Attention Matt Schofield Fans (Page 1 of 2)

He's unveiled his signature Two Rock Amp. I'm worried my roomie will want to upgrade.            Cathy

Thank you and Rik Emmet for posting about concert cams.  I caught part of it and it sounded great.
Will see if I can catch some of it tomorrow

thanks Dawg, this is so cool because I am listening at work with my door CLOSED. First set is over and it was great, what a super sound he's getting with the 2 rock. He reminds me a lot of Robben Ford, just really cool jazzy licks all over the place. Gotta go back for the next session now.

well that was tremendous, the guy can really play and he's getting some JB tones in there as well. All at once it reminded me of Elvin Bishop, but better voice, and also of Larry Carlton doing those Steely Dan riffs. When does he hit the states for a tour? Actually it was so good I'm going to watch again tonight.

I don't think I'll be watching again since it's not on, thought those were multiple broadcasts. If anybody knows if they will run it again I'd like to know. Free studio sets are very cool.

Unbelievable ! Matt is coming over the pond for only 3 dates in April, and then will head back to the UK. Oh, but one of them is right here in Birmingham,AL at Workplay on 4/21 and I'll be there. Tickets you ask? How about $12 and no service charge. Can't wait to hear that semi-new rig with the Two Rock. I have not been this excited about seeing an artist since I ran into this Joe Bonamassa guy back in 2006.

I finally get to see him at Wanee in a few weeks and I'm really looking forward to it.

We had the luck to see one of his rare German shows yesterday. Compared to two years ago when I saw him last they are still better which is partly due to the new drummer Kevin Hayes. Great show, nice guys.
Unfortunately they were followed by Rudy Rotta : we gave him 1 1/2 songs before taking flight.

I caught up with Kevin Hayes yesterday @ an Art & Wine festival in Kevin's hometown of Novato, Ca. Had a chance to ask him what's up with Matt. Apparently Matt's getting hooked up with new management and his website is getting a make over as well. Kevin told me they are probably playing the Bay Area in Sept. So get ready for Matt being stateside this fall, can't wait.
