A tightly paced mix of short-form rock, improv, and stand-up built for real schedules, real attention spans, and everything waiting for you the next morning
"The show moves fast because life moves fast," Hutton said. "You get songs, comedy, and a full night out, and you can still be home by 10. That feels like a win across the board."
Hutton performs with her band, Gerald Dowd (Eddie Vedder, Robbie Fulks, "Late Night with Seth Meyers"), Liam Davis (four-time Grammy nominee; Justin Roberts; Frisbie), and Leslie Beukelman (Leslie Beukelman Quartet; The O Yeahs; Miss Remember). Each song sparks live improv scenes from some of Chicago’s top performers, while comedians Eunji Kim (has opened for Fortune Feimster and Dave Attell; Steppenwolf Theater; NBC, Showtime, Hulu) and Kristen Toomey (Just for Laughs; Peacock; has performed with Chris Redd, Bert Kreischer, and Nate Bargatze) round out the lineup.
The format reflects the pace of Hutton’s music. Her solo debut record, "Soccer Trophy," runs eight songs in 18 minutes. The songs are fast, direct, and rooted in daily life, covering everything from kids and marriage to rage, exhaustion, and the strange humor of getting older.
Hutton performs original songs from "Soccer Trophy," including "Shut Up," "Because I Said So," and "Put Your Cell Phones Down," a fast, direct set built on the humor and reality of everyday life. The track "Dog," written about her family’s dog Lucy, leans into that voice. Hutton jokes that Lucy is her one true love.
"I spent years putting music on hold while raising my kids, and when I came back to it, I didn’t want to pretend I was still 22," Hutton said. "These songs are about the life I’m actually living now. It’s loud, it’s messy, and it’s funny whether you want it to be or not."
Hutton recorded the album in her Chicago home studio, working with Grammy-nominated producer Liam Davis. A Berklee College of Music graduate, she stepped away from music for years to raise her family before returning with a new perspective and a sharper voice.
Her latest single, "Car Seat Hot Sun," released in April, explores hot flashes, frustration, and the realities of midlife and has received airplay on iHeartRadio. She has also released "The Housewives," a song that takes on the absurdity of reality television, along with the pointed track "I Said It First You’re a Cvnt."
The MomCore Show has sold out performances at The Annoyance Theatre and Fitzgerald’s Nightclub. The Hideout performance marks the next step in its growth as a live format that connects with audiences looking for something familiar, funny, and honest.
