Amazing

Sometimes when we least expect it, we find something amazing in the most mundane locations. I had that pleasure going to see a friend on mine play with his friend at a small bar on downtown Tolono, IL.

I had heard Matt play before and knew he was good - but had no idea just how good he really was. Matt and his band mate go by the name of Big Red Skillet.



Here is the deal - for those of you that know me, you know my opinion of country music. I respect the artists that are out there, but certainly do not have any country music stations programmed into my car stereo. That being said - Big Red Skillet may make a country music disciple out of me yet.

Mark Millsap - fantastic on the guitar. He plays with feeling. You can hear the heart with every note. And it was a pleasure to hear you play and put the hammer down on the lead breaks. One of the few guitarists out there that allow their lead playing to enhance the song, not try and steal it. Even when playing covers, this is a very important aspect that most live acts miss out on.

Matt Bundy - where can I start. You play with passion and honesty. Those characteristics are so relevant to playing live. It draws the people to you and allows you to command the stage. Your charisma and singing ability are truly inspiring and incredibly impressive. I was so amazed at your singing talent. For those that have not heard you sing, they need to do so. Immediately. Keep on going, I cant wait to hear you sing again. I was stunned and literally thought I was at a professional show with some huge rock/country star.

It will not be long until you two shake the dust of this area from your feet and move on. You certainly have the ability to do so.

Looking forward to the next gig. You have made a believer out of me.
