he got involved in the DIY music scene and garnered quite a following before even releasing any music. He has worked with artists like Woody Goss of Vulfpeck, Kendrick Scott, and Jonathon McReynolds. In 2022, he released his first three singles, getting 7K+ streams across all platforms, and is expected to release his debut EP in February 2023. He has performed on many stages in Chicago, including Subterranean, Double Door, and most recently, at the Lollapalooza 2022 Bonus Tracks Stage, hosted by Fusion of Light Entertainment. In September, he moved to Mannheim for a semester exchange at the renowned Popakademie Baden-Württemberg. He is closing out the semester before moving back to Chicago, and will be dropping his debut EP in three weeks.

JOURNEY TUPPER
If you are a fan of rollercoasters, I suggest hopping on the Journey Tupper bandwagon. Journey is a singer/songwriter that has embarked on many adventures in her short 21 years of life. At age 6, Journey began her music career performing in professional Musical Theatre productions in her hometown of Kansas City. Her highschool years were formidable, studying in Southern California at Orange County School of the Arts while simultaneously starting her songwriting career. Columbia College Chicago watered her growth as a musician and now she is currently studying at PopAkademie in Germany. Throughout her Journey, she has developed a unique perspective on life which seemingly transfers to her music. She has begun her new indie rock project with her 6 piece band in Germany and will release an EP before arriving back in the USA. Once she returns, you can expect a plethora of new music and consistent shows. Journey is working hard with her team in Los Angeles, CA and London, UK to bring you music and feelings you’ve never experienced before.
Alas, Don’t. Stop. Believing.

PIYA:
Schon Ende 2021 wurde von der RNZ-Redaktion festgestellt, dass piya in der Lage sei, Chopin, Norah Jones und Lina Maly zu vereinen.
Auf der Bühne zieht sie das Publikum mit ihrer ruhigen und etwas mystischen Art in den Bann. Sie überrascht dabei mit virtuosen Arpeggien und mit musikalischen Experimenten, wie das parallele Spiel von Klavier und Mundharmonika.
Das breite Spektrum ihrer tiefen Jazzstimme zum zerbrechlichen Sprechgesang sorgt im Publikum für Stille und Gänsehautmomente. Auch ihre lyrischen Texte geben Anlass fürs Innehalten, man könnte es als akustische Poesie betiteln. Man tut sich schwer, ihre mutige und besondere Musik einem Genre zuzuordnen. Vielleicht ist sie irgendwo zwischen deutschen Liedermachern und Chanson, gewürzt mit einer Prise Jazz, zu Hause.
Piya steht erst am Anfang ihrer musikalischen Schaffensperiode. Sie arbeitet an ihrer ersten EP und spielt so oft es geht viele Live-Auftritte, sowohl Solo am Klavier, im Duo, im Trio, als auch mit ganzer Band, die sie selbst arrangiert. Es bleibt spannend, in welche Richtung sich die junge Musikerin bewegt und festigt. Eines ist dennoch sicher: von piya werden wir noch viel hören!
