Matthew Stubbs plays to serve his songs, rather than using them as a vehicle to show off hot licks. His emotional phrasing leaves space for the band to respond – most guitar players can say the words “less is more,” but few deliver. Matthew’s guitar sings Blues stories over his band’s tight, snappy Memphis R&B featuring 5-time W.C. Handy/Blues award nominee “Sax Gordon” Beadle.
Matthew’s newest record, Soul Bender, is a sensual soundtrack to carefree good times, delivering clever melodies, improvised solos, creative arrangements, and non-stop hip grooves. Recognize echoes of Blues, R&B, and Surf Music, all blended perfectly into the mix. Matthew’s wordless songs evoke your own memories and feelings.
