Chicago folk-rocker Tom Schraeder understands that when it comes to creating a successful band, size matters. Critical praise is cool, too.

Fresh Cut drops in on Tom Schraeder and his Ego at the beginning of their prestigious month-long residency at Schubas Tavern in Chicago.

The band on Myspace. Listen to some tracks from the album "The Door, The Gutter, The Grave", check out the shows calendar, have an all-round good time.
Digging the Ego. Jim DeRogatis of the Chicago Sun-Times has nothing but love for Tom & Co. The two used to be neighbors. Good thing you lent Jim that flour, Tom!
In Studio. An in-studio performance of "Jennifer," a la Creedence Clearwater Revival.

In today’s Chicago Sun-Times, music critic Jim Derogatis called Tom Schraeder one of “10 new Chicago acts that should be heard from in 2008.”

In his words: “Hardworking, unassuming but wildly ambitious, this 23-year-old singer-songwriter is touring the States with a nine-piece band in support of his first self-released seven-song EP. The group is showing its range during its Monday “Practice Space” residency at Schubas this month, and clearly it’s just warming up.”

We agree, Jim.
