Unlike most students, I stayed on campus for winter break. There seemed no better way to spend it than to take advantage of Chicago’s abundance of concerts. Recently Lincoln Hall and Schubas Tavern, sister venues Lincoln Park and Lakeview respectively, have become personal favorites. Their shows, more frequent and intimate than others I’ve experienced, create incredible atmospheres for attendees. During recent shows by Elley Duhé and Yoshi Flower, the artists interacted with the crowd and stay after their sets to meet fans.

Based on his varied music taste and influences growing up, Yoshi’s music has been considered hard to describe or pin down to any one genre in particular. Photographed by McKenzie Fitz. -
