Maple Street Chapel, 200 S Main St, Lombard, IL, 60148

Chicago-area folk/indie singer-songwriters Gia Dagenhart and Heather Styka will co-headline on Saturday, September 26 at 7:00pm at the historic Maple Street Chapel, 200 S Main Street in Lombard, IL. Tickets are $20.
Gia Dagenhart of Lombard, a Glenbard East alum and recent graduate of Lawrence University (Appleton, Wisconsin), is a brilliant, young performer with dynamic vocals. Gia released her first recording titled “Artifact” in October of 2025; it showcases prismatic snapshots, lush poetry, and cultivated sophistication. At live performances, Dagenhart's easy confidence, warmth, and wit engage audiences and leave them buzzing.
Heather Styka of Chicago, an established touring artist and award-winning songwriter, delivers performances that are as intimate and candid as a late-night conversation, peppered with humor, confession, and a disarming honesty. Styka's songs are lyrics-forward and “make you feel as if you are peeking into her diary” (No Depression) with a “talent for telling stories and connecting emotionally” (Glide Magazine). This is a rare solo show for Heather as her recent passion is SELKEN, her band project. SELKEN's debut album, “The Winds,” pairs Styka's two decades of song craft with shimmering synths, ambient textures, and a groove-forward pulse.
DJ Lilli Kuzma, of “Folk Festival” on WDCB 90.9fm Public Radio, will guest emcee this special show.
Doors open at 6:30pm. For tickets and information, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://maplestreetconcerts.org/;" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">maplestreetconcerts.org/. </a>Tickets available at the door with cash or check only. (Photo:&nbsp;Dagenhart on left, Styka on right)
