Matt Shwachman
We are all searching for something.
For Matt Shwachman, it is a search for melody, for motion, and for fulfillment of the mind. This search has forged an acoustic guitar driven-blend of pop/rock with lyrics that often tackle difficult philosophical questions.
Matt’s music style could be compared to a blend of Dave Matthews, John Mayer, U2, Coldplay and Tom Petty. Skope Magazine states that Matt’s music, “would impress fans of artists such as John Mayer, Tom Petty and Jason Mraz.”
Although his artistic vision and style took years to take shape, Matt would taste success with his very first finished song. Although written years earlier, “Side of the Road” recently touched listeners across the country when it earned a spot on the hit TV series, One Tree Hill.
Matt’s new album, entitled Uncharted Territory, “is a journey about the process, not the end result,” Matt says. “We are all ever-evolving, changing and growing people. It is this growth process that brings fulfillment, and in order to attain any sense of it, it must be earned.”
Indeed, Matt’s efforts have been earning him some attention as of late. College Radio and several TV appearances seem to have industry people taking notice, as Matt has had his music played on over 125 college radio stations. CMJ recently stated, “Acoustic-wielding, Boston-Based singer songwriter Matt Shwachman will be giving established heart-melters like One Republic and Five For Fighting a run for their money when he performs a brief handful of East Coast dates this month and makes an appearance on the tri-state area’s The Tim Qualls Show.”
Radio is not the only place Matt has been earning his keep. Matt recently recruited guitarist Mike Fiore, bassist Hugh Allen, and drummer Dana Bonardi to form the Matt Shwachman Band (MSB). Matt and company have played many of New England’s top club venues including The Hard Rock Café Boston, which recent show drew over 300 fans. Other notable venues include, T.T. the Bear’s Place (MA), Harpers Ferry (MA), Sullivan Hall (NYC), Arlene’s Grocery (NYC), Doc Watson’s (PA), and the Grog & Tankard (D.C.) to name a few. Next up, in addition to the normal club calendar, MSB will be doing a residency gig this fall, playing every Friday night at Worcester, MA hot spot Club Fusion.
