I like every style of music, and most of my influences you'll prolly think don't sound anything like what I sing and your right...Well..Thats because everyday I'll sing a different style...I love rock emo acoustic punk country and even dance. So whether these bands influenced me musically or lyrically they have all shaped how I play in some way. These are all my favorites...But of course i'm gona leave most out...Everything is an influence to me...Five times August, Howie Day, Damien Rice, Taking back Sunday, Starting Line, Making April, Secondhand Serenade, Poison, Dave Matthews, The Used, blink 182, John Cougar Mellencamp, Dashboard Confessional, hawthorne heights, keith urban, rascal flatts, John Waite, Eric Clapton, Incubus, Three doors down, Relient K, Metallica, Goo Goo dolls..

ATTENTION TO ALL MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND LOVED ONES. IF YOU CARE TO KNOW. YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED FOR MY NEXT BIG SHOW.
I AM PLAYING SATURDAY, MARCH 24TH. AT 8:30 PM.
AT THE RIVER CLUB IN JOLIET. $5 COVER, 21 AND OLDER SHOW. 2 FULL SETS. LOCATED AT 724 RAILROAD STREET. JOLIET, ILLINOIS. 60436. IF I CAN GET ALOT OF PEOPLE, IT CAN TURN INTO A REGULAR GIG FOR ME. SO IF YOU CAN POSSIBLY MAKE IT OUT, IT WOULD MEAN ALOT TO ME. ALSO I'VE BEEN TAKING SOME CRITICISM FOR SENDING OUT THESE INVITATIONS AND I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IT IS NOT INTENTED TO BOTHER ANYONE. I APOLOGIZE IF IT DOES. BUT THIS IS MY MEDIUM FOR GETTING MY MUSIC OUT THERE. I AM AN UP AND COMING MUSICIAN AND NEED TO KEEP MY FANS POSTED. SO IF IT BOTHERS YOU, JUST SIMPLY DELETE THE COMMENT. BUT IF YOU SUPPORT ME, AND MY MUSIC, AND CARE ABOUT YOUR FRIEND, THEN IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT I HAVE BEEN RECIEVING. MY MUSIC MEANS SO MUCH MORE TO ME WITH YOU.
OM MANI PEDME HUM,
MATTHEW SEMENIC
