MJ Walker is writer of hauntingly beautiful songs drawing from old
American Roots traditions of bluegrass and blues and mixing them with
contemporary folk. She has been playing in town for years solo and
with various other musicians and lately she plays with her rhythm
section, Fictive Kin. Fictive Kin brings awesome spine-tingling
harmonies, mandolin, bass guitar, and percussion to the mix. The band
has a very loose and laid back approach to their sound that makes it
the perfect porch music. When you listen to Fictive Kin's songs you
feel like you are part of a generations old musical family. This is
really unique stuff and CU is so lucky to have MJ Walker's tremendous
talent right in our backyard.

Other acoustic performers TBA. 

This show is all ages and non-smoking. 

Admission will be on a sliding scale and, space permitting, no one is
turned away for inability to pay.

All procedes benefit the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center and
the artists.
