Join faculty, staff and friends as we celebrate the music and mindset of the summer of 1968 which culminated here in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention. This part-electric, part-acoustic evening promises to make everyone stand up and yell "Yippie!"
From the tales of Woody Guthrie to the jams at Sun Studios, to
the anthems of Ani Difranco, Victor Jara and Neil Young, music
has served as the Voice of the People. In this workshop we'll
play tunes that reacted to and shaped cultures (in the US and
abroad) while learning the history of the music and the
musicians. All instrumentalists, singers and hand clappers are
welcome! This workshop is a precursor to an 8 week class that Andrea will offer at Old Town starting this fall (Tuesdays 6:30 at 909 W Armitage, and Sundays 2pm at 4544 N LIncoln).
HOMOLATTE is a bi-monthly, all-ages, gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender/intersex spoken word and acoustic music series in Chicago. It happens on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month at BIG CHICKS. Enter through Big Chicks - performance in Tweet space. Free parking in back (through alley).
