31 Jul POSTCARDS FROM MUSCLE SHOALS…

Influenced by music from the Southern USA, ‘Postcards from Muscle Shoals’ explores themes and textures, rooted in the South. Feelgood grooves that walk the walk.
Starting his career as a guitarist, Matthew moved through many fields from the Alex Harvey Band in the late 70s, a regular on the London session scene in the 80s, to production and writing library music for the past 30 years. More recently, he has undertaken productions based in the UK, USA and Australia.
Inspired by a visit to Muscle Shoals en route to Memphis, the idea of recording an album there, having been heavily influenced by a lot of music from that part of the country, felt like a natural road to go down.
Some months later, Matthew wrote these tracks in the UK, took them to Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, where an amazing group of musicians played and recorded them, producing a great blend of tracks, basted in Southern goodness.
