The Minnesota bred entertainer known by his alter-ego, stage name Har Mar Superstar awed at The Chapel last Monday night with his unique take on soul! Tickets weren't sold out prior to doors opening but with a full balcony and not uncomfortably crowded floor, it felt like the show ended up hitting capacity before the headliner went on.
Poised and playfully arrogant, front man Sean Matthew Tillman sauntered on stage with the rest of the band in tow as the crowd gleamed with anticipation for him to steal the show.
His provocative coolness was an instant crowd connection as groovy rock N' soul tunes lofted through the converted mortuary. They played the gamut of their not so common range of soul fusion without a glitch. Elements of rock N roll, indie, funk and even some pop and R&B, it's appropriate to say that Har Mar Superstar is in the rock N' soul genre. And if that music genre hasn't been established yet, then Har Mar Superstar is the pioneer of it!
Along with a diverse repertoire of sounds, Har Mar Superstar himself changed his look on stage before the eyes of the audience a few times. From African print leggings and an all leather letterman, to a floor length Indian print dress, to a colorful stripped beach blanket to going topless, he looked like just another one of the hipsters there in their SF haven.
With strong, smooth, almost croon worthy vocals and an intriguingly seductive delivery, Tillman's singing style was as impressive as his enticing dance moves. His voice was steady and solid as he wiggled and glided all around stage. The band even got in on the action too, with some synchronized dips and shimmies through out the show! While all of his moves were very impressive, his most impressive move that night is when he did a handstand mid song!
Flaunting a gaudy confidence Har Mar Superstar puts on an engaging, theatrical, animated personable, entertaining show full of heart and soul!
