In this season of giving thanks, local female musicians give back to the Chicago community by rocking out at “Covers to Cover II”. After years of performing original music shows, these musicians pay homage to their favorite rock, new wave and punk bands to benefit CAWC Greenhouse Shelter, a place where women can establish independence from their abusers.
The musicians include members of The Mekons, The Dials, The Venom Lords, Kim, WLUW DJs and more. These one-time-only bands play cover songs from bands like The Cars, Kiss, David Bowie, The Breeders and other great acts. The music styles range from alt-country to new wave to Hawaiian to rock and roll. This fun benefit is MCed by Rattina, the female rat puppet co-host of kid’s music TV show, “Chic-A-Go-Go!”.
Connections for Abused Women and their Children is committed to ending domestic violence. Using a self-help, empowerment approach, they provide shelter for women and children, counseling, advocacy, and a 24-hour hotline for people affected by domestic violence. They work for social change through education, service collaboration and institutional advocacy.
$1,500.00 was raised for the woman's homeless shelter, Deborah's Place, at the first "Covers for Cover" show in 2006. "Covers for Covers II" hopes to raise even more money and social consciousness for vulnerable women and their children.
