March 10 ChicagoMade Gospel Music A&R Auditions at Westpoint Missionary Baptist Church is part of a series of professional development opportunities offered this year by Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events
The 33rd Chicago Gospel Music Festival is June 1–2 at the Chicago Cultural Center + Millennium Park
In anticipation of the upcoming Chicago Gospel Music Festival in June, the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) is pleased to present the ChicagoMade Gospel Music Artists & Repertoire (A&R) Auditions on Saturday, March 10, 6–9 p.m., at the Westpoint Missionary Baptist Church (3566 S.

The ChicagoMade Gospel Music A&R Audition is part of the free 2018 DCASE Professional Development Series that includes a Fall A&R Audition for all music genres, as well as workshops, panel discussions, conferences and more. The program aims to support Chicago’s creative community and directly connect emerging artists to the City of Chicago’s most visible festivals, events and cultural programming.
DCASE is now accepting applications from soloists and groups in the gospel music and contemporary Christian music genres interested in an audition spot on March 10. Selected artists will earn an opportunity to perform live for an audience including a panel of major music and marketing executives. Additionally, participants will be considered for a set at this year’s Chicago Gospel Music Festival. The public is invited to enjoy the FREE performances of the hottest new music and cheer on their favorite local artists. The application and guideline information is available at chicagogospelmusicfestival.us. All artists and bands must submit an application by Friday, February 16, to be considered. Absolutely no walk-up auditions will be allowed.
Celebrating the music style’s deep Chicago roots with traditional choirs and contemporary urban gospel music, the 33rd Chicago Gospel Music Festival features local and national artists on June 1–2 in Millennium Park (201 E. Randolph St.) and the Chicago Cultural Center (78 E. Washington St.).

Glenn Danzig announced that he and his solo career band of the same name, @officialdanzigverotik, will be touring this fall with only 14 tour dates. The band wrote on their Instagram page, "These will be the only Danzig shows for the forseeable future, so do not miss this opportunity to see these rare Danzig performances." There's good and bad news about this.... #danzig #riotfest #aftershow
