Join us on September 26th for Good Trouble Gala — a benefit for Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights.  

This year we will have a live performance by Michael Ross.

Michael Ross, a native of Chicago, IL. was encouraged at an early age to take private guitar lessons at the Chicago School of Music. While advancing his studies in music at Loop Jr. College and Chicago Conservatory of Music, Michael performed at several of Chicago's local jazz clubs. He soon later became the staff guitarist for the first New York Broadway National Touring Company's production of "The Wiz," that toured across the United States. Michael's sound is true to the heart - filled with emotions, style, technique. His creative abilities allow him to compose his own original music, which allows him to tell a story - going beyond normal boundaries and giving his listeners only the best!

Michael's style and artistry have enabled him to perform with a number of great artists such as, Ramsey Lewis, Hank Crawford, Najee, Jimmy McGriff, Nancy Wilson, Angela Bofill and Jonathan Butler. He has toured the United States and Europe (Italy) Michael have shared the stage with, Norman Connors, Jean Carne, Michael Henderson, Keith Washington, Lonnie Liston Smith, Bobbie Humphrey and opening act for Chaka Khan and Patti LaBell and more.

We hope that you will join us! Together, we can make some very good trouble, raise meaningful support, and realize a beautiful future for civil rights and racial equity in Chicago and beyond.
