Bio/Tour:
Matt Vandal is a remarkable guitarist. His solo fingerstyle sound will remind you of Leo Kottke and Chet Atkins, both of whom are clear influences on his style. Other influences include Eric Johnson, Steve Morse, Pat Matheny, and Bireli Lagrene, among many others.

Matt has been playing guitar since the age of seven. I grew up in a VERY musical home. My Dad played in bands while attending college and my Mom is a classically trained pianist. Two of my brothers are guitar players and another brother played bass. My family has always been connected in one way or another to that beautiful sonic universe that is music.

Matt has played as many styles of music as he can get his hands on. He was a member of the Pensacola Guitar Ensemble (a classical guitar quartet), is currently teaching guitar, and gigged extensively in Arizona with the jazz group Vandal Hancock Duo and with his fusion quartet, The Matt Vandal Group. Matt`s teaching repertoire contains classical, jazz, fusion, shred, blues, as well as original compositions. He is also an avid player and teacher of the 8 string extended range
guitar.

Horizon is Matt`s latest release of original music and is a collaboration with drummer Jeff Curnutt. Horizon features Matt`s unique playing style on the 8-string guitar showcased through intricate compositions and inspired improvisation.

Matt Bennett

“Mustache”

. : Additional Artist Info : .

Publishing: Matt Bennett

Publishing Affiliation: BMI

Album Title: Hi Matt

Record Label: Kennesaw

Bio/Tour:
I grew up in Kennesaw, GA and spent most of my life pursuing my passion for baseball. Baseball lead to Birmingham, AL via Samford University and it is here where the real story begins. I have always had a knack for music (I get it from my mother), but it always took a backseat to baseball. When my baseball career ended I came back to country music permanently. The very first show i ever played was in the back of a pickup truck in a field lighted by Christmas lights, shop lights, and a bonfire. It was a huge success, and launched me into the Birmingham music scene along with the help of some great friends and Birmingham music veterans. My shows have taken me all over and became even larger after I began mixing in original music. Growing up listening to the country greats from Georgia like Travis Tritt and Alan Jackson as well as the new Georgia country surge from people like Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, and Zac Brown gives me a unique sound that reflects the new rock country sound while still showing the classic down home honesty that is country music. I have had the honor of playing support shows and opening for some of the biggest names in country music.
