BITTERSWEET DRIVE
James and Molly met at Columbia College Chicago in 2008. They quickly began to sing and perform together - a vintage blend of strong melody and close harmony fueled their writing. They formed Bittersweet Drive and released their first EP, """Cold Were the Winds"" in 2012. Their second", self-titled EP was released on November 27, 2016.

WALLACE TALLMAN
I’m Wallace Tallman and I’m a human being (he/him) attempting to travel this time-space reality as authentically and vulnerably as possible. Embracing all emotions and compassionate critical thinking. Finding the help in the hurt and the hope in the heart of all things. Translating that experience into song form and giving it back to the world. Creating a cozier place to explore the joy and sorrow life brings, fully. We can make a better world. I'm tired of being told it's not possible. I hope you are too. All of our world’s issues can be traced back simply to a chronic lack of love. We need to demand love everywhere, from our personal lives to our politics. Art needs to be a service for that change. Let’s be the ones who actually make that change. I guess that was still kind of flowery.

MOLLY COLEMAN
Molly Coleman is a Chicago based singer-songwriter who draws much of her inspiration from the music that raised her. Raised on a hearty helping of 70s and 90s folk and alt-rock, and listening to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Jeff Tweedy and Liz Phair. Molly longs to connect with an audience like the Chicago greats she’s admired since childhood. Her effortless vocals and relatable lyrics captivate the audience, but between songs Molly is known for her unfiltered stage banter. 

Each song on her debut album, “The Color of Mustard”, is set in a specific place she wants the audience to feel grounded in when they listen. In her following EP, “Bloody Knees”, Molly brings it back to the basics as she grapples with grief and growth with a soulful, clear sound.
