Lincoln Hall
This event marks the 21st and (sadly) final CRC monthly showcase at Lincoln Hall with Harmonica Dunn. Let's send him off with a bang!
Coming together in the Spring of 2008 after meeting at Columbia College in Chicago, Sidewalk Chalk has become a shining star in the burgeoning Chicago hip-hop scene.
Fronted by MC K’neqta Dots (Rico Sisney) and vocalist S-Star (Margaret Vagle), Sidewalk Chalk’s sound is a unique blend of jazz, soul, and hip-hop. The group is rounded out by Charlie Coffeen on keys, Garrett McGinn on bass, Tyler Berg on drums, and HornBreaD (David Ben-Porat on Trombone and Sam Trump on Trumpet).
Further contributing to the inspiring stage show put on by Sidewalk is tap-dancer Jumaane Taylor. Taylor describes his own role in the group as “to be an instrumentalist; to be another piece, another color, in the picture being created”.
The band’s rhythm section (often playing their own sets of classic hip-hop instrumentals under the name “The Ephelon Trio”), combines with HornBreaD and Jumaane Taylor to paint soundscapes as compelling as the performances of the vocalists.
