Our fair city’s music needs your help.
As you may know, today’s economy is not doing well. This is forcing the city to have to make budget cuts where ever possible. That means cutting funding for some of Chicago’s free summer music festivals including Blues Fest, Jazz Fest, the World Music Festival, Summer Dance, and Millennium Park concerts such as Music Without Borders and the very cool Downtown Sound series, which only this past summer offered free performances from St. Vincent, Shellac, Dirty Projectors and the Feelies at the park’s beautiful Jay Pritzker Pavillon.
So help out. Sign the “No Cuts to Chicago Music, Arts & Cultural Programs!” petition and preserve Chicago’s free music. The petition has reached over 1,000 signatures and is nearing the goal of 1,500!
The petition’s full text is after the jump.
