FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Jessie Lawson BBA/MANAGEMENT & BOOKING 512-477-7777 Jessie@bbabooking.com www.mattwilsonband.com MATT WILSON BAND TO CELEBRATE NEW RELEASE AT THE RATTLE INN April 10, 2012 - Austin, TX. The Matt Wilson Band is celebrating their newest release, Volume 2000 - 2010, with a CD Release Party at The Rattle Inn, 610 Nueces Street, on Saturday, May 11th, 2012 at 9 PM. No cover charge. Love Mom Gourmet Lunchbox will be providing munchies because “Mom” loves Matt, his fans, and his music. Volume 2000 - 2010 takes a look back at the recordings that defined the band from 2000-2010. Available now, Volume contains highlight cuts from "Revolving Doors" (2004), produced by Grammy-Award winner Scott Mathews, "Matt Wilson-EP"(2010) and "Press On-EP" (2011). "The band has been singing these tunes at our shows for some time now", Matt reflects. "Before we started an entirely new record, I wanted to remaster our favorites and release them together. We are also celebrating the 1st decade of the Matt Wilson Band, ten years of my company Matt Wilson Entertainment, and ten years with my manager, Michael Mordecai. It just seems to make sense that we look back one more time before we move forward." Matt adds, " It's fun for the band to listen to what we sounded like then and how the writing and sound has changed over the years. That being said...I know, most certainly, that this material will be new to a lot of people, so in many ways Volume is a new release." Currently, the album is available for sale at Waterloo Records, and online at www.mattwilsonband.com. “Matt Wilson is considered one of the hottest young pianists in the country today”, raves The Houston Weekly of his performances as the piano man in the original Broadway touring production of Billy Joel and Twyla Tharp's musical "Movin' Out." Wilson’s high energy, engaging entertainment has its roots in church gospel (his father is a preacher) that spread through his piano playing in the style of Ray Charles - a style of musicianship not often seen these days. He says, "I live for that audience energy and spontaneous interaction. To me that's what the music is all about." For more on Matt and the band visit www.mattwilsonband.com.

Please join him as Matt Wilson Band celebrates the release of Volume 2000 - 2010 at The Rattle Inn on Friday, May 11th at 9 PM.
