Cross Modulations Series: Macie Stewart & Acevedo/Clark/Fawcett Trio

Our next Cross Modulations presentation will feature the ultra talented multi-instrumentalist, Macie Stewart playing a solo set. She will be joined on this bill by a new trio featuring Chad Clark on guitar, Ausberto Acevedo on string bass, and Jacob Little Cloud Fawcett on drums and percussion. Not to be missed. See below for bios.

Macie Stewart is a multi-instrumentalist, composer/arranger, songwriter, and improviser based in Chicago, IL
Stewart primarily works with piano, violin, voice, guitar, and synthesizers. From a very young age Macie was drawn towards music and sound; learning to communicate with music while simultaneously learning to communicate with words. Stewart’s experience as an open collaborator and composer in her own right has led her music to become fluid and expansive- drawing on all that has come before while intentionally searching for something new. “Mouth Full of Glass” was her debut solo project: released fall of 2021 in the US and as an international release in fall of 2022.

Ausberto Acevedo is a bassist, composer, improviser, and teacher based in Evanston, IL.

Chad M. Clark is a Chicago based artist and musician known for his idiosyncratic approach to steel string and electric guitar. His aesthetic is one of improvisation as a life force rather than an element or feature.

Jacob Little Cloud Fawcett (Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Ojibwe) is a Chicago based improvisational drummer/composer who blends aspects of jazz and traditional Native American music in order to create original compositions that accurately reflect Indigenous culture and experience. Former teachers include the great Frank Rosaly and legendary poly-rhythm guru Peter Magadini.
