The Singleman Affair

The Chicago-based artist The Singleman Affair has been the musical folk reverie of Daniel Schneider for over the last two decades. Weaving lonesome troubadour folk ballads alongside chaotic psychedelic out-forms these melodies have been a vehicle to evoke hazy rain-soaked afternoons, melancholic inner thoughts, and expanding colorful dreams. The band has spun various themes over the years, from reverb-drenched mythological hallucinations to drifting acoustic downer folk, and now finds itself mired in surrealism, black and white stills, and multidimensional Kodachrome reels.


For the upcoming record release show, they'll be debuting a full-length video composition to accompany the new material, also called “4pm Sunlight”. Scenes of fading weary sunsets, quiet morning meditations, and a kaleidoscope of color and beauty patch together themes of solace and everyday life. All of these images have been curated by the artist from over a 20-year catalog of 8mm film footage taken on various travels, homelife, friends, and other intimate moments. They've been blended with multi-faceted video collages often displayed as part of his monthly Orpheatric Variety Show.

This performance will be performed with a full band and the album will be played in its entirety.
