Coming together from all corners of Chicago's music scene, Bethany Hamilton (vocals), Rob Clearfield (electric guitar, keyboards), Chris Siebold (acoustic guitar, slide, bouzouki, hammered dulcimer), and Michael Caskey (percussion) leave behind their busy jazz, rock, session, and classical performing careers to create the unique atmosphere of Outertown. This indie-folk/Americana band simply lives in the beautiful space where clever song-writing meets technical mastery. The result is as mysterious as an island, smooth as a single malt, and delicious as pie.
