Platinum-Selling Jazz Rockers Squirrel Nut Zippers To Perform Two Shows At SPACE

Platinum-Selling Jazz Rockers Squirrel Nut Zippers will be performing two shows at SPACE on November 12 as part of their Fall tour. During the shows, the SNZ will perform their greatest hits as well as songs from their latest critically-acclaimed album Lost Songs Of Doc Souchon, which features 10 brand-new tracks – a combination of newly-penned Zippers songs, along with a few tunes from past times.

SNZ, whose previous album titled Beasts Of Burgundy debuted at #4 on the Billboard Jazz Albums Chart, have released eight studio records throughout their career including their pivotal album Hot (1996). Lauded for taking their signature style of anti-establishment sound to commercial radio, Hot was the band’s sophomore album and was certified Platinum in 1997.

SNZ began their musical journey in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in the mid 1990s, as a musician’s escape from the cookie-cutter world of modern rock radio at the time. Mathus, along with drummer/percussionist Chris Phillips, formed the band as a casual musical foray among friends and family in the area. It wasn’t long before the band’s quirky mix of jazz chords, folk music, and punk rock leanings spread out of the region and attracted a national audience.

Since reactivating in mid-2016, SNZ have been performing to packed houses across the country and around the world. As Mathus has said since the band’s re-launch, “it’s not a reunion, it’s a revival.”

The SNZ shows start at 6 PM (doors) and 9 PM (doors) and tickets are available at https://www.evanstonspace.com.
