Chances Dances, a queer dance party and collective dedicated to building safer spaces in Chicago,and The Empty Bottle bring to you an evening of the smoothest, dopest jams.

Headlining this evening is ABDU ALI. Erected from the ghettos of Baltimore, ABDU ALI raps, sings, and chats over unorthodox and future sounds, creating music that’s visceral, spiritual, and very real. From his energetic visceral performances, spiritualizing audiences as a cosmic, punk, and soulful tempest on stage to his work to transcend musical boundaries has put in him in genre categories along lines of afro-futurism to noise rap to “post-apocalyptic” sounding. Direct support comes from JOY POSTELL, an LA-based r&b/soul artist who dabbles in the realms of blues, jazz, storytelling. Opening is KAYCEE ORTIZ, a Chicago-based artist, rapper, musician, writer, & entertainer doing what she loves the most. Her longing taste for “Southern Luxury” is the foundation of her music.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the artists and the Critical Fierceness Grant. http://www.chancesdances.org/fierceness
