Enigmatic writer, musician, and photographer Michael Leviton will use this appearance at The Slipper Room as an opportunity to play his own take on 1950's-style striptease music.

“Brooklyn’s sharply dressed Michael Leviton…writes songs as catchy as anything found in the night clubs of the thirties and forties.”
– The New Yorker

Former Chicago reedist Matt Bauder is a dyed-in-the-wool jazz musician, but he’s long made a virtue of his versatility. He’s not only worked as a sideman in rock bands like Iron & Wine and Arcade Fire, but also played in the house band for the musical Fela! Bauder’s latest endeavor, Hearing Things, is a trio that features fellow jazz musicians J.P. Schlegelmilch—a keyboardist who lays down raunchy and distorted organ here—and drummer Vinnie Sperrazza. Together the trio play a kind Middle Eastern-flavored surf rock mixed with old-school R&B honking and striptease-worthy themes. It’s a blast of fun, the craftsmanship of the players never getting in the way of the grooves and hybrid melodies. —Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader
