Girl Group Chicago "Songs of Resistance" at The Hideout!

Girl Group explores resistance through pop music. What does it mean to resist sonically? The evening will feature music, storytelling, and multimedia pieces all exploring these questions, and celebrating those that raise their voice. All proceeds go to Girls Rock!
