Eric Prado is a first-generation Mexican-American born and bred in Chicago. He is an ad guy by day. A yoga instructor by night. A lover of all food, especially Mexican. What he lacks in latin rhythm, he makes up for in latin height.

 

Errol McClendon is a Chicago solo performer and storyteller and a recent Moth winner. His stories have been heard all over the Chicago area and online at the Elmhurst History Museum web site. Errol also has a solo show, Inner State Stories, which will be a part of the Filet of Solo Festival early next year and will tour next summer. In the upcoming months Errol will be telling stories at Voicebox in Berwyn, Life Out Loud in The Pullman District, Ten By Nine on North Clybourn, Air Studio in Glencoe and The People Tree in Naperville. In October he will be telling ghost stories for The Schaumburg Library at Pollyanna Brewery’s Roselle Tap Room. Errol’s alter ego portrays patients for medical students in order to teach them communication skills. He loves sushi, his dog Cooper and his wife Wendye - not necessarily in that order.

 

Alicia Nesbary Moore is Chief Veggie Officer of Herban Produce. A native of Richton Park, Illinois, Nesbary Moore is an urban farmer in Chicago’s East Garfield Park neighborhood. Trained as a molecular biologist, Nesbary Moore oversees the cultivation of a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs and microgreens for her agricultural business Herban Produce.

When Alicia isn't farming, she is at brunch or binging the latest show with her life partner JeVon and daughter Sevyn.
