Liz Phair
It's hard to overstate what Guyville meant at the time. Today, echoes of its direct, finessed feminist interiority can be heard in similar work by young artists like Mitski, Soccer Mommy, St. Vincent, Snail Mail and others

Why see Liz Phair?
exile in guyville 30th anniversary!
In 1993, indie darling Liz Phair was thrust into the international spotlight when her Gold-certified debut album Exile in Guyville was released to much critical acclaim. The feminist singer songwriter's outspoken creative voice and lyrical content tackling the patriarchy in the creative industry would become a trademark in subsequent albums. You're invited to celebrate 30 years since the release of her beloved debut album, where she'll be joined by Blondshell as support!
Cutting her teeth in Chicago's underground alternative music scene in the early 90s, Phair bucked the punk trend by positively embracing her womanhood and releasing homemade tapes under the name Girlysound. Over two decades later, the guitar-toting songstress has lost none of her early vulnerability, musical instinct and Midwestern charm, returning to the stage on fine form.
