Wurk is a 6-piece funk-fusion group which formed in Madison, WI in 2016. Inspired by Umphrey’s McGee, Snarky Puppy, Lettuce, Phish and many others, their innovative original songs and ambitious interpretations of popular covers offer an impressive blend of jazz fusion, prog rock, jam rock and more, all with the consistent underlying grooves of funk. Wurk has opened for acts including The Motet and Andy Frasco & the U.N. and helped pack venues across Wisconsin. Described by Isthmus Magazine as “summer-jam-perfect” and two-time recipient of the Madison Area Music Association (MAMA) Artist of the Year Award (2019, 2022), Wurk fills the gap between complexity and groove, impressing fans and keeping them dancing all night.

M Shays is atmospheric indie-pop based in Madison, WI and formed by singer/songwriter/producer Meggie Shays Gilfillan. Meggie's expansive voice enchants while her spectacular piano skills dazzle. Initially a solo act, M Shays is now a full band ordeal! She's moved from moody indie-folk into more uplifting indie-rock/art-pop territory akin to AURORA, Kate Bush and Regina Spektor. Her vocals still sit front and center as they captivate and charm...You haven't heard a voice quite like this before. The new singles "Middle of Nowhere" and "Bleed" show the expanded palette while keeping true to her calculated piano-based compositions.
