The Riverside Theater

Sylvan Esso announce their first new album in four years, and their first to be released on their own, on their own record label. Arriving September 11th via Psychic Hotline, Ow ∞ is a trust fall into our dystopian present, past and future: arms wide open, embracing and absorbing the pain of cities under water or on fire, and piecing oneself back together as a tactile, scotch-taped collage of memories, ephemera, Y2K-era burned CDs and backseat makeouts. Produced by Sylvan Esso’s Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn, Ow ∞ is also the longest the band has ever spent writing a record, yet it arrives with an intense immediacy that is messy, hellish and free, metabolizing a life of making music with people into making art that you just love.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/156681/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

IAN SWEET Shiverstruck Polyvinyl Record Co.
IAN SWEET is the chosen shape Jilian Medford often steps into—and sometimes dissolves inside of. What began 10 years ago as a solo project that launched her to indie-critical-darling status, over time has evolved into something more atmospheric and less containable: a porous altar, a mirror, a weather system. There are stretches when the line between Jilian and “IAN SWEET” disappears entirely—this time around a very real life trifecta of battling industry pressures, the ending of a 3-year relationship, and a return to living in her native city of Los Angeles. These serve as the backdrop under which Shiverstruck, her fifth album as IAN SWEET, has found its way into the world. Shiverstruck arrives from a place of deliberate separation. Where earlier works collapsed the distance between Jilian and IAN SWEET, this record gently reestablishes it. The writing process became an act of surrender and an intentional relinquishing of control. “I was thinking about how easy it is to mistake survival for connection,” Medford explains about Shiverstruck album opener “987.” “Music has pushed me to be more empathetic, to pay attention to emotions and experiences that aren’t always comfortable, and channel that into something that feels authentic.” Rather than meticulously sculpting every emotion, she allowed the songs to assume their own architecture. In doing so, she discovered a new softness—a compassion for herself that doesn’t require total collapse to feel human.
Across her career, Medford has cultivated a body of work defined by emotional precision and dynamic force—guitars that lurch from whisper to rupture, melodies that carry both ache and defiance. Her songs interrogate identity not as a fixed condition, but as something negotiated daily. Often associated with a lineage of confessional indie rock, she has been labeled a “sad girl,” an archetype she once embraced, whether as armor or proof of depth. But her trajectory has never been about sadness itself; it has been about understanding it, metabolizing it, and ultimately refusing to be reduced by it. Shiverstruck was written during her second year living in New York City, a period that shaped her in ways both profound and messy. In 2023, to make ends meet amidst the increasingly unsustainable economies of touring and streaming as an independent musician, Medford put her strengths as a songwriter to the test, taking an unexpected job working with children. "Singing to babies, leading classes, playing guitar, dancing in circles, singing about sheep, frogs, trains, trees...you name it. It was absurd in one register but transformative in another,” Medford expounds "Watching children respond to music for the first time; their faces lighting up completely unselfconscious, it rewires your brain as a songwriter and steers you more towards honesty. Everything felt immediate and real.”
Simultaneously, Medford was confronting the less visible pressures of the industry around her. There were moments that tested not just her career, but her sense of agency as a working musician within it. She saw AI-generated IAN SWEET soundalikes impersonating her music show up as official IAN SWEET releases on streaming platforms and had to fight off confusion among fans. In another instance, Medford ound out that her music was being used by a popular production house for a film trailer, without permission or payment for its licensing. Upon confronting them, she was only then offered compensation if she signed an NDA, agreeing to not mention the situation had ever occurred at all (Medford declined). Although these experiences proved frustrating, they clarified something: Medford would not ascribe to the unspoken expectation for women in music to stay agreeable and absorb the impact quietly. This sentiment lends itself to the album single "Wildheart." “I used to define myself by sadness, and would wear the ‘saddest girl in the room’ superlative like a badge of honor,” Medford explains, “But I’ve let that go. I exist beyond that narrative, even while still feeling deeply. The ‘wild heart’ idea is what keeps me moving through fear, doubt, and the pressure of this industry. I’m just trying to exist beyond my insecurities and beyond what anyone else thinks of me.” That shift shaped Shiverstruck into something that began to feel less like documentation and more like manifestation—intuitive signals pointing toward changes she hadn’t yet consciously named.

Mo's Irish Pub Downtown, Milwaukee

Formed during the isolation of 2020, Houseplant has steadily evolved into a genre-fluid band rooted in Louisville, Kentucky, blending improvisation, indie-rock storytelling, lush psychedelic soundscapes, and groove-driven rhythm. The band’s music lives at the intersection of structure and exploration—balancing emotionally resonant songwriting with an open-ended, collaborative approach to performance.
While the early years saw Houseplant cultivating a grassroots following, 2025 marks a clear turning point in the band’s trajectory. The additions of Ben Atkind (formerly of Goose), Chris “Roadie” Rodahaffer, and the official onboarding of Sam Richardson—who began performing with the band in late 2024—have brought new energy and cohesion to the group’s sound. Built on the creative foundation laid by founding members Tavis Conley and Tommy Arnspiger, these lineup shifts have deepened the band’s improvisational instincts and sharpened their musical identity.
The band’s live show remains the centerpiece of its creative output: dynamic, immersive, and ever-changing. Setlists are structured, but designed to stretch—anchored by thoughtful compositions that allow the music to breathe, shift, and surprise. While improvisation is central to their identity, Houseplant’s focus on lyrical craft and song structure sets them apart within the broader jam landscape.
With a growing slate of live dates and new recordings underway, Houseplant is entering a new chapter—focused, fully formed, and ready to expand their reach on and off stage.Happens on the following Dates: Oct 23, 2026, 11:00pm to Oct 24, 2026, 1:00am Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada) Oct 24, 2026, 11:00pm to Oct 25, 2026, 1:00am Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada)<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/156869/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>
