Owatonna, Minn. isn't nationally recognized for a lot of things, but it can be proud of its most famous native son - Sean Tillman, a.k.a. Har Mar Superstar. After stints in the noise band Calvin Krime and his own Sean Na Na project, Har Mar's exploration of R&B and raw sexuality has found him international fame.

Recent opening slots for Incubus, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Strokes have catapulted Har Mar into the national spotlight, and he recently performed on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon." He's back in the Twin Cities for a hometown gig.

He stopped in The Current studios to deliver a very smooth live performance.

Songs performed: "Sunshine," "Turn It Around" and "Tall Boy."
