Sounds Like
Matt has been told he sounds like, Daniel Johnston, Jonathan Richman and Bob Dylan, mostly by peole who don't really listen to Bob Dylan.
One time when he was 17 and singing a Beck song, his future brother-in-law told him he sounded like Captain Beefheart.
Matt would like to think he writes good lyrics that tell stories, plays acceptable guitar and exceptional harmonica.
Sometimes he wishes he could sing a little better. But people wish for a lot of things.

Thanks for the kind comment. Sorry for the delay, but I've been putting the final touches on the debut record. It's up now on itunes and amazon (amiestreet, rhapsody, etc.) There are 2 sides: Sink and Fall. "Sink" is more pop and electronic; "Fall" is more punk and country. We appreciate all your support. Have a happy MWU year

(ñ) En este número, fotógrafos, filósofos, artistas plásticos, diseñadores, músicos y escritores, desde diversas ciudades del mundo, indagan y cuestionan la dialéctica medio-individuo.
El adentro, el afuera, o el adentrofuera. - ¿cuáles son las nuevas ‘definiciones’ que serían necesarias para poder articular códigos y vías de comunicación válidas en un tiempo en el que los ríos fluyen vigorosos de puro ruido? - ¿libertad y comunicación son valores que se anulan mutuamente? - ¿cómo evitar entrar al juego? / ¿o cómo salir? / ¿o a dónde salir? / ¿para volver a entrar? - ¿dónde queda el outside?
