Empty Heaven, Jason Shapiro, Collective Fictions

Empty Heaven is a project that asks you to get lost in it. Between the cavalcade of releases from the year 2025 (6 albums), the performances that are never the same twice, and a very broad emotional bandwidth, it’s Anthony’s internal world made manifest.

Sometimes, it’s the 6-piece band version of Empty Heaven creating a dizzying sonic atmosphere, or it’s Anthony solo at the piano doing an interactive, freewheeling show. Either way, EH puts on a show to be remembered and mulled over.

Combining the poetic with the blunt realities of life and a healthy dose of dark humor, Collective Fictions weaves together narratives depicting peoples’ tragedies, triumphs, and all the strangeness that lies in between.

Jason Shapiro has burned bridges with such prominent acts as Frog, Florry, and Good Flying Birds. He is a licensed aroma therapist and splits his time between Chicago and Dubai.
