Many of you have very kindly wanted to send us a check in appreciation for CD's, t-shirts, or as a means of expressing your thanks for our website. We sincerely thank you for such a generous gesture. Instead, won't you consider making a donation to Artist2Artist?

Matt "Guitar" Murphy and "Last Call at the 40 Watt Club" release.
"When Matt moved to Miami we started a nationwide search for live recorded shows. Most of the tapes were too poor quality or incomplete. This past winter Pat Biddle contacted Matt with shows he had recorded while on a 12-year stint as soundman at The 40 Watt Club in Athens, GA. The result is a post-Blues Brothers CD that has Matt with all his virtuosity intact in a roadhouse full-tilt performance. The CD release was set for summer 2011 on BMGI. Internet downloads were available on July 4th."
Snagglepuss. From Fetchin' Bones to Sugarsmack, then Sugarsmack to Snagglepuss.
For those of you wondering what happened to David McNair, he's currently a member of Matt Edwards and the Lonely.
And never one to be stagnant (Matt Berndt is Jean's nephew after all), check out the new band in which he is the lead singer! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED, especially you old rockers out there! Show them some love....."like" them on Facebook.
