About the event
Millie Ahearn at Space
Millie Ahearn is a creative and forward-thinking musician in the Chicago music scene. She blends her dynamic bandleading and compositional flair with a commitment to mentorship and community building, directing her musical voice in all channels towards social change. Her music houses the experiences of a transgender musician navigating expressions of queerness through jazz, focusing largely on transformation and the coming of the self into new life. Millies upcoming album, Theyness, exists as a 12-song storybook that paints the human self as a multitude and examines the beautiful chaos of developing self-love. Each tune dedicates itself to a season of the year, exploring cycles of continual death and rebirth as a prerequisite to renewed life. It addresses the coexistent grief, joy, displacement, chaos and undying hope of the queer experience.
