Don’t let the plain-jane name fool you. Matthew E. White—who hails from Richmond, VA and is a stand-out champion of the American tradition—packs an exciting aural punch with a distinctly warm, groovy singing voice that steers a seriously eclectic, harmonious menage of funky soul, gospel, rock, and blues sounds. (Dude, there’s strings, horns, a backing choir and everything).
White’s forthcoming debut entitled Big Inner (teaser above) will be released August 21 on Spacebomb and will include the two tracks featured here: Big Love and One of These Days, featuring Phil Cook of Megafaun on piano.
