12pm CT/1pm ET – Wyatt WadellMixing R&B, pop and funk, Chicago native Wyatt Wadell wrote his powerful protest song “Fight” within 24 hours of George Floyd’s murder. His latest single “You,” is “a heartbreak song about stopping your life for someone else,” he says. “It’s about the stupidity of infatuation and the angst for something you’ve never had.”

2pm CT/3pm ET – MichiganderOut of Kalamazoo, Mich., Jason Singer fronts the atmospheric and anthemic indie-rock project Michigander, playing this year’s Lollapalooza on the heels of his third EP, Everything Will Be Ok Eventually.

5pm CT/6pm ET – SontaR&B singer/songwriter Sonta has racked up millions of streams on SoundCloud and other streaming services. The Chicago rising star calls her brand of music R&D—”rhythm and drill,” with slow, heavy beats laying the ground for her powerful, soulful voice.
