On September 13th, Adjacent Cruise will be debuting their album “Light as a Feather, Heavy like the Sun”, and will perform at a special album release at Martyrs’ Chicago on September 20th.
The band is made up of Illinois native Rock Singer-songwriter Shannon Richardson and Hong Kong born-and-raised Classically-trained musician Yuen Yee Richardson. Their different styles merge together perfectly to create a blend of easy-listening music with unique and powerful lyrics.

After three years of collaborating together, the duo is releasing their 20-track debut album, followed by a special one-night-only album release show featuring a rare full-band appearance in collaboration with local musicians including jazz bassist Gordon Walters, rock drummer Brett Grant and classical-jazz saxophonist Amos Gillespie. The full album recorded, mixed and mastered at Handwritten Recording in Chicago.
The performance at the album release show will also feature performances by alternative/indie band, Public Disco Porch, and touring folk band, Ezra Bell, from Portland. All three bands feature similar instrument usage: vocals, guitars, keys, bass, drums, horns.
