June's Acoustic Surprise - June 3, 2009

Though it’s a couple of days late, I have finally posted June’s Acoustic Surprise:

http://thematthewshow.com/music.html

In 2005, I did a show at the Conklin Barn in Long Island (which I wrote about here). At that show, I discovered an incredibly talented individual named John-Flor Sisante, whose career I have followed with great interest since then. Though his first album came out about the time my first record did, he hasn’t yet released a follow-up (owing most likely to his pursuit of a graduate degree). He has, however, regularly posted new tracks to his MySpace page, which have blown me away.

One of those tracks is the one I have just covered for this month’s Acoustic Surprise, entitled Midnight. It does what John-Flor accomplishes so well, making sophisticated things out of simple ones.

As usual, the Acoustic Surprise is only available for one month, after which its digital ash is tossed into a digital urn. Or as Mr. Popeil might say, download now while supplies last...
