Every year we release Synthesizer Showroom, our homage to iconic synth instrument, the Buchla modular synthesizer. We made the beer a West Coast IPA as a nod to the sunny shores where the synth was born.

To celebrate the waves and bleeps we are pleased to announce the third annual Synth Fest, a six day electronic music adventure featuring live musical performances and more.

If you are curious about who is making the sounds of the future using instruments from the past you should join us. It will be an amazing time to enjoy the wide range of music these advanced musicians are making.

All the shows are free and are happening at Life on Marz, The Sylark and Marz Mothership.

We will also host the beloved Chicago Synth Flea Market of electronic instruments! Dozens of vendors from around the midwest will be showing their new and used collections. If you want to see a veritable museum of synths, stop by. If you need some new gear, don't miss it.
