During the spring of 2016, Whatismu was back in the studio crafting new material. Recording their second CD release at Garden Apartment Studio in Chicago with producer/engineer John Esposito, ‘Mara’ was released September of 2016.
In 2018 Whatismu took a break from writing and performing, adding drummer Jeff Fite, bassist Art Scheer and percussionist Mike Orfanos. Changing their name to the Lorrie Kountz Band, they performed Classic Rock, Progressive Rock and originals gaining major attention in the Chicago music scene. August of 2019, LKB began morphing back into Whatismu, as the members began collaborating on new originals. Their third CD ‘Into Frenzy’ was released April of 2020.
In 2020 and early 2021, Whatismu spent time performing at Chicagoland venues, and continued to write new material. Guitarist Eric Gulbransen also teamed up with Lorrie Kountz, Jeff Fite and Art Scheer and continued writing new music. In April of 2022 Whatismu will release their 4th CD entitled ‘Beautiful Chaos’.
“As the music evolves, expands, contracts, and doesn’t let go, you will no doubt enjoy the experience”.
