Winefred RT w/ Maximiano, & Gunnar Schmitz
Winefred RT is the folk project of Chicago-based artist Zoe Bockhorst. Her music draws heavily from the legacy of folk storytellers and is shaded with the perspective of city life. Winefred RT’s stark observational storytelling often captures the melancholy of relationships alongside the quiet beauty of everyday moments. Her forthcoming acoustic EP “Anything Better To Do” captures this ethos, reflecting a journey through heartbreak, growth, and finding comfort in transience.
Raised in Milwaukee and steeped in the Midwest’s vibrant indie scene, Winefred RT’s music resonates with listeners seeking emotional depth and relatability. You might like to listen to Winefred RT in the backseat of a car, your forehead on the chilled glass, watching the raindrops roll down the window.
Maximiano’s music is almost never about just one emotion, moment, or person. It is about the way that experience flows and how music can express this growth and change. Riding waves of indie folk orchestration, Maximiano’s passionate voice conveys heartbreak, love, and vulnerability. Their lyrical style, heavily informed by their training as a writer and poet, combines evocative images and confessional lines to fit the balance of each song. The result is a flowing, expressive sound that guides you on an emotional journey through changing dynamics, the weaving of melody and countermelody, and a devotion to the truth of emotion: that it is ever-changing.
