Maximiano Janairo, a Milwaukee-based singer-songwriter, has carved out a unique niche in the music scene with their soulful blend of heritage, identity, and raw human experience. Their debut album, “The Real Truth,” explores themes of growth and change, with songs that shimmer, echo, and glide through tales of memory and identity. The album features a variety of sounds, including piano, pedal steel, flute, and clarinet, and is supported by an all-star band of Milwaukee musicians. Maximiano’s music is described as lush, courageous, and ambitious, with a sound that captures the beauty of newfound wisdom. They are known for their willingness to write songs out of necessity, providing companionship for feelings that are too difficult or embarrassing to express. Maximiano’s artistic journey has been shaped by their parents and their deep connection to their family’s ancestry, and they embrace their identity as a mixed-race, non-binary, queer artist.
Lucy London is a singer and touring musician from Petaluma, California, currently based in New Orleans. A folk singer and storyteller at heart, Lucy draws technique from opera training, yodeling, throat singing and beatboxing to give her performances a unique and absurd edge.
She graduated from Northwestern University with a B.A. in Performance Studies from the School of Communication, and while there also studied classical voice and opera at the Bienen School of Music.
Lucy has studied and performed music with international folk ensembles in Delhi, India and Greensboro, North Carolina. She co-composed the Fox and Beggar Theatre Company’s 2025 touring production, Tigre, Tigre!, in which she sang the voice of the principal character, Z. In 2025, Lucy wrote and toured an hour-long musical solo performance, Grasping at Straws, a reflection on her changing relationship to activism amidst the Great Turning.
She released two records in 2025—”Pinto Pals: Yodeling Songbirds”, an album with her yodeling duo, The Pinto Pals, as well as “Sweetheart, I’m Here”, an EP of original music with collaborators Jackie Rae Daniels and Mikey Marget.
Lucy’s work centers around themes of animacy and connection with the more-than-human world. Through her songs, she channels many perspectives distinct from her own, including those of humans and non-humans alike.
