About Me

Multi-Instrumentalist Chris Mathien has been making home recordings in various places of residence since he was 15. During his sophmore year at Southern Illinois University, these recordings caught the attention of local musicians, and a revolving door of players (as well as some core members) began to aid mathien on the road and in the studio. The band has been going strong for 3 years straight, and their performances are tight as hell. If they come to your town, don't pass up a chance to see them!
