Chicago! Samantha Crain and the Midnight Shivers are playing tonight at the Empty Bottle and you really should come out. I’ve seen her four times now and each is completely wonderful and different each time. If you’ve not heard her sing, you’ve truly missed out on one of our greatest treasures in folk/rock music today. Her voice has been described as so many things from “gorgeously odd” to “haunting.” I just think it’s beautiful. This young woman has found a way to sing in a nuanced and folkish manner that is both charming and a bit unnerving and when backed by her band she raises a ruckus you just don’t expect by looking at her! “Rising Sun” is  a track from a Hear Ya session last year. It really shows the depth of her voice, how soulful it is. There’s more music over there and you should really get to know my friends at Hear Ya, they’re good people.

So come out tonight, and see Samantha Crain at the Empty Bottle. The show starts at 9:30 and tix are $8
