A Tale From Kevin Watry - "Love Letters From Space"

John is a DJ and music producer from Chicago and Panama on a mission to inspire those on the dance floor with a sense of presence and abundance. Allowing you to outsmart your smartphone is his main objective during every performance, blending genres, and layering sounds to create emotion and energy to create a journey for those in attendance. 

“This was such a fun set to play. The sounds you’ll hear are an emotional snapshot of where I am in life and I wanted to pass that feeling on. I was able to truly DJ and express myself in such a unique way to an attentive, fun, and engaged audience at an incredible event. The night that took place before, during, and after this set was one of my favorite nights out in Chicago and I’m still riding high from such a perfect evening.” - John

This was a perfect day. The sun shining and the the breeze blowing with temperature just right at the "no feel" zone. The smiles were endless and hands were effortlessly in the air for what seemed like the entire day! We saw the sunset, we welcomed the moon and adorned the sky with fireworks to celebrate! This was a beautiful day and we are glad to relive all of it here! Enjoy the journey with us.
