Join us as we kick off the 2025 Connect (X) Convention with our 9th Annual Music Movement Charity Concert on Tuesday, May 13th in Chicago. This year’s concert will be hosted at the House of Blues Chicago, a world-class concert venue featuring state-of-the-art amenities for our guests in the heart of the Windy City.
We are thrilled to welcome multi-platinum-selling singer, songwriter, and performer Uncle Kracker as our headliner in this amazing concert venue! Uncle Kracker cuts right to the chase. He knows people want to kick back, forget about their troubles, and have a good time, so he’s always willing to oblige. For over two decades, the multi-platinum artist born Matthew Shafer has consistently soundtracked such good times with his boldly breezy blend of country, pop, and rock spiked with a splash of hip-hop.
Harmful Interference, featuring WIA’s own Patrick Halley, will open the show, setting the tone for an unforgettable night.
