Gavin Matthews: Now I’m Here

About Me

Hi, how are you? I'm Gavin.

For non-musical interests:

I'm 17, and a senior at Granby High School. Single... I row and swim, and run constantly. I enjoy, truly, walking, talking, whatever. I love music, and have band if you read further down. I'm the kind of person who enjoys wandering off to anywhere I haven't been. I'm the person who's at a random Waffle House (I actually hate them) just for fun. Bring it on: AIM or text me whenever!
AIM - rowandswim

Music Interests:

This is the band of sorts I started last year. I guess it's not really a band, because there are only 1 member(s). Okay. Well, I sing and play guitar. Mostly songs that are acoustical in nature. Enjoy! The band was originally called Synchronicity, but Gavin Matthews is better.

Band Members: Gavin - Everything you hear

Fishtank - Ambient hum
Influences:
Unconciously Best Friends For Never and Mariel influenced me to start recording stuff. My other influences are the Meat Puppets and Dinosaur Jr., along with Daniel Johnston and David Bowie. One man, Sondre Lerche, once again turned my musical direction around. Look him up if you want to hear what music is and can be. Wilco! Amazing influence. Jeff Tweedy makes the music that makes my music. Thelonious Monk is classic, and never out of style. Why not add in John Mayer, and Jack Johnson, or any other great singer and/or songwriter. It's all good! Chad Sugg and Backseat Goodbye are great as well! Also, some great ambient groups, like Eluvium, Millenia Nova, A Forest Mighty Black, and the great Brian Eno.


Now, I must mention people who have helped me so much to progress my music. The first is Andramada Sanchez, who is always there to help in any way. Next are Afton Reed, Robert Shropshire, and Jyosh Fleenor, who listen to my constant barrage of song clips or "can you judge this" things. Finally, all my friends who have made sure I have a fan base and a place to connect to. Thank you all!

Sounds Like: Hopefully, a Spring day, a Summer rain, a Fall walk, and a cold day of Winter. All the things I love rolled into one. Nothing I write or sing is insincere. Read between the lines, and you'll understand a bit about me! There's beauty in that which is the simplest, and that's what I hope to capture.
