Mathien

About Mathien—the nucleus of the band was formed at Southern Illinois University Carbondale around the magnetic personality of singer/songwriter/guitarist Chris Mathien. Bassist Mike Schiff and drummer Aaron Bouslog were initially drawn to Mathien’s sharply observed lyrics and eclectic musical influences. After signing with Midwest Music Group, relocating to Chicago and releasing their debut “Hello Again” the band took to the road and became a formidable live act selling out venues in Chicago and throughout the Midwest. In the fall of 2010 with the addition of keyboardist Peter Wilkins the band returnedto the studio to begin work on their latest release “The Night I was an AlphaMale”. The album is available in CD format through the band’s officialwebsite : www.mathienlive.com and soon through all favored digital outlets including iTunes.
