  • Bio

    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 returned to the studio to begin work on their latest release "The Night I was an Alpha Male". The album is available in CD format through the band's official website www.mathienlive.com and soon through all favored digital outlets including iTunes.

    EGO STROKES: "I am not one to get excited about new talent, cause it sounds like the same beat, but Mathien is the shit." George Daniels (Legendary Chicago music store owner) "With a thriving mixture of genres and soulful melodies, their music breaks the bold, creating an original and alluring sound." -Studio A (PBS series) .. "Mathien's entry, "The Hard Way," blends soul and R&B elements to create a magnetic track." -billboard.biz "Mathien is undeniably talented. He is unique and timely without being trendy or derivative." -George Howard (www.artisthousemusic.org) "Mathien beats hip-hop while still smoothly pulling off jazz, rocks while softening with a little bit of pop, and gets crazy with a punk style but slows down with clear lyrical emphasis." -The Pulse Magazine "Somewhere between Prince and Dave Matthews is the party/pop/funk of Mathien's Head, Heart, and Hands." -The Nightlife (Best Local CD award)
