Summary: The first time you see Matt Townsend live you are impressed with his good looks and charming, well bred manner. He, and his band when they are backing him, appear organized and also good looking as they efficiently go about the business of setting up and prepping for the show. It's a feeling of assurance that these are pros who will deliver an enjoyable show. Then they're into the first song and you're totally unprepared to be mesmerized by the music - every beat, tone and word delivered straight into you. It's hard to grasp how this cat who looks so young can tell stories of your own longings, pains, and desires. There is a soulful depth and a modern verve. Townsend's Folk-Rock-Americana music is a gift for the ears and soul. The Vermont native moved to Asheville, North Carolina, a few years ago and formed his band The Wonder Of The World. In the last two years his career has been on an upward trajectory and he is indeed poised to break out into the larger arenas. Join me on this show and meet Matt Townsend. We'll be playing his music, but take Madame Perry's advide and get it now.
