Created by saxophonist and composer Greg Ward, the Rogue Parade is an ensemble that was created by saxophonist and composer Greg Ward. In late 2015, Ward returned to Chicago after 6 years in New York City. In February 2016, Ward was contacted by The Whistler, one of Chicago’s newer bar and venues, about presenting a concert for their Relax Attack Jazz Series. For this performance, Ward assembled a group of highly-creative musicians featuring Dave Miller on guitar and effects, Matt Gold on guitar and effects, Matt Ulery on upright and electric bass, and Quin Kirchner on drums. He also composed a new set of music with the purpose of exploring this unique instrumentation, which blends the acoustic and electronic sonic worlds. Rogue Parade released an award winning album featuring 11 new compositions in on Greenleaf Music and has toured the U.S. and Europe.

**The Knox-Rootabaga Jazz Festival is not on campus and therefore is open to the general public.**
