(7:00) Austin and Alex - We have been best friends since we started playing football together at North Central College in Naperville. We found out we could both sing (Austin much better than Alex) and play guitar, and from there on we have been rock stars...at least in our heads. We like to relax, have fun, write songs and play good tunes whether in front of a crowd with our full band or by ourselves. You should ask us how our first official gig went (spoiler alert, it wasn't the greatest).

(7:30) Rita Ruby has been a singer all her life. She began in small rural churches and around the house with family in southcentral Ohio. She has taught music and performed around Chicagoland since 1999 and enjoyed opportunities to share across the United States as well as internationally. Her blend of vintage country and southern gospel songs are delivered with a heartfelt passion that warms the heart and brings a smile. Life stories are always a part of her performances, so get ready to chuckle. Her musical mission is to bring everyone to their own joy of singing.

(8:00) Jason Benefield, a Chicago native, has been writing and performing original country music for fifteen years. He began writing songs in his teens, inspired by the music on which he was raised: outlaw country, southern rock, gospel, and the blues. Since then, Jason has been performing throughout the region, singing songs about love, life, and loss. In addition to his own music, he has been involved in a number of other projects spanning a variety of genres. Jason and his family currently make their home in Westmont, IL.
