The Matt Robinson Band is a folk rockin/ roots rock group based out of Chicago, IL. Their live shows are known for their dance-friendly good times vibe and have also been known to stretch their songs out and jam. They are an ambitious young group dedicated to the art of original music.
"EVERYBODY DREAMS UNDER BIG TREES" 2008The reason I chose the title "Everybody Dreams Under Big Trees" for the album title is because I like the whimsical and dreamy imagery it creates. It's actually a line from the chorus of one of my songs on the album, and I thought how much better to bring attention to it by making it the album title. To help create this whimsical and dreamy feeling, I collaborated with producer and engineer, Tony Sanfilippo of Oxide Lounge Recording in Bloomington, IL. The result is a cohesive and flowing album that accurately portrays where I currently am as an artist and person. It was a joy to make, and I hope you enjoy it as well! be well, matt

MEDIA PRESS RELEASES:
REVUE MAGAZINE
"...Robinson's eclectic influences of Bob Marley, Phish and Neil Young speak for his music...What makes Everybody Dreams... unique is Robinson's progression from blues, to folk, to country. Each song is tweaked ever so subtly that the listener doesn't realize the musical transition... Check out the uppity "Spinach and Green Tea," the rockin' "Papa Man" and the twangy "Sad song Honey" for some serious musical fusion."
FEARLESS RADIO
"..Fearless fans, SouthSide had fun with her first taste of country music by Matt Robison and the band. There were also moments when the band added funky bass guitar rhythms to energize their country style. One song even had a hint of Latin flavor during the guitar riffs. While SouthSide normally may not have engaged in the country western scene, after hearing this performance she cannot wait to see Matt Robinson's show. For more information about Matt Robinson, visit them at www.myspace.com/mattyrobinsonmusic or www.mattrobinsonmusic.com..." - Fearless Radio, http://www.fearlessradio.com/
