Due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus, many of my dear friends have had shows, tours, and project cancelled. This is a huge hit to those who depend on this work for a living. To this end, I'll be highlighting many of my friends over the coming months, and if you like what you hear, I urge you to buy their music, contribute to their projects, and take online lessons from them (links below)! Thank you for supporting our musical community! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Calling Portland, Maine his home, Matt has been performing for many years throughout the United States and Canada.
