5/06 Matthew's debut CD, Signal is available now! Go to the Store page to hear samples.

Signal was recorded between November 2005 and March 2006 in Minneapolis, MN. Produced by Dan Schwartz and mixed by Tim Snow, this record was a joy to make.

"This record is full of music. Matt is an excellent guitar player, and you can definitely hear that on this recording, but his melodies come first, which makes me want to listen to this record over and over." -Dan Schwartz, Producer
