Can We Kick It Chicago?!?
Calling all artists, creative types and everyone else!
Four Letter Words & Marc Riordan’s Rager
Four Letter Words is a trio of transplants to Chicago from New York, Boston and Pittsburgh unified by their interest in small group improvisation. The moniker of Marc Riordan’s Rager seems to belie the true dispositions of the three musicians who comprise it, but only their debut performance as a unit will reveal the truth.
