Tom Schraeder’s reputation casts a long and heavy shadow over the singer-songwriter’s music. Sure, netting a spot at Lollapalooza at 23 based only on the tunes on his MySpace page is remarkable; but marketers and rock journalists probably get more hot and bothered about this phenomenon than regular music listeners. Understandably, all the hype has perhaps made Schraeder a bit gun-shy on releasing an honest-to-goodness debut, instead eking out a pair of EPs in 2007 and 2008. The local booze-soaked Americana performer’s latest, Lying Through Dinner, exudes a confidence belying the pressure on him to deliver by casually winding his way through unassuming, adventurous, and earnest songs.
