I’m thrilled that singer/songwriter Stephen Kohler will join us at our one-time-only live event in Evanston, IL. He’ll share songs from his new album, Daydream, and I’ll be joined by some amazingly talented musicians to play John Milton’s Paradise Lost as a set of catchy songs.

Here’s a small taste of what we’ll perform at SPACE in Evanston, IL on Tuesday, February 28th. John Milton’s words. Jam band music. Come join us for the experiment!
John Milton wrote (well, dictated) a poem over 350 years ago. It’s packed with big ideas and human emotion. It’s also a 60,000+ word challenge. I distilled each book of the poem into a 3-minute rock song. His words, only recast in hopes of making them more accessible.
Earlier this year, I composed and recorded an album based on John Milton’s Paradise Lost. My goal was to “unlock” simple and impactful ideas and images from the 10,000+ lines of poetry and share them in 3-minute rock songs.
I borrowed the text verbatim. The music is my own.
