The Tunnel Musicians of Chicago

I recently spent some time interviewing, photographing and recording a few musicians in the CTA tunnels. It was an incredibly inspiring and rewarding experience. I met some good people. We talked. I listened to what they had to say and to what they had to play. I was moved by both. I got the impression they enjoyed the experience as well, and I sincerely hope they did.

It was all part of a piece I was working on for Gapers Block, and it was posted to the site today: The Tunnel Musicians of Chicago.

   This is absolutely tremendous. I’ve always hoped that there would be something like this, a digest of street performers, and you’ve supplied just that. Really, really, great stuff, Brian. Keep up the great work.
