It was a regular Thursday. I kept forgetting that I’d get to see someone so inspirational speak later, someone who had become a legend in the world of dance. It was clear when I arrived at the Chicago Humanities Fest event, shuffled…
Alright, I’ll be honest. My original theme was going to be songs infused with dreamy vibes (that’s up for my next turn, I promise!). But, if you’re like me and had all of your Seasonal Affective Disorder dissipated within the…
What’s better than Big Star and the Freewheelers? A little bit of both, of course. On Friday, February 24, the GMan Tavern will welcome two legendary artists, joining forces under the name of the Those Pretty Wrongs. Jody Stephens of Big…
Photos by Julian Ramirez Tomorrow Never Knows never disappoints. In addition to promoting well-known favorites all over Chicago, we’re also given stellar performances by local up-and-comers. Wednesday evening brought about an evening full of performances by Midwest natives and two Brooklyn…
