Matthew Ebel at PodCamp Boston 2
What I knew about Matthew Ebel before yesterday was only that CC Chapman would do backflips to hear his music. While I had heard some of Matthew’s music, I didn’t really connect with it — although, Lost My Way (his new a capella song), did catch my attention.
Last night I saw Matthew perform at the Bullfinch Yacht Club as part of the PodCamp Boston 2 entertainment. That’s when I made the connection. Matthew is more than a singer/songwriter; he’s a performer. Seeing him work the crowd and effortlessly bounce and twist his hands in a staccato frenzy while belting out upbeat songs –mostly with his eyes closed– was one-part demoralizing and three-parts exciting.
This Sound Connection is with Matthew Ebel’s live performance talents and his new song, Everybody Needs a Robot. His new CD, Goodbye Planet Earth, will be released later this evening.
