WAMplified!: Har Mar Superstar at Weisman Art Museum
Sean Tillman keeps one foot in rock via Sean Na Na (which released Family Trees Or: Cope We Must in 2007), but the Minnesota-born singer has carved out an unlikely niche in the world of pop R&B as Har Mar Superstar. The shtick—pudgy dude strips to his underwear to perform slinky, sexy, Prince-esque tunes—is so blatant it seems like it'd become tiresome quickly, but Har Mar pushes past novelty shock value with outrageous exuberance, tongue-in-cheek humor, and—his real secret weapon—genuine songwriting chops. All of this makes him the perfect musician for the latest installment of the Weisman’s late-night series: The companion exhibition, Common Sense, examines the fine line between ordinary and extraordinary.
