Audiotree will be bringing Seattle singer/songwriter Chris Staples to Chicago for its Showcase tomorrow at the Tonic Room. Chris is touring in support of his latest solo release, American Soft, but he’s no stranger to the music scene.
Lead vocalist of the Florida indie-rock group, twothirtyeight until they disbanded in 2003, Chris formed and fronted Discover America. Across all of his endeavors, Chris has racked up an inarguably impressive discography of EPs and full length releases including this year’s “American Soft” which was funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign last winter.
You can check out Chris’s multiple vinyl releases including 12” and 7” records with both twothirtyeight and Discover America on his online store. If you’re planning on taking advantage of this killer opportunity for a free show, grab all of the information you’ll need, below.
Opening the show for Chris will be Chicago’s Mike Maimone, Venna, and Kellen & Me. If you’re looking for that sweet, sweet vinyl, Maimone has got you covered through Mutts, and Kellen has released his electro-folk-rock debut album on 180 gram vinyl through Audiotree. You can pick up the LP, complete with recycled content jacket, online for just $15.
The free 21+ Audiotree Showcase kicks off at the Tonic Room (2447 N Halsted Ave) at 8:00 PM, tomorrow night, 10/9.
