Sima Cunningham, Macie Stewart and Alaina Stacey @ Schubas
Three songwriters, three powerful voices: Chicago natives Sima Cunningham, Macie Stewart (Kids These Days) and Alaina Stacey bring together an array of younger luminaries from throughout the city's music scene for a night that seamlessly blends rock, jazz, and R&B (often all in the same song) at Schubas, 3159 N. Southport. Show starts at 7pm, tickets available here for $10. All ages.
The Veneration of Whores
