Lindsay Anderson (Chicago) with Nathaniel Heuer at the Jazz Gallery, Aug 30, 7pm

Lindsay Anderson is best known for her work with the critically acclaimed dream pop, chamber-rock group L'Altra. Now Anderson is back with her new solo project -- the conceptual album Forgiving. Inspired by the romantic entanglement of surrealist painters Leonora Carrington and Max Ernst as well as her own experience, the album is a heroine's journey told through music, exploring themes of artistic identity, power dynamics, feminine self-reclamation and defining one's voice within male-dominated creative spaces. Lindsay has shared the stage with the Cowboy Junkies and Todd Rundgren (Park West), indie musicians The Stars, Bill Callahan/Smog and Cat Power, electronic artist Damo Suzuki and Drag City groups Edith Frost and Bonnie Prince Billy. Forgiving is her eighth studio album, after Same Waves (2018).
