Bridge Lift: Damon Locks

On the morning of October 16th, 2021, Damon Locks performed a duet with the live sounds of the moving bridge during one of Chicago's scheduled bridge lifts. The rare performance was experienced by a small audience in the belly of the DuSable Bridge, where Locks performed with and among the moving gears of the historic 101 yr old bascule bridge. The sound was amplified outside of the bridgehouse engaging awaiting pedestrians and sailboats.
