Guitar explorer Nels Cline is best known these days as the lead guitarist in the band Wilco. His recording and performing career — spanning jazz, rock, punk and experimental — is well into its fourth decade, with over 200 recordings, including at least 30 for which he is leader. After more than two decades of performing and recording his own music along with that of many other improvisers and songwriters, joining Wilco in 2004 brought him to the attention of a wider audience. Beyond Wilco, Cline has, in the last few years, performed and recorded in a duo project with guitarist Julian Lage as well as in his quartet The Nels Cline 4 (featuring Lage plus bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Tom Rainey). Other collaborators include Mike Watt, Thurston Moore, Elliott Sharp, Tim Berne, Jim Black, Larry Ochs, Phil Lesh, and Medeski, Martin & Wood, among many others. Nels currently collaborates with his partner Yuka Honda as the duo CUP, performs as Stretch Woven with percussionist Scott Amendola, and has led The Nels Cline Singers for 23 years (currently featuring an expanded lineup with Amendola plus bassist Trevor Dunn, percussionist Cyro Baptista, keyboardist Brian Marsella & saxophonist Skerik). Cline also periodically presents concerts of his concept album Lovers, which involves a 17-person ensemble.

Chris Corsano is a New York-based drummer who has been active at the intersections of collective improvisation, free jazz, avant-rock, and experimental music since the late 1990's. He's been the rim-batterer of choice for some of the greatest contemporary purveyors of "jazz" (Joe McPhee, Paul Flaherty, Mette Rasmussen, Zoh Amba) and "rock" (Sir Richard Bishop, Bill Orcutt, Jim O'Rourke), as well as artists beyond categorization (Björk for her Volta album and world tour, Michael Flower, Okkyung Lee). His dedication to collective improvisation has led to Corsano to join forces with many kindred spirits and his appearance on over 180 records and thousands of live performances. "One of the world's great drummers." – The Guardian

Darin Gray is known as a solo artist, tireless collaborator, session bassist, improviser, composer, educator, Jim O’Rourke’s go-to bassist for over 25 years, as half of the long standing duo On Fillmore (with Glenn Kotche of Wilco), as the touring bassist for TWEEDY (2014-2019), as a member of Akira Sakata & Chikamorachi, and as the bassist for Grand Ulena, Dazzling Killmen, You Fantastic!, and Brise-Glace. Darin’s discography includes over 150 releases. He has composed for film, theater, dance, radio, and podcasts, and toured extensively in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Brazil, Canada, Russia, and Europe.

Its Glenn Kotche’s ability to thrive in different and seemingly disparate worlds—that really makes him stand out as a drummer, percussionist and composer. Since 2001, Kotche has been the rhythmic anchor in the rock band Wilco, garnering a Grammy award and 7 Grammy nominations. He as appeared on over 150 recordings by artists as diverse as Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Jim O’Rourke, First Aid Kit, Neil Finn, John Luther Adams, Iron and Wine, Radiohead’s Phil Selway & Ed O’Brien, Missy Mazzoli, Andrew Bird and KD Lang, Neko Case & Laura Viers. He’s been collaborating for decades with Darin Gray in the genre-bending duo, On Fillmore. Besides his 4 solo albums, he has also written music for classical and post-classical ensembles like Kronos Quartet, Silk Road Ensemble, Bang on a Can All-Stars, Third Coast Percussion, So Percussion, Chicago Youth Symphony, eighth blackbird, Roomful of Teeth and many more.
