SUMMARY:The Transference Epiphany Center for the Arts - The Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:The Transference is an indie rock/power pop band from Chicago. Dark themes get paired with playful lines and reflections on inter- and inner-connectedness. Because if we’re going down\, we might as well have some fun and love people as best we can. \nInitially started as a handful of demo songs written in the middle of the pandemic after the breakup of a previous band\, The Transference was founded by singer/songwriter/keyboard player Laura Hollingsworth and former bandmates Alex Karan (drums) and MJ Johnson (bass). \nFeaturing evocative lyrics layered over pop rock rhythms\, the band’s pop sound doesn’t lack for complexity or attention to detail. Lush harmonies and melodic lines from lead guitarist Justin Wheeler and vocalist Andrea Santiago weave in and out between synths\, vibraphone\, harmonium\, pedal steel\, and more. Like an easter egg hunt; the band’s playful lyrics and attention to detail make songs worth a second listen. \nPlease note that outside food or beverages are not permitted in the venue.\nThis is a 21+ event. \n\nDate: Thursday\, January 29th\, 2026\nDoors: 5:00PM to Venue | 7:00PM to Sanctuary\nShowtime: 7:30PM\nTickets: Advanced – $20 | Day of Show – $25\n\nBUY TICKETS – https://dice.fm/partner/tickets/event/k6n68l-the-transference-29th-jan-epiphany-center-for-the-arts-the-sanctuary-chicago-tickets
