Elizabeth Doyle
Elizabeth Doyle is an accomplished singer-pianist-composer-writer-music director. She has appeared as a featured guest on the late Marian McPartland’s NPR program Piano Jazz and as a popular draw at Chicago’s famed Pump Room.
Doyle has performed on the BBC and Dutch radio, South Dakota Public Radio, NPR and Chicago’s PBS station, WTTW.
As a composer, Doyle’s musicals have been seen in California and across the Midwest. Her compositions span the range of liturgical and chamber works, to art songs and cabaret material.
She has performed as a popular headliner at the Cole Porter Festival alongside David Edelfelt and a variety of other talent - and has helped to expand the scope of the Festival by teaching “Elizabeth Doyle’s Songwriting Workshop,” guiding aspiring artists of all ages through the process of songwriting.
As a singer, declares the Chicago Tribune, David Edelfelt is “a consummate song interpreter... blessed with a luxuriant instrument... [and] probably sounds great singing the weather forecast” - “one of Chicago’s best”.
His one-man shows have been called “superlative from start to finish, hilarious, deliciously engaging and simply brilliant.”
Over his career, he has sung everything from Mozart to Kander & Ebb across the country and abroad. David's recent performances have found him on stage at Chicago's famous Park West, Davenport’s, Drury Lane Water Tower, Maxim’s, Village Players PAC, Victory Gardens Biograph Theater and Preston Bradley Hall. His first full-length solo recording, Love is Born at Christmas, was praised nationally, and his latest album entitled better has also been critically acclaimed and is now available.

Warren & Flick
Warren & Flick crafts a sound both invitingly full and authentically transparent; captivating listeners through original material that balances familiarity with an exploratory spirit. Jacob Warren plays double bass, and Grant Flick plays violin, tenor guitar and nyckelharpa.
The two met at the 2015 Acoustic Music Seminar (AMS), a program for young string players from around the world to collaborate and hone their improvisation, composition and performance abilities. A part of the Savannah Music Festival in Georgia, AMS is led by multi-instrumentalist Mike Marshall.
Their music is a reflection of their friendship and wide musical interests. Jacob and Grant spend much of their time arranging, composing and performing together primarily developing original works. The duo documented their sound with their first album “Kestrel,” released in 2019, and their second album “Waxwing” released in May 2022.
Their latest album shows an evolution in both their individual playing and ensemble with a great variety of stylistic foundation and a gentle curiosity for moving between and away from conventional idioms. With Jacob’s classical foundation and Grant’s experience in bluegrass and jazz, their contrasting backgrounds give this collaboration a unique and compelling musical narrative.
