The third annual Frontwoman Fest takes over the Burlington on Saturday with 16 acts that embody the diverse talents of the city's female and female-identified musicians.
Adele Nicholas of Axons and Impossible Colors is also a self-employed civil rights lawyer—and she’s releasing a compilation to benefit the Chicago Community Bond Fund.
Beach House, Savages, FKA Twigs, and Carly Rae Jepsen are all great—but don’t let them distract you from the lopsided maleness of the festival’s bookings.
A broad range of Chicago acts featuring female musicians—including Melkbelly, Fury, Lykanthea, and Beat Drun Juel—gather on Saturday for the second Frontwoman Fest.
