ABOUT THE MUSICIANS

Sharon Udoh (they/she) is a gay, first-generation Nigerian-American composer, pianist, arranger, vocalist, and bandleader. Their work abandons genre and is expansive, focusing on human complexity, chaos, and connection. She sometimes takes the stage under the name Counterfeit Madison; their performances have been described as a warm bowl of soup, a tornado, a jalapeño pepper, a Jackson Pollock painting, a bulldozer, dangerous yet kind, and magnetic. She is new to Chicago and has an absurd millennial addiction to sparkling water. Find out more at counterfeitmadison.com.
