About Me

"Like Burgess Falls in mid July nothing feels quite like the satisfaction of working with a truly creative musician. Having Matthew around live and in studio is time well spent and experience that I wouldn't trade for the world. Matthew is not only an extraordinarily talented bassist, he has contributed drums, percussion, vocals and arrangement ideas to my work. All of which were significant, appropriate and supportive of the work. He is a man of remarkable patience with a desire to acheive the highest of standards."
- Joel Moore, Visitor

"A session player with edge"
- Pino, Wrong Animal

I was going to take just a couple of paragraphs but this is all just too relevant. I would urge you to read it in full. Nothing can change if we remain ignorant to the truth: "the majority of polit...
