DOORS AT 8:30 | CONCERT AT 9:00

Formed in 2015 in Chicago's DIY scene, their first two releases came through underground label Grandpa Bay (Water From Your Eyes, Mykele Deville, This Is Lorelei). Their subsequent 2016 EP “Imaginary Friends” weaved in more experimental elements while showcasing the addition of more complex instrumentation. Over the next two years, the project slowly grew to over ten collaborators, culminating in their second full-length “Wonder Under” released via Midwest Action in 2018. The record was featured on multiple online publications, local magazines and radio outlets.
Behind the production of founding member Mabel Gladly, their new sound fuses art rock, new wave, experimental jazz, krautrock, disco, funk and soul, thus creating their original blend of psychedelic orchestral synth pop. While joined by many collaborators on their studio projects, Glad Rags keeps their live shows raw with high-energy interpretations of their songs featuring the five core members.

The band is excited to welcome back cellist and UM Alum Kelsee Vandervall who is returning from a nine month touring stint with Moulin Rouge off Broadway. She has also recently performed with Lizzo, J Cole, and Michael Buble.​
