Bonus interview from the original Windy City Times/Chicago Reader collaboration with Amy Matheny.
On this Chicago: Queer and Now, Amy talks with KC Ortiz. KC Ortiz is becoming a tour de force Chicago music maker who the Chicago Reader says “drops meaty, assertive rhymes with a triumphant punch, and her frisky performances can make any instrumental sound better.”
