Tuesdays on the Terrace | Shawnee Dez
About the Event
Summer Tuesdays come alive on the MCA terrace with free concerts highlighting artists from Chicago’s internationally renowned music community. Enjoy live music while relaxing on the lawn with your own picnic, or savor snacks and drinks available for purchase. Then head inside to catch the MCA’s summer exhibitions—we’re open late on Tuesdays and free for Illinois residents.
This week, Chicago vocalist and composer Shawnee Dez brings her soulful, R&B-infused sound to the MCA terrace. Known for her rich vocals and deeply expressive performances, Shawnee Dez creates music that resonates with heart and authenticity. In addition to her work as a musician, she hosts The Sit Down, a popular podcast presented by the Chicago Reader, where she interviews creatives across disciplines, from music and visual art to film and food.
