Matt Cooper

About Me

Matt writes songs and plays them on his own and with others.

People have been kind enough to say these words...

“Sweet Melodies, quirky and witty songwriting and a love of American lo-fi. His act combines big Weezer style melodies with his own pared-down but still very English style: he obviously loves tunes created in American trailer parks, but doesn’t for a second pretend he was born in one”

"Matt rocks a strong chorus and some very catchy sounds.. Can transform from a solo acoustic troubadour to a full happening rock band at the drop of a capo".

"Brighton’s very own Bob Mould with bells on..."

"Perfect heartfelt acoustic folk/pop"
