ChiIL Mama caught Econoline's packed show at Phyllis' Musical Inn last month. They played with our friends in Prichard (whose guitar player is another Chicago dad who rocks. Neil is dad to 3 kids from preschool through elementary.) One of Sunday's guest vocalists is Bobby Conn (Chicago Dad to two young children) whose Schubas show we featured last weekend.
Girls Rock! Chicago is a 501(c)(3) non-for profit organization dedicated to fostering girls’ creative expression, positive self-esteem and community awareness through rock music. Through our music education programs for girls ages 8-16, we are committed to educating girls about the musical, technical, and creative aspects involved in musicianship, because we believe that young girls are rarely encouraged to explore self-expressive creative outlets and are less likely to be given access to musical and technical instruction or equipment. We believe that rock music can be a crucial tool in allowing young women to respond to preconceived notions of what they can do and what they can become.
Upcoming this week:
