Free Millennium Park Concert (CIVL) On July 14 Celebrates Chicago’s Independent Music Community
Chicago Independent Venue League (CIVL) joins more than 400 independent live music and performing arts venues across the country to celebrate Independent Venue Week. Nearly two-dozen CIVL members will host a variety of programs July 11 – 17, 2022. Thursday July 14 marks the return of CIVL’s Free Concert at Millennium Park, this year featuring Chicago’s Ric Wilson (hip-hop), Tasha (indie, singer/songwriter), and Mario Abney & The Abney Effect Brass Band (New Orleans jazz/soul).
Chicago’s reputation as a world renowned live music hub is largely due to independently owned and operated music venues’ legacies of nurturing homegrown talent. Performers from every genre are afforded opportunities to earn national recognition. More than 50 CIVL member venues proudly represent Chicago’s culture of diverse performative arts.
“For the second year in a row, Chicago Independent Venue League, in partnership with DCASE, is proud to present some of Chicago’s most promising artists. This summer’s showcase is just a sliver of the talent that music lovers can see every night of the week at one of more than 50 independent live music venues in Chicago.”
