Welcome
to my website; BassFace67.com
2011 certainly hasnt slowed down musically or otherwise.
I am pleased to continue to my long-standing relationships with
the members of St. Jamess Gate and Bahttsi. In fact, Bahttsi
again recorded in Welches which will be slowly mixed down and
released over this year. In addition to that, I have had the pleasure
of performing recently with Eric Stern (Vagabond Opera), Hanz
Araki, Kathryn Claire and others. I am very happy to be working
on and recording an original project with Jeremy Wilson (Dharma
Bums, Pilot) and Dylan Thomas Vance. Our first performance will
be in June. Another fun new group exploring jazz and popular music
is the Myelin Ensemble. This trio includes vibraphonist Dennis
Elmer, Donny Wright on guitar, and myself. Also, Cronin Tierney
has been presenting more and more of his groovy original tunes,
which I have had the pleasure of playing. All good and creative
stuff! Visit my calendar page for information on a number of fun
summer shows and my usual haunts. A special thank you to Kara
and the County Cork Public House for hosting the Acoustic Wednesday
Series, and the friends that have supported that venture that
has allowed for so many musical explorations. Support Live Music
and musicians. I hope to see you out. More show updates, sound
bites and pictures will be posted soon on the site (I promise).
All the Best - Matthew
