Gabriel Chapman Desperate to begin a new life as a musician, Gabriel contracted malaria while doing research in Senegal in 2003, was hospitalized and moved to Chicago. During the past two years he has been writing and playing music in the city. His interest in world music has been fueled by albums he's collected while living and traveling abroad. Among his favorites are Manu Chao, Youssou N'dour, Paul Simon, Maná, and Orchestre Baobab. He is the former lead singer of Aya Sofia.

John Pollack has enjoyed making noises for years, and his playing has been strongly influenced by everything from rain storms to construction sites...as well as all kinds of drumming.

Lara Golan started on piano at the age of 3 and later went on to study clarinet, voice and composition. She received a Masters in Music Composition from Northwestern University. Soon after finishing her degree, she delved into singing/ songwriting, which has been the core of her musical activity ever since. She particularly loves to layer vocal harmonies. Influences include Cibo Matto, David Byrne, Philip Glass, Manu Chao, and her brother, David Golan (to name a mere few among an eclectic range of artists and styles).
