SUMMARY:The Transference + Midamerican Elevator at Ravenswood Manor Park
DESCRIPTION:Hardstop Records artist The Transference takes the stage at Ravenswood Manor Park for an evening of indie rock\, power pop\, and richly layered Chicago sound. \nLed by singer\, songwriter\, and keyboardist Laura Hollingsworth\, The Transference pairs dark\, reflective themes with playful lyrics\, lush harmonies\, and bright pop-rock arrangements.
