Upcomming Shows!

Ashe Brothers. Tue, Jan 6

The Ashe Brothers are a set of musical twins who operate sonically with the synchronization of a single musical brain. Their tight vocal harmonies and bombastic instrumental precision makes them a songwriting duo to be reckoned with. You’ll hear sounds reminiscent of The Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and the Everly Brothers, mixed uniquely into an intimate package. You won’t want to miss this!

Currently residing in sunny Southern California, The Ashe Brothers have been sharing their eclectic sound on a professional level for the past decade. Their main inspirations hail from the great writers and performers of the psychedelic 60’s and 70’s, putting a modern spin on an otherwise classic sound. They’ve released an EP entitled “The Machine” and an album entitled “Melancholy Days.” They’re currently working on a second full length album, so keep your ears peeled for some great unreleased music. They can’t wait to return to their home state of Illinois and perform on The Bunker Live!

AJ Rosales, Tue,Jan 20

AJ Rosales is a genre-bending acoustic artist that has been making waves on the Chicago scene with his soulful and progressive take on being a singer-songwriter. His music has been featured on WXRT, Q101, Chicago Independent Radio Stations, WGN Live Broadcasts, and even wafted through the halls of the venerable Abbey Road Studios.

Following up on his lauded 2021 album Manifestations, 2025 saw the release of the stripped-down and live-performance based Phasedrift album. Described as a “Timeless folk journey” (Static Multimedia) and containing "confidence, imagination, and mastery" (Selective Memory Magazine), his emotive songwriting is entirely his own and rich with texture.

The Wild Chicago, Thur, Apr 23

Great driving melodic Rock & Roll from all ends of the spectrum. We write songs from the experiences that we lived through and the stories we want to tell. We will have to change some names to protect the guilty.

This will be The Wild Chicago’s 4th album from experiences in our daily lives that we live to tell about it. Songs of Love to songs of “I can’t believe they lived through that!” Songs from the heart and some that pull on your heart strings. The heroes and the villains are all accounted for.

Polarizer, Thur, TBD

With two official releases and a handful of singles to their name, Chicago alternative act Polarizer sought to make a definitive statement when they embarked on creating their album, “Love From The Underground.”

The 12-track LP, produced by Noam Wallenberg (who helmed their 2013 debut as well), marries the spacey textures and ethereal vocals found in their previous work with muscular grooves and brawny guitar riffs.

The backbone of their evolved sound comes courtesy of drummer/vocalist Johnathan Schiller and bassist Chris Shen, who had been performing live with the group since 2016 but hadn’t yet been featured on a recording. Each contributed original material to the group of songs that would form “Love From The Underground.”

The Nobodies, TBD 2026

The Nobodies (Chicago USA) combine a punk-derived recklessness and garage-rock sensibility with lyrical wit, Western swing, and a bittersweet vulnerability. Their songs will help you forget your troubles and remember your triumphs!

The Nobodies will be releasing their first EP - Even The Score, Vol. 1 - in October 2025.
