Chicago music has always been well-repped every Spring at SXSW in Austin, Texas. But the city has never come together, under one unified Chicago flag to share our significant scene and sounds on 6th Street. Until now…

Cavashawn's work with Project Focus via The Just Because Initiative was highlighted on the "Worldview" program, syndicated across National Public Radio yesterday! Stream the entire segment, which highlights Project Focus's coordinated efforts with villagers in Lyantonde, Uganda to improve their quality of life. We are working through The Just Because Initiative to raise money for Project Focus by helping students organize benefit concerts at Chicago-area high schools. Listen to the NPR segment here, and if you're so inclined, please donate to their cause. Or, if you are interested in organizing a benefit concert at your school, visit our Just Because Initiative website for more info.
We were lucky enough to open for The Academy Is at a special sold out hometown performance last weekend at Metro in Chicago. We were also lucky enough to make a number of new fans, including Amanda N. of Chicago, who texted her e-mail address to us during our set and won a T-shirt and a cymbal signed by the band! Congrats!
Cavashawn will be performing an acoustic set at the University of Illinois at Chicago this Thursday February 11th to benefit the Haitian Relief Efforts. Details are below:
