Return to Forever
Matone(pronounced MAY-TONE) is a Charlotte based band formed over 10 years ago by Kyle Donaghy and David Palmer. Still staying true to constant musical evolution, Matone continues to provide the area with solid rock-n-roll exploration, with an emphasis on taking songs where they have never been. Never wanting to be pigeon holed as a jam-band; Matone delves into classic rock, jazz, fusion, funk, and other genres. Matone is ever-evolving and dives into new musical places with every gig. No two shows are ever the same, and the crowd always leaves with a new founded appreciation of their music.
With musical styles ranging from Coltrane to Tool or Elvis to Zappa; Matone provides everyone with a little something they're familiar with and leaves them with a little something new. Matone has entertained the greater Charlotte area for over ten years, playing countless shows, charity benefits, etc. and has even opened for national recording artist moe. Check them out when you get a chance. You won't be disappointed.
