Pedway is a musical collaboration between three Chicago-based musicians, Quin Kirchner (drums), Matthew Golombisky (bass), and Caroline Davis (alto saxophone).

Members of the group have collaborated with Tony Malaby, Jeff Parker, Tim Daisy, Dave Rempis, Jeb Bishop, Ted Sirota, Ellis Marsalis, Greg Ward, and Ed Peterson.

Enemy Lines Music Ensemble is a new group of Madison-based musicians interested in exploring the interaction between composition, improvisation and everything else.
