Mortal Fools Play “A Christmas Carol Regifted”

Mortal Fools is a 5-piece rock band that turns literature classics into one-time-only music mashups that land somewhere between Bruce Hornsby, Steely Dan, and The Replacements, and include irreverent narrative that you never got from your English teachers. The Chicago Tribune called it “good old lyric-driven rock,” and the lyrics for this show come from Charles Dickens’ 1843 holiday classic A Christmas Carol. The words will stay unchanged but they’ll find new relevance and meaning in songs played through amps turned up to 11.
