Chicago is a hotbed for all sorts of great live music but not every show is available to just anyone, sometimes you have to be a little bit in-the-know. Erfan Sharifpour is a master of the ancient Persian lute, known as the tar, and one of those intimate, underground artists that plays small venues and houses around the city. Erfan stops by Morning Shift to bring you your own private performance. Photo: T. Sarabia
