Review:

Matt debuted his new work in full at the Marine Club tonight! All songs (minus rewind 10 months - which was left out due to time restrictions) from the forthcoming record were performed in order! Matt gave a stellar performance to the large audience at the Marine Club. The ambiance was fantastic with a large, life-sized poster of Sosandra in the Background, and dolls, props, and jackets used to make the show more interesting! Matt performed Sosandra and Dog spoken away from the piano, as well did a glam rock-big jacket-jam for insecure/immature (also away from the piano). For the encore Matt played a few favourites from Math Class - including As I go Along, which was a beautiful duet with Rose Record! The show was finished with a beautiful cover of Macy Gray's I Try. Supporting act Brad Pedwell was excellent as well performing a solid set with his powerful voice and guitar work!
