About Me

!!!! EDIT BIO !!!!

Bio


Hey folks, I'm Matt Rodela and I love playing my guitar, playing my trumpet and writing songs.
Here on my MySpace page you can have up-to-the-minute access to what's going on in my world-o-music. You can see all my latest pictures there on the left on my Flickr stream. Below that is my Twitter feed, where I tweet about musical stuff that I'm up to. I also post videos and the blog here is linked to my website blog.
While you're here, check out my top friends...they're really cool musical peeps and places that have influenced me or helped me in my musical journey.
Also, I'm working on a CD that I hope will be ready to release this fall. I'm really excited about it and I'm enjoying the recording process immensely. I'm recording and releasing this CD all by myself, which is no easy task. So, if you dig my videos or demo recordings, be my friend and drop a comment here, or on twitter, or on flickr, or on You Tube! I'm so many places and yet I'm really only right here. Weird huh?
Don't forget to hop on over to mattrodela.com and sign up for my mailing list so you can be the first to know about everything I have planned!!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/10/2005
Band Website: www.mattrodela.com
Band Members: I'm mostly a solo operation, but LOVE when I can get some other instrumentalists to sit in and fill out the sound!
Influences: Ben Folds, Cake, Chase, Chet Baker, Chicago, Clifford Brown, Dave Matthews Band, Hoobastank, Incubus, Jamiroquai, Jason Mraz, Jimmy Eat World, John Mayer, Live, Michael Jackson, Miles Davis, Nickel Creek, Nirvana, REM, Roy Hargrove, Stevie Wonder, Written Prisms, Wynton Marsalis.
Sounds Like: If John Mayer (pre Heavier Things), Jason Mraz, old-school Chicago, Acoustic Incubus, and Burt Bacharach had a love child that played trumpet.For the music geek: Laid back music with a pop sensibility, unconventional yet familiar songwriting, a focus on instrumental and vocal melodies over a foundation of rich, rhythmic, and unique chord structures.
Record Label: none
