CHIRP: The Chicago Independent Radio Project

Karin Fjellman writes

Weekly Voyages Thurs 4/9 thru Wed 4/15

Slowly but pretty surely, spring is easing its way into the Chi. Wait, there’s still snow on the horizon? Bah! Who are we even kidding?! At least this week is looking pleasant. In that light, why not enjoy these mild nights with some pretty sounds? Though I won’t even bother to mention the sold-out shows for a certain local chap who’s gotten so big that his shows are going for a hundred bones… but there’s plenty more you can do on the cheap. Read on for more.
