Brooklyn's own Matt Sherwin has long distinguished himself with his unique brand of smart, ironic, and literate acoustic pop. Recalling the tight and witty songcraft of artists such as Elvis Costello, Paul Westerberg, and Nellie McKay, Matt draws on his influences to create a style uniquely modern, unmistakably his own. His work has been called "poignant and humorous" (Billboard) as well as "remarkable...fresh an intriguing" (Songwriters Resource Network). A seasoned performer, Matt plays both solo and with an ace backing band featuring veteran players from the NYC scene. Catch the band live Monday, August 6th to hear songs from Matt’s debut album ‘Cold Reader,’ as well as selections from the upcoming release ’12:30 Songs.'
