All Ages $12.00 ($15.00 Door)
Lincoln Hall
Singer-songwriter Mike Kinsella loves a good cover. In 2009 he was invited to play a benefit show for Girls Rock! Chicago, a non-profit he has long supported, and took the opportunity to pay homage to one of his favorite musician - Morrissey. He assembled a band of friends equally eager to take on the challenge and together they helped raise a hefty chunk of change to provide scholarships for girls ages 8-16 itching to learn an instrument at GR!C summer camp. After two years, they are reuniting for one night only to play the songs of The Cure. Don't miss this opportunity to see Mike joined by Bob Nanna, Joe Trohman, Dustin Currier, Drew Brown & Mark Rose as they channel Robert Smith & company. Chicago's premier punk rock choir, Blue Ribbon Glee Club, will open with a set of goth tunes to set the mood. And once again, all proceeds benefit Girls Rock! Chicago.
Girls Rock! Chicago is a 501c3 non-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.
