POST-VALENTINE'S DAY WITH MATTHEW SANTOS

Valentine's Day is this Thursday and you're probably struggling for a game plan on where to take the old lady/old man in this incessant February blizzard. Well you're in luck! Chicago folk singer/songwriter Matthew Santos will be gracing Metro's main stage this Friday, February 15th. Santos has been touring nationally with alluring rapper/producer Lupe Fiasco, yet still managing to intertwine solo dates at particular US venues. Staying loyal to Chicago and his dedicated fans, Matthew Santos is headlining with a set that is promised to leave your ears and heart filled to the brim with delicate acoustic rhythms and ethereal vocals of sweet-nothings. Santos has taken elements from all genres of music and has found inspiration in other musical virtuosos such as Bjork, Sigur Ros, Radiohead and Indian violinist Dr. L. Subramaniam. No more hibernating and complaining about how long it took you to get here on the CTA Red Line. Now is the time! Let Santos be your dreamboat this year! Bring those chalky little heart candies and it may be a done deal.
