Sean Tillmann's Har Mar Superstar has long retained a rabid fanbase eager to see his on-stage schtick: stripping down to his undies accompanied by retro beats from his MiniDisc player. In the past several years, Har Mar's profile has continued to rise, especially with the support of well-regarded musicians and actors. Now he's pulling a 180 and going the funk and soul route for his best release yet.

Bye Bye 17 is an anthems album of sorts. Tillmann belts each song from his heart with full, lush arrangements emanating in all their lo-fi glory. He's also added horns and a full band to the mix — you end up wondering how long Har Mar Superstar has been stewing on this new direction.

Songs performed: "Lady, You Shot Me," "Everywhere I'm Local" and "Restless Leg"
