#1 Lori Branch | "I Feel Evangelical About the Music"
In this first episode of House Music Chicago Testimony, host Lori Branch tells her own story — from growing up on Chicago's South Side to becoming one of the first female DJs on the emerging house music scene in the early 1980s. She shares what it felt like to stand on stage, heart pounding through her shirt, at her first DJ battle. And she introduces the community of friends, mentors, and pioneers you'll hear throughout this season. This is where the anthology begins.
Produced by Lori Branch and Hannah Viti. Funded by a grant from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Events. Music provided by Craig Loftis, Boo Williams, Vick Lavender, and Steve Ty Maestro.
