Simeon Peebler is a Folk-spirited singer-songwriter based in Chicago. Since 2011 he has released three albums available on iTunes / Spotify and is working on his next album for release in 2020.

The Illinois Entertainer reviewed his "Missing Anchor" album, saying "With his leftist lyrical bent, crisp acoustic folk, and punchy rock attitude, Simeon Peebler traces a clear lineage to protest music of the 60s."

Often posting songs and demos on SoundCloud, Simeon's music has been streamed thousands of times over the past year, and he actively uses social media technology to reach an even wider audience. His tracks have been featured on the Chicago Mixtape, WLUW 88.7, and he has recorded a podcast with the internationally known Chicago Acoustic Underground.

Simeon has opened for Les Racquet, Autopilot, and Charlie Mosbrook, and has been performing locally at dozens of local and regional venues and festivals. He actively performs at the long-running Chicago Acoustic Explosion shows, participates in area songwriting groups, and regularly attends Folk Alliance International regional conferences.

Simeon first learned how to write songs at the Chicago Old Town School of Folk Music and the community there has been a great foundation for his projects. He has written and performed many songs in relation to current events which include songs about Nelson Mandela, Trayvon Martin, Philip Seymour Hoffman, the Boston Marathon bombing, Chelsea Manning, drone wars, immigration, and poverty. Michael Lohr of the New Renaissance Magazine said, in reviewing Simeon's last album: "Woody Guthrie once said that he was not a songwriter, but a journalist. I think Simeon Peebler has just earned his journalism credentials."

Simeon has performed his music at the following venues and festivals: Chillfest Chicago, Glenwood Avenue Arts Festival, Wicker Park Farmers Market, The Heartland Cafe, Silvie's Lounge, The Elbo Room, Abbey Pub, Act One Pub, Fayette Opera House, Lilly's, Gallery Cabaret, Flat Iron Building, Folk Alliance Midwest Region conference in St. Louis (Performance Lane), Cubby Bear Wrigleyville, Lizard's Liquid Lounge, El's Kitchen, Hidden Shamrock, Grafton Pub, Curtiss Hall (Fine Arts Building in Chicago), Tonic Room, Hungry Brain, Transistor Chicago, Phyllis's Musical Inn, Horseshoe, Cubby Bear, Friendly Tap (Berwyn, IL), Windy City Inn, Fuller's Pub, Mother's Original, The Horseshoe, Paragon Studios, Handwritten Recording, and Uncommon Ground.

River Rising is the collaboration of Chicago singer-songwriters Megan Deiger and Tim Hazen. The duo's first EP When I Find You is available for download on Bandcamp  and iTunes.

"Megan Deiger is a true singer-songwriter with the unique ability to express a broad range of emotion with a consistent powerhouse intensity. Her songs are joyful and spiritual, gentle and contemplative, and often heartbreakingly beautiful. The underlying quality of Deiger’s music (and her performance of it) is an honest appreciation of the life experience—a characteristic that brings the listener into the story to immediately relate to it. In her live performance, Deiger is dynamic, engaging, and utterly charming."
