Hey... just another reminder that Matt Sever is playing the
Bean Bag Cafe in Corvallis on Thursday, August 20th at 8pm.

We didn't land a Eugene gig... so this is it, unless you want to
travel to Portland for his NXNW show at the Tugboat Brewpub?

Also... we got reviewed in the  Austin Chronicle . . .
                                                           so I thought I'd
post it here.


Matt the Electrician
Baseball Song (ChezDre)

If Matt Sever ran the world, baseball would still be the national sport; the
home team would really be the home team, and the players would autograph balls
for free and with a smile.  And Sam Walton would have been lynched long ago by
a mob of mom and pop store owners - also with a smile.  There's almost nothing
on Baseball Song that isn't unflinchingly optimistic.  On "I Remember," Sever
even admits that "silver linings pile up on me."  They'll pile up on you as
well when listening to this album, set atop a dominantly acoustic, though more
poppy than folky, cloud of simple tunefulness.  Sever proudly and clearly tells
how he likes everything from "Food" (makes him "higher than any new drug"), to
"Scars" ("I like scars, I wanna remember"), with the only bad word in his
vocabulary being "Goodbye".  It it's obtuseness and angst you're looking for,
go elsewhere.  If you like your music positive and heartfelt, then you've been
waiting for the electrician.

And remember... if you like Matt's stuff... he's been added to the KBVR folk
show box, as well as to KRVM, KLCC and KBOO.  So call and request him, darnit!
