Matt Commerce is a Virginia-born singer/songwriter who recorded his debut EP "Closer Than You Realize" in 2008. His style blends acoustic folk/blues music with a tropical twist. His mellow voice and uplifting songs seem to go best with a cold beer and a backyard barbeque.
"With a warm, instantly comfortable singing voice and a nice variety of approaches to his tunes (all of which have the kind of addictive melodies you find yourself humming long after you've listened to his album), it's the sort of release that just grows on you the more you listen to it..." -Jim Trageser, North County Times Entire Article
"Matt Commerce's debut E.P. provided one of the most pleasant aural surprises I've experienced from a local artist in quite some time....Honest in every way, Commerce has delivered a timely record of the purest songwriting with the timeless humor of someone who's not afrad to be himself." -Tim Mudd, San Diego Troubadour
Awesome, your performing at the star theatre that's just down the street form my house. I performed in front of people there for the first time in my life in highs chool on that stage. So glad to see that on your schedule! Good tunes, fan of G-Love?

Well, just do what you think needs to be done. I'm not a music expert, so I don't really know. Just keep on keepin' on, buddy. You'll get it sooner or later.
Hey Matt, Thanks for the request!! There are a few spots in the area. This is a smaller town so most of the spots are bar scenes. Where do you usually play?
