"Matt flowed from story to song to stories within songs to spontaneous moments with the crowd with the supreme showmanship and undeniable raw talent of Todd Snider and Robyn Hitchcock. Matt is a modern equivalent to prime Loudon Wainwright III and John Gorka with the tale-spinning gifts of Spalding Gray rolled into a soft spoken, tattoo adorned package…Matt is so good at what he does that nothing feels rote or routine – it's all happening in the minutes we share and one leaves better for the experience."-Jambase, Dennis Cook
