CHIRP is thrilled to welcome Anjimile to Schubas on Tuesday, December 12th!

Based in Boston, enigmatic singer/songwriter Anjimile occupies a unique niche where folk, bedroom pop, and indie rock merge with African influences and strong LGBTQ themes. After building up his profile with several highly regarded independent releases during the latter half of the 2010s, he signed with Father/Daughter Records for 2020's Giver Taker.

Anjimile's life changed when a rehab stint in Florida helped him get sober. During this reflective time, he also came to understand that he was transgender and began the transition process. Creatively, he began to thrive and his major life changes played out over releases like 2018's Colors EP and 2019's Maker Mixtape.

His first full-length album, Giver Taker, is a lush and exploratory meditation that funneled his many musical facets into a unique whole.

CHIRP Welcomes: Hollyy

CHIRP is happy to welcomes Hollyy to Lincoln Hall on Friday, December 15th for their third annual Hollyy-days show!

Lauded as “the future of retro rock” (CLASH Mag), Chicago-based Hollyy masterfully imparts a sound both grounded in youth and transcendent of it. Since the band’s inception in March 2020, this group of self-proclaimed “garage-soul boys” has released a collection of breezy singles as well as their debut EP, Miss the Feeling.

Flaunting a signature combination of stirring vocals, jazzy instrumentals, and indie rock stylings, its no surprise that Hollyy has been likened “to such modern soul powerhouses like St. Paul and the Broken Bones” (Atwood Magazine).

Hollyy features the talents of Tanner Bednar (vocals), Brandon Couture (guitar), Peter Giere (keyboard), Rafe Soto (drums), and Dominic Zeier (bass). And as American Songwriter puts it, “even the sharpest nose won’t find anything manufactured about their talent. They’re the real deal.”

CHIRP is thrilled to welcome UK stoner metal band PIGSx7 to Lincoln Hall on Thursday, February 22nd! 

PIGSx7 combine acid rock, psych-metal, and doom and stoner influences into a thick sludge of riffs and menacing bellows. Suggesting a meeting of the minds between Black Sabbath and Hawkwind under the influence of especially nasty hallucinogens, The band generates a burly, hard-hitting sound that makes room for sonic experimentation and gargantuan guitar riffs, though the overwhelming heaviness of their sound is what rules the day.

On their debut album, 2017's Feed the Rats, the group built their music around lengthy performances (two of the set's three tracks run over 15 minutes). By the time they cut 2020's Viscerals and 2023's Land of Sleeper, the songs were more compact, but the aggressive stomp of the band was still as brutal as fans could wish.

On Sunday, March 3rd, CHIRP is excited to welcome singer-songwriter Katy Kirby to Lincoln Hall!

Let’s face it: There’s no such thing as “real life”. There is only experience and the negotiations we undertake in order to share it with other people. On her second album Blue Raspberry, the New York-based songwriter Katy Kirby dives headlong into the artifice of intimacy: the glitter smeared across eyelid creases, the smiles switched on with an electric buzz, the synthetic rose scent all over someone who’s made herself smell nice just for you. An exegesis of Kirby’s first queer relationship, Blue Raspberry traces the crescendo and collapse of new love, savoring each gleaming shard of rock candy and broken glass along the way.

Blue Raspberry follows Kirby’s acclaimed debut album Cool Dry Place, which was also recorded in Nashville and released in February of 2021.

CHIRP is happy to welcome San Fermin to Lincoln Hall on Wednesday, March 27th!

San Fermin is the brainchild of Brooklyn's Ellis Ludwig-Leone, an artist with a broad musical background who pursued musical studies at Yale and sharpened his teeth working with avant-garde classical composer Nico Muhly (Björk, Grizzly Bear, Antony & the Johnsons). Emerging in 2013 with their stylistically diverse eponymous debut, the collective's sound has evolved over the years with electronic pop and experimental rock adding new colors to their distinctive modern chamber pop.

Their new album, Arms, comes out on February 16, 2024.
