Matt Spinks

Bio:

So it's time to change this...again. Now I live in Denver, CO where I'm trying to take over the local music scene. I've played in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Oregon, Nebraska, and Colorado. I'm not afraid to travel for the right situation. Actually I enjoy it. My gear is all top quality in terms of both tone and reliability, I play all genres of music (thought I'm partial to country and blues), and as a person I'm very diligent, helpful, and reliable in working situations. Actually I think a good work to describe my work ethic at a gig is "relentless." -Classically Trained Pianist -Accomplished drummer, pianist, and guitarist. -Pro Gear : Heavily customized vintage fender amps and guitars -Receiver of the highest marks possible in the Pianists guild of Columbus, GA. -Mentored by Stanley Clark, Dean of Columbus State University's music program. -Recipient of "Most Talented" award from Rome Music School in Rome, GA. (Yep, this is one of those awards that just makes everyone else feel like crap.) -Well traveled stage experience (200 gigs a year and wanting more, MOOORE) -Studio experience -Sound Technician experience (setting up, tearing down, running sound, etc.) Okay, I'm not quite sure what else to put down, suffice to say that I'm a fiercely motivated player as well as a student, first and foremost. I really love to play the blues, but at the same time I'm very aware of the trap that a lot of blues players fall into, so I'm always on the look out for new styles to tackle. I'm classically trained on the piano, so those chordal influences find their way into alot of my compositions. Think harmonic minor. When I play live, I believe the audience deserves nothing but dedication from me, so I give em everything I've got, and I really let go while I'm up there playing. Anyhow, thanks for checking out my sight, and rock on. chicken pickin country/awesome hangover
