ChiPubLib Sound Off Winners Announced, Concert Date Set
Congratulations to Psalm One (aka Cristalle Bowen) for winning Chicago Public Library's Sound Off Music Contest in which local musicians were asked to compose an original song about the city of Chicago. Her entry, "My Bucket Song" was inspired by how much she missed Chicago after leaving to pursue musical endeavors in San Francisco last year. She returned in June and "was elated to be back." "Being in Chicago inspires me, and it makes me proud to be chosen to represent the city in my own special way," Bowen says.
The free concert will take place on Thursday, October 22 beginning at 5:30pm in Pritzker Park (344 S. State St., across from Harold Washington Library) where Psalm One will perform the winning entry, as well as some of her other original material. People's Choice Winner Shawn Pennington will open the concert with his submission "Doors Closing". Judges Jessica Hopper, Chris Force, Matthew Genthe and Rhymefest will also be in attendance.
