Chicago’s own five-time GRAMMY winning artist, Lalah Hathaway partnered with the CTA to bring riders and fans, “Made in Chicago: CTA x Lalah Hathaway.”
The partnership included an event on October 1, when Hathaway celebrated the release of her album “Made in Chicago” with fans riding on a CTA bus and train. The date also marked the birthday of her late father, legendary soul singer and songwriter Donny Hathaway, as well as the CTA’s 79th anniversary.
To commemorate the occasion, the 47th Street Green Line station was renamed “47th/Lalah Hathaway” for the day. Hathaway also surprised fans at the 95th/Dan Ryan Red Line station with a free performance of her hit song “Angel.”
Free posters were distributed to fans at the event and are now available to download here:
