NOTES IN WAX

​Step into the world of Illa City Nights with Shay Lyriq. This Saturday afternoon, join Shay and Herbs n’ Harlem to create candles infused with scents inspired by her new merch collection — scents that reflect the stories, memories, and energy behind her music.

​​As Illa City Nights plays, experience the EP through sound and scent, connecting to Shay’s roots, her family’s legacy, and the city that shaped her. Limited attendance ensures a focused, intentional afternoon.

​​This project is deeply rooted in origin and lineage. Shay is a relative of blues icon John Lee Hooker, and Illa City Nights feels like her stepping fully into that inheritance while telling her own story of Kansas City after dark.

​​The EP explores night energy — survival, reflection, and city life — with intention and presence. It’s not fast music; it’s lived-in music.
