Chicago-based nonprofit Quiet Pterodactyl has announced Situation Chicago 2, a compilation benefiting Chicagoland musicians through CIVL (Chicago Independent Venue League) SAVE Emergency Relief Fund.
Chicago Independent Venue League (CIVL) advocates on behalf of Chicago’s independently owned and operated concert venues and music halls. Founded in 2018, CIVL works to ensure the long-term viability of its member venues so they may continue to provide event-goers with enjoyable live music experiences.
Chicago’s reputation as a world renowned live music hub is largely due to independently owned and operated music venues’ legacies of nurturing homegrown talent. Performers from every genre are afforded opportunities to earn national recognition. More than 50 CIVL member venues proudly represent Chicago’s culture and musical style.
CIVL is a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit organization. Visit CIVLChicago.com for more information or to contribute.
