Matt Marshak August 18th, 2007
 For those of you who missed Matt Marshak at the Redstone. May I be the first to console you!

These four gentlemen perform like artists at the top of their careers. Of course Matt played songs from his CD's such as New York Ave (my personal favorite) and other jazz artists' songs… However Matt deviated from the norm with songs by artists such as Eric Clapton and Prince.

The entire band's personalities (on and off stage) were some of the most fun and refreshing we have seen so far! Matt is an extremely interactive artist, he sports his wireless device, hops off the stage working his way through the crowd showing off his athletic playing style. While playing the faster paced songs his hand movements were literally a blur and were fluid as though he was playing on air. I'd like to add Matt is the most gracious and polite person I have ever had the honor to meet. Kenny the bass player continuously wins you over with his classic style and smile throughout the concert. Off stage he is such a genuine and sincere person it would bring you to tears. Rodney the keyboardist has a natural technical ability to make the keyboard sound like whatever instrument he chooses. Carl the drummer of the group maybe "the class clown" off stage, but once on stage this man gets down to business and makes mouths drop with his unique cris cross "Matrix" like moves. One drum solo easily lasted a full five intense minutes leaving the audience cheering for more.

A word of warning: This band will reach out to you, and pull you into their world of warmth and soothing sounds….leaving you addicted for life.

Matt come back! We miss you already!
