Courtney Barnett Brings Touring ‘Here and There’ Festival to Chicago’s Salt Shed

Courtney Barnett’s touring Here and There Festival made a stop at Chicago’s Salt Shed Tuesday night. The boutique festival has included a rotating line-up featuring different supporting artists handpicked by Barnett. New Zealand indie pop band, The Beths, kicked things off in front of an already packed Salt Shed Tuesday night. Canadian indie pop rockers, Alvvays, then took the stage playing songs old and new.

“Here And There feels like a natural culmination of energy after years of touring, and ten years of working on my label Milk! Records. It’s something I’ve been forever daydreaming about, and part of an always evolving project to share spaces and build new platforms for art and artists that I believe in,” said Barnett in a statement at the time of the festival’s announcement.
