Veterans of the Chicago punk music scene, these musicians seamlessly cross genres. To see the Siderunners live is a lesson in grit, determination, and above all stamina. With a healthy respect for tradition, this unconventional lineup remembers what was best about music, and the kind of music that has endured over the years.

“Couch crafted folk songs brought to rock life via the barks, noodlings, jangles, clatter, and thump of the dankest Chicago southside basement. Cater to the song! Turn up the plaid! weepers to screamers it’s the Grand Slack!”

Iris Marlowe is an alternative-country songwriter that uses her love of classic country music to create cinematic songs that paint a southern gothic landscape. Her latest album ‘Where the Devil Bid the Owl Goodbye’ features songs driven by revenge, terror, and a yearning for the danger of the old west. Iris creates country music for the eccentrics and folks that are looking for something a little different in the country music landscape.

Iris is currently working on her fourth album which will be released in 2025. The record will be heavily inspired by her love of horror movies and classic country music.
