OUTLETProgramme Presents: STEPHEN HOLLIGER
w/ LUCAS BERNS
$15 door / $10 advance
all ages
7pm doors, 8pm show
https://room40.bandcamp.com/album/fives-and-sixes
STEPHEN HOLLIGER is an Illinois-based composer and sound artist who has been active in the Midwest experimental music community since the mid-2000s. Through his long-running project Swim Ignorant Fire and subsequent solo work, he has been performing throughout the Quad Cities and surrounding region since around 2007.
His current solo work explores guitar, modular synthesis, tape, field recordings, and live processing through slowly shifting textures and long-form tones. His latest album, Fives and Sixes, was released by Room40 in August 2026 and draws on childhood recordings, family voices, guitar, and the final Yahtzee game he played with his grandmother. His live solo set expands these ideas into an evolving, immersive performance.
LUCAS BERNS is a sound collage/ electronic musician, sonic explorer, visual artist, librarian based in the Quad Cities. The performance will include live and recorded sounds layered and woven together.

AK’CHAMEL
akuphone.bandcamp.com/album/spiritually-unemployed
They have been known by many names: The Givers of Illness; The Bandylegged Riders of the Ill-Promised Sun, etc… Honed and expanded through their travels, Ak’chamel’s singular sound comprising desert-scorched psychedelia, post-apocalyptic shamanism, and bizarre ritual folk is as unique as the physical theater of their otherworldly live performances.
DEREK MONYPENY
https://derekmonypeny.bandcamp.com/album/the-oppositional-imagination
Born in the Arizona desert, a veteran of multiple explorations into the Sahara desert via Morocco and Western Sahara, and now a resident of the Mojave, Derek Monypeny sees his musical mission as adding to and expanding on what he calls the "desert continuum;" the psychedelic sirocco swirl of desert-based stringed instruments played with utter abandon by musicians the world over.

7pm doors, 8pm show
https://shiftingparadigmrecords.bandcamp.com/album/twin-talk-live
Saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi, bassist-singer Katie Ernst, and drummer Andrew Green have spent the last fifteen years making music that has grown ever-more elastic, spontaneous, and open, embracing new inspirations without stifling the improvisational heart of their work.
While all three musicians are active members in Chicago’s bustling jazz community, each playing in numerous working bands (Laurenzi tours with singer songwriter Bill Callahan, Ernst is in the touring band for folk artist Iron & Wine, and Green is ubiquitous on the Chicago indie/jazz circuit), they’ve found a true collective voice as Twin Talk. They use live performances as opportunities to stretch—expanding on composed material and ditching set lists in favor of calling tunes on the fly. Their latest album Delights releases November 6, 2026 on Shifting Paradigm Records.
Recent concert highlights include the Chicago Jazz Festival and Big Ears Music Festival, with upcoming performances at the Sound & Gravity Festival (Chicago) and a world premiere of Delights at JazzFest Berlin in November 2026.
