About Me
You don't need an old record to recapture the spirit of great music. You can hear the reverberations of the past, and the sound of the future in one group... Matthew D and Random Tuesday. Breaking down the
barriers of the blues while churning up a style and sound of their own, they create a solid mixture of
rocking original music with innovative cover material. MD&RT is a versatile group lighting up the mid-west since May of 2003.The band relased their all original debut album, NOTES FROM THE EDGE, (produced, recorded, and written by Matt) is a passion filled, radio friendly, no holds barred production. From the beginning hook of the first track, Aint Man Enough; to the heart felt, country inspired Here Come Those Tears, to the jazz flavored, Shadows Of Love, to the final track, there is something here for every one. This release will likely be followed by more reviews comparing the singer/songwriter to "John Mayer with the soul of Stevie Ray Vaughan. With songs of love, loss and whatever strikes him at the moment. Always compelling, confounding, creative. Unparalleled, unforgettable, inappropriate, impossible. brilliant. Its where the music hits the road.The band is young, energetic, and on the verge of a break though. The air tight rhythm section of Eugene Smiley (Brody Buster, Vernon Garrett) on 9 string bass and vocals, and Chris Lee on drums, make the band a force of reckoning. Originally starting out as a cover project, the band has started building momentum as an original act over the past year, With the June 2006 release of their debut album, "NOTES FROM THE EDGE", the band has started to reap the benefits of hard work and persistence. It has been recognized for its raw, straightforward blues / pop sound and unbelievably strong vocals. But don't let the strength of the disc fool you. Random Tuesday is a well-oiled, in-your-face, live band. With their energetic stage show, powerful vocals, and melodic guitar work, they will get your attention and keep it. In 2006 they began touring the world with Armed Forces Entertainment, bringing the best of America to the much deserving troops in Thule Greenland, Puerto Rico, Getmo, Cuba, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
