In this season of giving thanks, local female musicians give back to the Chicago community at “Covers to Cover II”. After years of performing original music shows, these musicians pay homage to their favorite bands to benefit CAWC Greenhouse Shelter, a place where women can establish independence from their abusers.
The musicians include members of The Dials, The Venom Lords, Kim, The Handcuffs, CHIRP DJs and more. These one-time-only bands play cover songs from bands like The Cars, Kiss, David Bowie, The Breeders and more. The music styles range from alt-country to new wave to Hawaiian to rock and roll. This fun benefit is MCed by Rattina, the female rat puppet co-host of kid’s music TV show, “Chic-A-Go-Go!”.

Using a self-help, empowerment approach, they provide shelter for women and children, counseling, advocacy, and a 24-hour hotline for people affected by domestic violence.
