@ The Hidedout Inn

Opening Tuesday, June 14th, from 8:30PM - 11PM
NadNavillus
Equal parts guitar and vocal driven, sonically and structurally diverse, NadNavillus is the music of Dan Sullivan.
Two releases in the early 2000s on Jagjaguwar “Show Your Face” (JAG037) and “Iron Night” (051) and a tenure in Jason Molina’s Songs: Ohia put Sullivan on tour throughout the US and Europe. Subsequent years have been spent playing Art-Metal in Arriver, transcribing Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring in the Butchershop Quartet and building the custom fabrication business Navillus Woodworks.
The latest NadNavillus album “Forgotten Portraits” is comprised of 9 songs composed around poems written by incarcerated people and those directly affected by incarceration, sourced from poetry Magazine’s February 2021 issue “The Practice of Freedom”.
For this performance Sullivan will be joined by Madeline Aguilar, Rob Bochnik, and Andy Hall.
Advance Base
Advance Base is the story-song synth-pop project of Chicago, IL singer/songwriter Owen Ashworth (formerly of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone). Using a two-handed arsenal of electric piano, Omnichord, samplers, effect pedals & drum machines, Ashworth builds minimalist, heavy-hearted, & nostalgia-obsessed ballads around his conversational baritone. The warm, electronic sound of Advance Base has been described as “lo-fi,” “depressed” & “weirdly uplifting.”
Dr. Tara Betts is the author of Break the Habit, Arc & Hue, and Refuse to Disappear. In addition to working as an editor, a teaching artist, and a mentor for other writers, she has taught at several universities. She is the Inaugural Poet for the People Practitioner Fellow at University of Chicago, an Artist in Residence at Northwestern University’s English Department, and founder of Whirlwind Learning Center.
