Family Junket is a Chicago-based collective pushing boundaries with a collaborative mindset and a distinct, roots-informed sound. Led by multi-instrumentalists Max Lazarus and Laura Phillips, the group includes core members Clarence Young, Rahila Coats, Scott Daniel, Hasani Cannon, Carmani Edwards, and Lazarus siblings Zach and Jonah. Since forming in the late 2020s, they’ve cultivated a dynamic live presence and a growing catalog that reflects a commitment to community, experimentation, and shared creative leadership. Their work sits at the intersection of indie, jazz-adjacent textures, and expressive ensemble storytelling, touring and performing across Chicago and beyond.
