We at the membership engagement committee can't wait to (re)connect with you all in just two weeks in Chicago! We're keeping up an HCM tradition of putting together a playlist for our members to get into the host city headspace ahead of the trip. Chicago's music scene is a vibrant mix of genres, reflecting the city's rich cultural diversity. Known for its influential blues roots, Chicago has also made significant contributions to hip-hop, rock, and indie music.
Hip-hop artists like Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, and Common have emerged from Chicago with their unique styles blending soul, jazz, and introspective lyrics. The city's rock scene is equally impressive, with bands like The Smashing Pumpkins and Fall Out Boy making a significant impact in the alt rock genre. Wilco, an indie rock band, is renowned for their eclectic sound that incorporates elements of folk, country, and experimental music. Artists like Sufjan Stevens have added to Chicago's musical diversity with their indie-folk and baroque pop influences.
Overall, Chicago's music style is a dynamic fusion of various genres. Find the public playlist on Spotify at the link below and get ready to Feel the Illinoise!
