It Was Written

By Veronica Murtagh in Arts & Entertainment on Jun 25, 2009 8:20PM

2009_06_25_ItWasWritten.jpg Dancehall isn't a scene that is particularly big here in Chicago, at least not when compared to a city like NYC. It's a shame, because there's a lot we're missing out on. It looks like tonight is our lucky night. Red Stripe and The Fader have come together to present It Was Written, a celebration of Jamaican music to be held as an RSVP only event at Q4. Kingston dancehall queen Terry Lynn performs live with Johan Hugo (aka Radioclit) with an additional DJ set from Wildlife. Free entry and free booze is more than enough incentive for you to get out and get to know dancehall.

RSVP here and get pumped for the evening by downloading the free It Was Written album.

Terry Lynn and Johan Hugo with Wildcat, tonight, June 25, at Q4, 2716 W North Ave., 8 p.m., RSVP only, FREE, 21+.
