The TRiiBE kicked off its first #TRiiBETuesdays afterwork series with performances by two emerging artists on Chicago’s music scene: Eliana and Ben Burden.

Eliana hit the stage with a few original tracks, including her R&B single “Make It Happen.” (Watch the music video here).

Afterwards, Ben Burden gave the crowd a taste of his hip hop-infused R&B, performing a few songs off his debut EP, Concrete Maze. See photos of their sets below.
