Hamid Drake and Michael Zerang have been performing together for over 30 years. Called “an anchor, a beacon, and a seasonal tradition in its own right” by The Chicago Reader, their longstanding solstice concerts have built a rapport between the master percussionists that’s meditative, ever-renewing, and always on point, any day of the year. The endlessly impactful Chicago drummer/percussionist Hamid Drake is one of creative music’s most in-demand virtuosos. His deep, expansive style harmonizes techniques and influences from Afro-Caribbean rhythms, Indian classical music, and the rich lineage of jazz. His longtime collaborators have included Don Cherry, Marilyn Crispell, Herbie Hancock, and William Parker.

Fellow Chicagoan Michael Zerang is a multidisciplinary percussionist/composer. Since 1976, he’s explored textural free improv, contemporary composition, and experimental theatre, using vibrating drumhead surfaces, multi-timbral experimentations, and a host of other non-traditional approaches. A long-standing collaborator of Peter Brötzmann, Joe McPhee, and Fred Lonberg-Holm, he also performs with the experimental Middle-Eastern super-group Karkhana.
