ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Elisa Harkins is a Native American (Cherokee/Muscogee) artist and composer based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her work is concerned with translation, language preservation, and Indigenous musicology. Harkins uses the Cherokee and Mvskoke languages, electronic music, sculpture, and the body as her tools. Harkins received a BA from Columbia College, Chicago and an MFA from CALARTS. She has since continued her education at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. She has exhibited her work at Crystal Bridges, documenta 14, The Hammer Museum, The Heard Museum, and MoMA. She created an online Indigenous concert series called 6 Moons, and published a CD of Creek/Seminole Hymns. She is also the DJ of Mvhayv Radio, an Indigenous radio show on 91.1FM in Tulsa, OK and 99.1FM in Indianapolis, IN. Radio III / ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎩ ᏦᎢ is a dance performance that features music and choreography by Harkins. With support from PICA and Western Front, songs from the performance have been collected into a limited edition double-LP which can be found on Harkins’ Bandcamp. Harkins resides on the Muscogee (Creek) Reservation and is an enrolled member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.

Keith Rodger is a Producer, Recording Engineer, and DJ under the alias Kethro. In 2011, he became known for his highly energetic and sonically diverse DJ sets during his five-year residency at House of Loom. In 2014, he started touring as an engineer and musician with The Faint, Tuxedo, Icky Blossoms, and Conny Franko. In 2016, he honed his career when he joined Make Believe Studios working on critically acclaimed albums with Jidenna, Jay Prince, Howie D of Backstreet Boys, Logan Richardson, and Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers. Kethro is slated to release his first solo project through his own MBR imprint in 2021.

High energy duo Glow in the Dark has been making their presence felt since 2016, crafting dark and dancy tunes with catchy vocals, piles of vintage synths, pounding drum machines, and modular synthesizers. Glow in the Dark blends modern synth wave, new wave, 80’s new romantic, pop, and dance/electronica with eccentric live shows, synchronized to warped visuals and interactive cinematics. Glow in the Dark's music can be found in music videos, streaming, and retail sites, and showcased in film shorts and feature-length movies. Glow in the Dark has performed alongside 80’s icon Corey Feldman and 90’s big beat superstars The Crystal Method. In 2019, Glow in the Dark headlined the Omaha Summer Arts Festival followed by receiving an award for Best Experimental/EDM artist at the 2019 Omaha Entertainment Awards. Glow in the Dark draws on the synthetic sound and visual style of producer / filmmaker Aaron Gum paired with Lawrence Deal; a psychotherapist by trade whose lyrics explore human behavior. Find out for yourself why Glow in the Dark has been dubbed "Electro-rock kingpins" by music journalist Lazy-i and "Digital Daredevils" by Omaha Magazine.

With millions of combined YouTube views and over 100,000 active social media followers, ANTOINE has established a worldwide fan base and introduced his own unique style and blend of trap-soul, hip-hop, and traditional sounds. ANTOINE is the founder of “all SZN”, a brand that helps develop young indigenous artists while providing a platform for all indigenous artists to be heard.
