Matt and I started talking about mandolins and house concerts a couple years ago, about the time his first CD, “Pilgrim” hit the shelves. What I didn’t know at the time is that Matt is a wild guitar player with strong jazz and country blues influences. While his CD covered more traditional territory, his performance included some mean slide guitar and some really terrific originals.The other thing I found out is that Matt is a genuinely nice guy, considerate and unassuming, and a pleasure to converse with. I’m looking forward to a chance to spend a bit more time, and maybe we can squeeze in a slide guitar lesson or two!
