Every Tuesday night, Uncommon Ground\u2019s Live Intimate Listening Rooms spotlight artists who might otherwise be plugging up to amplifiers in their garages and basements. Here, they get their chance to perform in front of a room filled with friends, family, and other Chicago local music fans.<\/p>\n

Artists such as Danielle “Miss Jones” Jones \u2013 who has been singing since she was 10, but never really considered herself as a performer \u2013 are provided the opportunity to debut their material live and uncut. Jones, 21, is an Indiana native who moved to Chicago right after she graduated high school. She now deems herself as an amateur pianist and a practiced vocalist.<\/p>\n

She will be performing Tuesday night, romancing the audience with soft ballads about her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started becoming seriously involved with writing [music] about a year ago. I wasn\u2019t really singing for a year. I was at a really, really terrible time in my life, and healed myself through my music,\u201d said Jones, \u201cEach one of these songs I wrote [since] helped get me through that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each time a Homegrown artist performs, they get to choose the bands that accompanies them. That gives other local artists and bands such as \u201cLyn Rye\u201d and \u201cThe Oh Yeahs\u201d time to rev up the audience with tunes by singers such as Lorde, as well as the chance to mix in material from their own EP\u2019s and albums.<\/p>\n

As part of the residency,\u00a0 each Homegrown artist of the month selects a charity to which part of the proceeds of the show go. Rebecca Baruc, 26, music program curator for Uncommon Ground, said October was the first month a sponsor reached out to her to help provide funding to record and produce the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started with Lakeview Pantry, and wanted to keep it [the nonprofit] local, and just having Uncommon Ground pick what fit,\u201d said Baruc, \u201cBut then, we had another local band member who is volunteering with “Our Music, My Body” come to us and say, ‘Hey, we noticed you\u2019ve been growing Homegrown, and would like to personally sponsor the next artist to help with exposure.’ So, it all kind of fell into place really nicely; it also motivates the artist more if they\u2019re involved in the cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our Music, My Body is coordinated\u00a0<\/a> by two Chicago-led domestic violence awareness groups, Between Friends and the Rape Victims Association. They work by providing assistance to victims of sexual assault at music festivals. According to a 2017 articles by The Guardian, \u201creports of rape and other attacks are on the rise\u201d at festivals.<\/p>\n

Abby Sapadin, 28, a fourth-year medical student, is a regular at Uncommon Ground and came out after she heard about Jones\u2019 performances on Instagram through a website account @Do312<\/a>, where you can find upcoming events in-and-around the Chicago area.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw Miss Jones perform recently at an open mic here [a few weeks ago], and was blown away,\u201d said Sapadin, \u201cBut every group was awesome for different reasons. I love how much it brings together people in this community; people who tangentially know each other, and \u2013 through random degrees of separation \u2013 we all find each other here listening to amazing music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uncommon Ground uses Yelp! Reservations to reserve tables for their listening rooms free of charge. Tables are booked for two-hour slots \u2013 the length of the show \u2013 and have full menu and beverage service. (Chris McConaghey\/Medill)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
