QUEEN!
with rotating resident DJs...

Beginning Sunday April 8, every week in Smart Bar it’s “Queen!” Head organizer and resident DJ Michael Serafini and friends bring together House Music's best and most beloved DJs – Derrick Carter and Chez Damier - alongside some of Chicago's most notorious hosts to create a fun, no-pretense and affordable night of quality underground music. The vibe is warm, welcoming and inclusive, reminiscent of the early days of House Music before it exploded out of the mostly black-and-gay venues of Chicago's south side and into mainstream America. “Queen!" came into being from a common desire to host a GLBT night "by queens, for queens" so to speak- that moves away from the typical Top 40 remix and commercial dance music format that permeates the Halsted Street bars and clubs on a regular basis,” says Nate Seider, Smart Bar Talent Buyer. “We’re very excited to kick off this residency on April 8th!” Queen will begin at 10pm every Sunday and cover is just $5.
