Dec. 26th: The Day after Christmas

Thursday's show went GREAT! A lot of friends and family and plenty of time to play my music. Justin, Logan and I played for about 2 hours and I was completely happy with how everything ended up! I was able to play a lot of new songs that I have never played before. We started with a song we've never played in public, "Tough Like Denim" and we threw in some covers like "Luckenbach, TX" and ended with some more originals, a remix of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and finally, Rebecca Black's "Friday" as a joke.
I feel like major progress was made at the show and we are still on our way moving up the ladder of success. BIG things are in store for 2012! Can't wait for what's in store. -MattMarinchick

Back in O-H-I-O

It's good to be home! I love being able to go back to where I grew up and see all the familiar place I used to hang out. I got home last night at 11pm and this morning I already went to buy my gym pass while I'm home and then I stopped by the local music store to say hey and get some guitar picks and strings. I'm headed to a Christmas Dinner tonight then out with some buddies from college that live nearby.
Tomorrow night I'm headed to the Ohio State Basketball. I'd like to see as many as I can while I'm home but we'll see if I can allow myself any more moments to head to Columbus. Ohio State plays Lamar College tomorrow.... I'm guessing a "W" for the Bucks.
Wednesday is going to be a lot of rehearsing by myself. My band wont make it up until Thursday afternoon so they are rehearsing on their own too.
Dec. 22nd marks my first show at The Vortex. I've never played there and I'm really excited to see the place. It sounds like there will be some great opening acts and I know that me and my guys are gonna ROCK! I hope everyone can make it to the show. If you're reading this and can attend. Vortex is on Brittain Road in Akron and the show starts at 8pm. Tickets are $5 through me or $8 at the door.

Aaron Goodvin. Listen to his music.

At this very moment:
I'm sitting in Edgehill Cafe waiting to head over to Blackbird Studio. From what I know, this is the BEST studio in Nashville! Im headed over to get some footage of my buddy Aaron Goodvin at his listening party for his new album that will come out in the beginning of 2012. If you havent heard his music, GO DO IT! Its life-changing. I'm also gonna interview his producer, Eddie Gore and his promoter, Erica Scherle. This is all going to be put towards a promotional YouTube video to get people to know Aaron and his music better! Im really excited to be a part of this!
Recently:
Ive been hitting the songwriting really hard. Ive had some great songs with Kenneth Duncan and Greg Johnson and I've really been getting super pumped to get all of this together for my show Dec. 22nd in Akron at the Vortex Lounge. Should be an amazing event. I'm also in the process of booking shows at Mamas Country here in Tennessee and at the Ohio Beef Expo at the Ohio Fairgrounds!
Last night I was so impressed by two unbelievable artists. Chris Tapp of the Cold Stares (GO LISTEN TO HIM NOW!!!!) and Eric Sommer (An incredible blues guitar player). My favorite musical night of the month was last night! I was so glad I got to hear both of them at the Renegade Junction. Crystal Hoyt has been doing an amazing job of bringing super talented artists to these showcases and I'm excited to see this thing continue to grow!

P.S. - Sorry it took so long for me to write an entry. I wont let it happen again.
Love, Matt Marinchick
