Kris Allen and The Secret Sisters Now On-Sale at City Winery Chicago

City Winery Chicago, 1200 W. Randolph Street, announces singer/songwriter and American Idol winner Kris Allen and more. The following shows go on sale to the public on Thursday, September 7 at noon at citywinery.com/chicago.

The Secret Sisters

Monday, December 4

$18/$20/$22/$25

Americana singing and songwriting duo Laura and Lydia Rogers are The Secret Sisters. At one point, they went from touring with Bob Dylan to losing their label, purging their team, filing bankruptcy and almost permanently trading harmonies for housecleaning. But, the sisters kept moving forward, and they came out with a biting and beautiful third LP, You Don't Own Me Anymore. Their first release as New West signees, it's a document of hardship and redemption, of pushing forward when it would be so much easier to drown in grief. And, it's a story about how passion and pure artistry can be the strongest sort of salvation - how art is left, like perfect grains of sand, when everything else has washed away.
