Eli Winter is a composer, self-taught guitarist, essayist, and Houston native. His music synthesizes aspects of folk, rock, jazz, and devotional music, maintaining a waggish disregard for genre constraints emblematic of Chicago, his adopted hometown. His new album, A Trick of the Light, is an elegantly crafted and vibrant collection that finds the bandleader at the height of his powers: the dazzlingly intense arrangement of Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell’s “Arabian Nightingale” that opens the album, Winter’s muscular, dreamy originals, and his daring arrangement of Carla Bley’s “Ida Lupino.” His trio features Chicago improvisers Sam Wagster of Fruit Bats (pedal steel guitar) and Tyler Damon of Circuit des Yeux (drums), with performances at prestigious music festivals like Primavera Sound and Big Ears, and collaborations with a wide range of artists live and on record, including Yasmin Williams, jaimie branch, Caroline Rose and Ryley Walker. His concert history spans prestigious music festivals like Primavera Sound and Big Ears, pristine listening rooms, museums, university chapels, laundromat bars, and small rooms in shotgun houses.

Co-founded by Elsa Saade (musician/puppeteer) and Tracy Chahwan (cartoonist/illustrator), This Time's Quartet is a visionary carousel quartet that brings together four dynamic artists in an immersive, multi-sensory experience where poetry, music, live illustration and puppetry converge. This time, for our Mini East Coast tour, the quartet will feature: Erik Ruin (shadow puppeteer and paper-cut artist),  Huda Asfour (oud and voice), Elsa Saade and Tracy Chahwan. 

Kajwan Ziaoddini started performing Santour in 1998. He earned his master’s degree in Iranian classical music at the University of Tehran. As a musician, he has collaborated with several Iranian ensembles such as Eghbal, Ravian, and Hamnavazan, and has contributed to five albums: From the Saba’s Rose Garden, Hashtrud, Delkesh, Goshayesh, and Nowbang. Kajwan is a faculty of the music department at the University of Kurdistan, Iran, and currently is a PhD student in ethnomusicology at the University of Maryland.
