"Bear All: Four Sensuous Men Singing Steamy Sweaty Songs!" will take place at Touche, 6412 N. Clark St., on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 10 p.m.
JC Brooks, Mike Grimes, Anthony Whitaker and Scott Free are slated to perform. Bryan Dowling will host.
The musicians will showcase contrasting styles. Brooks is known for everything from R&B ballads to dance-punk; Grimes' work "is a blend of American roots and acoustic ska music"; Whitaker co-founded the New American Folk Theater; and Free classifies his music as "sometimes humorous, sometimes angry, always touching songs of queer life," according to a release.
