The Front Desk is a five-piece band that has been bringing a fusion of funk, soul, rock, and jazz to Chicago since 2022. The New York Times has described our sound as “like if Led Zeppelin and James Brown had a baby that was raised by Amy Winehouse and Anderson .Paak” in a well-received article that has unfortunately been lost forever due to an incident with the Dave Matthews Band. Check out upcoming shows, demos, photos, and more at www.thefrontdesk.band. Our members include Ben Alston, Brandon Jaimes, Teddy Knox, Jivan Nallamothu, Grace Tepper, and occasionally Zorba.

Paige and the Kizers are a live band product of the original music written by the band’s creator and lead singer Paige Kizer. The group embraces authenticity and human connection through live performance. Paige and the Kizers have played several Chicago live venues such as Reggies, Cubby Bear, Montrose Saloon, Gallery Cabaret and Epiphany. Every member brings a spark of creativity and bright spirit to every show.
