Decibel Crawl: A New Festival with an Inclusive Focus

Published: Nov. 15, 2018, 4:08 p.m.

Artists from throughout Chicago will be participating in a new, multi-venue festival this weekend (November 16-18). Decibel Crawl Fest, organized by Beverly native Clyde Moreau, started with the goal of highlighting local artists of color and LGBTQ+- and women-identifying artists, and paying them fairly “in exchange for what they give to inspire us.” The new DIY festival has shows in venues across the city, including Bohemian Grove in McKinley Park. South Side Weekly Radio's Janaya Crevier spoke with Moreau as well as performers Eiigo Groove and Audra Duval about their hopes for the festival. The bumper at the beginning features SSW reporter Bridget Vaughn and the Chicago band Malafacha and was produced by Jed Lickerman. For more news, visit www.southsideweekly.com.
