“ ...Matrazzo spent two years in the touring and recording band of blues legend Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. Eventually, like every musician who spends enough time in Atlanta, he fell in with guitarist and bandleader Col. Bruce Hampton. Matrazzo first played with Hampton in the Arkansas Florists (later the Aquarium Rescue Unit), and was a founding member of the Fiji Mariners, with whom he toured between 1994 and '99.
He made a "space funk" album (Dan on the Moon), and cut a jazz/bebop set that was never released, and has performed with the Allman Brothers Band, Drum and Bass Society and Widespread Panic.
...As for his gear .... "I'm an old vintage player," Matrazzo explains. "I don't have enough roadies to carry a B3, but I have a D-series clavinet, which is made in Germany and it's got real guitar strings in it - it's like a guitar, but with keyboards. It feeds back and everything. And I have a 1968 Wurlitzer, which is the choice of electric piano for rock keyboard players."”

Great Show at Buffalo's Hinesville and Next Month or So of Plans!

Our last gig was on the 18th in Hinesville at Buffalo's and we had a great time! Special thanks to The 606 Band who opened for us and played very well- I especially liked the cover of my friend Eric Culberson's most popular song, "Blues is My Religion" and the 606 original spoof song "Let's Go Smoke Some Pot."
The staff at Buffalo's was ultra cool...
