In addition to successful collaborations with Wilco's LeRoy Beach, Cairo Gang's Sam Wagster, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Katinka Kleijn, the singer/songwriter and guitarist was a composer-in-residence for Lake Forest, Illinois' Ragdale Foundation and an Individual Artist Grant recipient by the Illinois Arts Council.
Performing in support of their October 20 release SpiderBeetleBee, the alt-folk guitar duo of Bill MacKay and Ryley Walker will play a November 24 concert at Rozz-Tox, and consequently demonstrate why Paste magazine raved, “Walker and MacKay do nothing less than dazzle with interlocking melodies and modes that can carry your spirit away or stir up long-dormant memories.”ĭescribed by Uncanned Music as “a critical fixture in Chicago's folk/experimental community,” MacKay grew up in Pittsburgh, moved to the Windy City in 1998, and has been recording and releasing albums since 2004. Rozz-Tox, 2108 Third Avenue, Rock Island IL
