Headliner: Michaela Marchi (singer/songwriter)

Michaela Marchi (Isleta Pueblo/Filipina/Italian) began singing and performing at an early age. She graduated from The Chicago Academy of Arts High School in voice performance and went on to study music in college but also wanted to explore her multi-ethnic identity as an artist. Growing up, she was encouraged to appreciate the opera from her father while her mother emphasized the importance of staying connected to her Indigenous roots and a practice of creative endeavor. She has a Master’s in Education, works at the Center for Native American and Indigenous Research at Northwestern University, and is also the first in three generations to survive a stage IV cancer diagnosis. She is passionate about patient advocacy, elevating first voice narratives through dialogue and song, and singing as medicine. Michaela writes her own music, sings, plays piano and percussion, and is currently working on her first album. She is also the mother of Lucia Lopez of The Canopy. 

Opener: The Canopy

The Canopy are a local Skokie/Evanston youth cover band (ages 12-14) that rock out to covers by a range of artists from Beach Bunny to Weezer. The Canopy is Piper Carrier (lead vocals), Lucia Lopez (bass, keys, backup vocals), Alice Gentry (guitar, backup vocals), and Mike Stein (drums). They know each other from school and also from the School of Rock, Evanston. They are high energy and having a blast working together and playing music they love and can’t wait to share it with everyone!
