By Robert White , Editor-In-Chief With a bass in hand and punk roots in his soul, Evan Thorne is helping lead Showoff into a powerful new era. The veteran Chicago-based band—once known for its breakout hits like “Falling Star” and high-energy anthems of the early 2000s—is finding fresh momentum thanks to a revitalized lineup and their latest EP, Haverstraw, out now on Manic Kat Records. Thorne, the band’s newest bassist, joined just over a year ago but has already left a major impression. “There was always music in the house growing up,” Evan said. “My parents played guitar and keys, and I was drawn to bass from a young age. I didn’t even know what it meant at the time, but I knew I wanted to be that guy in the band.” Though Evan’s background includes everything from classical guitar to power pop obsessions, joining Showoff marked a full-circle moment. “I used to listen to these guys in high school,” he said. “When I joined, it was a little intimidating. But within weeks, we were playing big shows—like opening for Anberlin and Eve 6. It felt right immediately.” Originally formed in the late ’90s, Showoff made a name for itself with a polished mix of punk energy and Beach Boys-inspired vocal harmonies. Their debut album dropped in 1999, produced by Goldfinger’s John Feldmann, and included tracks that helped define a regional pop-punk movement in Chicago. “They were one of the first Chicago bands to put this sound on a national pedestal,” Evan said. “They helped open the door for groups like Fall Out Boy and Lucky Boys Confusion.” Now, decades and several lineup changes later, the band is experiencing a creative resurgence. The Haverstraw EP—named after the studio where it was recorded—features the explosive single “Crimson,” a fan favorite that finally received the spotlight it deserved. “It just punches you in the teeth,” Evan said. “There’s this timeless energy to it. The chorus references ‘Crimson and Clover’ by Cher, but it’s also a nod to Jimmy Eat World’s ‘A Praise Chorus.’ It’s an earworm—you feel like you’ve heard it before.” The “Crimson” music video matches the band’s quirky, authentic vibe. Shot DIY-style with footage from intimate live shows and playful scenes in Milwaukee thrift shops and record stores, it captures the band’s chemistry and offbeat charm. “None of it was scripted,” Evan said. “It’s just us goofing off and playing packed shows in basements and bowling alleys. We wanted to show who we really are.” That camaraderie also fuels the songwriting process, which Evan calls “the most collaborative and ego-free” experience of his career. “Someone brings a riff, someone adds a groove, and if it clicks, we run with it,” he explained. “It’s the most natural and creatively safe environment I’ve ever been in.” Now, with Haverstraw gaining traction and live performances heating up—including a recent slot at Chicago’s Taste of Randolph Street and a direct support spot at Milwaukee’s Summerfest alongside Plain White T’s and Motion City Soundtrack—Showoff is riding a new wave of momentum. But it doesn’t stop there. “We’re currently writing a full-length album we hope to release next year,” Evan revealed. “We’re also focused on playing more shows and reconnecting with fans who have been with us for years—and new ones who are just discovering us now.” Showoff’s legacy in pop-punk runs deep, but thanks to musicians like Evan Thorne, their future is just as promising. “This band has been through a lot,” Evan said. “But right now, we’re the strongest we’ve ever been.” 🎧 To hear the full conversation with Evan Thorne, tune in to his episode on T he Savoir Faire Audio Experience , streaming now.

By Robert White , Editor-In-Chief When Guillaume Muller speaks about music, it’s not just with admiration—it’s with scholarly devotion. The French-born, New York–based jazz guitarist recently released his latest project, Six Pieces of Horace, a solo guitar record that pays homage to one of his greatest influences, Horace Silver. What began as a pandemic-era study session blossomed into a masterfully executed tribute album. “I started by just wanting to become a better musician,” Guillaume explained. “I was stuck at home in 2021 and decided to go through Horace Silver’s discography—especially his work from the ’50s and ’60s. It wasn’t meant to become a solo guitar record at first.” As Guillaume dove deeper into Silver’s catalog, transcribing tracks and analyzing arrangements, a vision began to form. “Eventually, I had about 20 to 30 tunes transcribed, with every instrument arranged. I started playing around with them on guitar, just for fun, but then I trimmed it down to six that really translated well as solo arrangements.” The result is Six Pieces of Horace—an evocative six-track record that reimagines classic Horace Silver compositions through the nuanced voice of solo jazz guitar. Muller handpicked fan-favorites like “Strollin’,” “Peace,” and “Doodlin’,” as well as lesser-known gems like “Juicy Lucy” and “Let’s Get to the Nitty Gritty.” His arrangements are subtle, intricate, and filled with reverence. “Transforming a piano-based jazz quintet composition into a solo guitar piece is no easy feat,” he noted. “You’ve got the horns, the rhythm section, and the piano working together. The challenge is blending those parts into one cohesive guitar performance—while still honoring the original spirit.” Recording the album in a professional studio was a deliberate choice for authenticity. “I wanted it to be honest and organic,” Guillaume said. “The idea was to capture my performance on a given day with no tricks—just how I play right now.” The project’s title and cover art are a clever nod to Horace Silver’s iconic album, Six Pieces of Silver. “That record has always meant a lot to me,” Guillaume shared. “So this was my way of saying thank you. It’s a homage in every sense.” Guillaume’s background as a composer and improviser adds emotional depth to his playing. A Berklee College of Music graduate with a master’s from NYU, he’s been lauded for both his technical skill and expressive sensitivity. Publications like Making a Scene and Contemporary Fusion Reviews have already highlighted Muller as a rising talent to watch. Though Six Pieces of Horace is entirely composed of arrangements, Guillaume’s original music is never far behind. His previous album, Sketches of Sound, was a mix of original compositions that showcased his melodic instincts and signature voice on the guitar. One fan-favorite track, whimsically titled “Lullaby for a Capybara,” stemmed from “a strong emotional moment” and began as a simple melody. “Melody is always the starting point,” Guillaume said. “Harmony, structure—those all follow. The emotional content comes first.” This year, while the world listens to his Horace Silver tribute, Guillaume is already at work on his next project—an all-original quartet record. “I’ve got a collection of songs I’ve written over the years but never recorded,” he said. “Now’s the time to bring them to life.” Six Pieces of Horace is now available on all streaming platforms—a thoughtful, deeply musical journey through Silver’s timeless works reimagined with grace, texture, and a personal touch that only a solo jazz guitarist could deliver. 🎧 Want to hear the full conversation with Guillaume Muller?

By Robert White , Editor-In-Chief Dina Renée is no stranger to emotional storytelling, but with her latest single "Glow Up," the rising pop artist takes empowerment to dazzling new heights. Following the release of her soulful track “Ready When I’m Gone,” Dina returns with a fierce, upbeat anthem that captures the moment when heartbreak turns into self-liberation. “It’s about finding your sparkle again,” Dina shared during our recent conversation. “It captures the moment that you stop second guessing your worth, wipe your tears, and start glowing from the inside out.” With a background in both music and acting, Dina’s creative evolution has been fueled by resilience. From singing into a Fisher-Price tape recorder in her childhood closet to releasing high-energy pop tracks and performing live in Los Angeles, she’s come a long way—and her music reflects that journey. Co-written with Brooke Tomlinson and produced by AJ Arroyo, “Glow Up” is more than just a summer bop. It’s a testament to rediscovery after romantic fallout. “Originally, I wanted it to be something fun for people to use in their Instagram reels—like a makeup transformation or something light,” Dina explained. “But when I sat down with my co-writer, the song evolved into something deeper, more personal.” That deeper meaning is rooted in real experience. “I had just gone out with a friend after not seeing her for a year. We were both going through breakups. Hers was especially tough—really toxic,” she revealed. “She wasn’t even allowed to wear certain clothes. That conversation lit a fire in me.” The lyrics reflect that transformation: a reclamation of joy, identity, and self-worth. “There’s a line in the song that says, ‘There’s lots of sparkle in my eye for a year of my damn life,’” Dina said. “It’s that moment when you finally look in the mirror—or see a picture of yourself—and realize you’re happy again. That’s what this song is about.” With millions of streams and an ever-growing social media following, Dina Renée is steadily making her mark in the Empowerment Pop space. Her sound—a bold mix of emotional depth and catchy hooks—feels both intimate and universal. “I write songs as a form of therapy,” she said. “I don’t want to write something I’m not feeling in that moment. It has to be real.” “ Glow Up ” isn't just for the brokenhearted—it's for anyone rediscovering their confidence and stepping back into their light. And while Dina wrote the song to be relatable and shareable, it’s the sincerity behind the glitter that makes it stand out. A performer at heart, Dina also teased what’s coming next. “I have six or seven more tracks lined up,” she said. “I’m focused on doing more shows, hopefully working with an indie label, and throwing more release parties like the one we just had for ‘Glow Up’ in Hollywood. It was such a vibe—red carpet, pink carpet, press, the works.” From acting in TV shows like Glee  and The Goldbergs  to launching new music that empowers listeners, Dina Renée is crafting a career that’s as multifaceted as it is authentic. “Whether I’m singing or writing or performing, I want to make people feel something,” she said. “Especially after a breakup—sometimes you just need that one song to help you through.” “Glow Up” is now streaming everywhere, and it's the perfect soundtrack for your Hot Girl Summer. 🎧 Want to hear the full story behind the song?Tune in to Dina Renée’s full interview on The Savoir Faire Audio Experience , available now.
