I met Matt about seven years ago when he opened for Marty Willson-Piper of
The Church at Cafe North Star in Philly. Immensely personable guy. Could
play the hell out of a 12-string guitar. The songs were really quite good.
Oddly, I liked them more when he did them solo than on record. There was
more energy and vitality to 'em. The studio versions had kind of drained the
life from some of the tunes.
We also went to rival New England boarding schools, graduated within a year
or two of each other, and had a bunch of people in common.
