The morning before Lollapalooza I was headed into the office and as I was about to get into the turnstyle to give the security guards my daily, "Hey, how's it goin'. Only (x) more days 'til the weekend!" I noticed this tall head of hair moving around in the windows of our morning radio show. Is that? No, it couldn't be....it IS!
The most adorable musician I've seen in a while, Esser, was about to do a live performance and I was pissed that I hadn't known about it earlier. Frantically, I ran upstairs and called everyone I knew to see if I'd be able to hit up the music booth. At the last minute I was told to run down there, and I did with camera in hand and was able to hear the first to last note of my favorite song of the summer, "Headlock".
Esser is back in Chicago on September 11th at The Double Door (which happens to be one of my favorite venues). If you're around, you should definitely check him out, his music style has something for everyone.
