20 years before the emergence of STS9, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on a mission to the farthest reaches of the solar system and beyond. Each of these probes was equipped with identical Golden Records, special messages attached to what Carl Sagan called “a bottle launched into the cosmic ocean.” They contained numerous images and sounds from throughout the world, pieces of music from various cultures, a map identifying the location of our planet, and other information for whomever, or whatever, might find them.

While the Golden Records included greetings in 59 languages, they made no mention of nations and borders, wars and rivalries, or anything else that divides us. What they did mention was life, love, peace, birth--the things that bind us to one another and to the planet we call home. 

The Universe Inside is a reflection of this message. It is a story about human identity and the magical truth of who we are, where we’re going, and our place in the Universe. It says we are one, made of stardust and the forces of nature that evolved over billions of years. Connected by the sun, moon and stars, we are the living, breathing conscience of the Universe. 

"We are one, made from dust of the stars / down here we bear the weight of the pain and the scars / just want to live with nothing to hide / every one of us a universe inside."

Old Shoe is a five-piece Americana Roots Rock band based out of Chicago, Illinois. Made up of talented songwriters from across the country, hailing from as far away as Alaska, the band's compositions paint a diverse landscape of American life. 

The long awaited follow up to the band’s 2013 album, Family, is finally here. Country Home is an all-original 13-track release, which finds Old Shoe in search of their ‘Country Home’. Written over the course of the last couple years with a good portion of the tunes being written in Oneida County, Wisconsin at a country home. Recorded at the same studio as Family, I.V. Labs Studio in Chicago. Engineered, mixed and co-produced by Chris Harden.

They have also continued to round out the Midwest festival circuit at high-profile events like Summer Camp, Wakarusa, Phases of the Moon, and Harvest Fest, opened for Grammy-award winning Bruce Hornsby, The Wailers, Leftover Salmon, Keller Williams, Greensky Bluegrass and even produced 8 consecutive installments of their own festival, Shoe Fest. 

2013's 'Family' went on to be 93.1FM WXRT Best of Album - Local Anesthetic

Dewpoint(formerly Treehouse Live) is an eclectic four-piece instrumental jam band from Boston, Massachusetts.  Formed in early 2014 as house party staples in Boston, they have quickly secured fans and made a name for themselves in the competitive northeast jam band scene.  Pulling inspiration from such diverse acts as Phish, Steely Dan, Vulfpeck, Lotus, and countless others across the musical spectrum, they have crafted a sound grounded in improvisational experimentation and soaring melodic lead lines.  In the past year, Dewpoint's danceable combo of genre-bending jams have soared to new heights, playing shows at the Middle East Downstairs, Sonia, and Brighton Music Hall.  Guitarist Hamilton Kibbe, keyboardist Alex Moran, bassist Dalton Markrush, & drummer Ryan Slobin have crafted melodic, high-energy sets and are ready to take on the Northeast this Fall.
