In this episode of Hub City Now with Tyrone Tony Reed Jr., the host interviews Alison Brown and Eben Hewitt, the husband and wife dynamic duo behind the genre-blending Chicago band Two Whatevers.
As first-time guests, Alison and Eben—aka Thing 1 and Thing 2—gave listeners an inside look at their captivating mix of folk, funk, pop, punk, shoegaze, and rock, and shared what drives their eclectic sound and "Correct Info" philosophy. Alison, with her PhD in Philosophy, four books, and Pushcart-nominated fiction, infuses the band’s music with life experience and intellect, bringing All The Vibes to every performance.
Eben, a guest lecturer at Harvard and CIO of a major global firm, adds an innovative edge with his multi-disciplinary talents in art and technology. Together, they create a sound that’s more than music—it’s a movement inviting audiences to reflect on modern life with philosophical grooves and the humor of “Maximum Aura Points.”
Listeners got to hear about their latest single, “2 Whenevers,” a philosophical and funky journey that captures the duo's unique vibe. As Two Whatevers shared on the show, they aren’t just here to play music—they’re on a mission to make people think about life's choices, like their toothpaste, with a smile and a groove. Stay tuned for their next releases, as Two Whatevers continue to challenge conventions and bring a fresh state of mind to the music scene.
