Listen Up, Chicago!
Elevating unheard stories of service
and sacrifice, through song.
Listen Up Chicago creates and shares songs as a tribute to the humanity of essential workers in Chicago. The project is an opportunity to strengthen the bonds of community, and a chance for artists to use their craft to nurture empathy and express appreciation equal to the burden accepted by those who keep our city moving forward, especially in times of crisis.
