Mario Matteoli

After spending six successful years with The Weary Boys, where Matteoli opened up for such greats as Leon Russell, Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson, he decided to go in a different direction and focus exclusively on his solo career. In June of 2006, a 25-year-old Matteoli released “Hard Luck Hittin’,” his debut solo album. The album was well received by fans and critics alike. Some likened the album to the “acoustic solitude of Neil Young or the depressed world spun by Townes Van Zandt,” while others simply described it as “fantastic.” CDs are available at www.mariomatteoli.com, http://cdbaby.com/cd/mariomatteoli or Waterloo Records. Also, the album is now available on iTunes.
