Listen (Chicago Music)
2008 - Present
I prefer music in person, there’s a visceral connection between the atmosphere and participants that is magical. Chicago is known for its diverse and rich music culture and history. Here, one will find pictures of Chicago music environments, listeners, and performers. This summary of images is taken from thousands of photographs produced at a variety of practices spaces and venues (mainstream to underground) over more than 15 years.
