Since their debut in early 2005, Information Superhighway has been a fixture on the Chicago music scene. With singer Leslie Beukelman and composer/multi-instrumentalist Rob Clearfield (Fareed Haque Group) at the helm, the Superhighway easily transcends the confines of genre and tradition. Alongside bassist Patrick Mulcahy (National Trust) and drummer John Smillie (Eli Jones), Clearfield and Beukelman draw on such diverse influences as '70's prog rock, jazz, gospel, Icelandic ambient-pop, Americana and the best of today's underground rock, creating a sonic world that is uniquely their own. Catchy yet sophisticated, hard hitting but sensitive, Information Superhighway forges ahead into uncharted territory.
After many months in the studio, the Information Superhighway released their debut record First Morning in 2006. The album brings together seven of Clearfield's compositions, ranging from catchy pop to jazz improvisation to mind-blowing modern rock. Both intimate and intense, First Morning has been met with rave reviews. Two years later, the band is hard at work on a new record, due for release this fall. In the meantime, the Superhighway continues to amaze and rock the world's of listeners young and old alike.
