Multi-instrumentalist Matthew Houck is the driving force behind country-folk band Phosphorescent. The band’s most recent album, Here’s to Taking it Easy, is its fifth full-length and third on the Dead Oceans label, and to support it, Houck and company currently are in the midst of a two-month tour that culminates with a number of dates in Europe. Photographer Tammi J. Myers caught the band’s Chicago show at Lincoln Hall.
