B.J. Fisher
B.J. Fisher is a Midwest singer-songwriter known for his dynamic performances, striking voice, and soulful songwriting. Emerging from Wisconsin and now based in Chicagoland, B.J. blends indie-folk sincerity with rock and roll energy, crafting songs that resonate with emotional depth and melodic charm. In 2021, B.J. released his debut single, “Nothing At All,” via Radio Milwaukee. The track earned praise for its honest, buoyant indie-folk sound and was accompanied by an evocative, train-hopping music video.
His 2022 debut album, Night Reminder, further showcased his wide musical range and lyrical depth. Piet Levy of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote: “Through its patience, and Fisher’s songwriting strength, Night Reminder slows your pulse and draws you in.” He followed the album with the Roaming Red EP, a spirited collection of rock and roll love songs born from the same creative sessions.
In 2025, B.J. performed for Chicago’s “Secret River Show,” appeared on FOX 32 with his song “Scovia,” reached finalist status in the Chicago Made Music Showcase, and shared the stage with acclaimed acts including Thompson Springs, Trapper Schoepp, The Well Pennies, Kyran Daniel, and Fantastic Cat.
Full Spectrum
Full Spectrum offers a take on bluegrass that is not music from a distant place and time, but a music of belonging.
Their debut EP Homesick showcases the driving rhythm of classic artists like Earl Scruggs and JD Crowe, as only those who have spent years studying the genre can. Homesick goes further, however, with original songwriting that explores the modern queer, trans, and urban experience. ‘Full Spec’ finds followers in old school bluegrassers, deadheads, country fans, queers who are new to the genre, and everyone who enjoys a high energy, passionate live performance.
Colin ‘CC’ Cosgrove leads the band along with Emily Williams (fiddle), Amelia Mason (banjo, songwriting), Luke Vreeman (guitar) and Bea Riley (bass). Full Spectrum has shared the stage with other acts such as the Henhouse Prowlers, Mitzy Lucerito, Slapdash Bluegrass, and Grassfed Collective.
