Stephanie Rearick and Andy Ewen are both well-known Madison musicians. For this special show, they will each do separate sets.

Stephanie's music is primarily piano-based although she also does some work with looping machines, trumpets and toy catapillars. Her music spans the spectrum from classical to pop to experimental. Mostly, it is beautiful and nostalgic.
