Matt Keating

The night following the biggest Presidential election in a generation is probably not the best night for an entertainer to take the stage following an open mic show in an environment that has a heavy democrat base, but Matt Keating did just that at The Evening Muse wednesday. Matt soldiered on to an almost empty house, eloquently performing his unique material both old and new.

Other than hearing a few tunes on his MySpace page, this was my first chance to hear Matt perform. I found his words both entertaining as well as engaging. His guitar playing is positively energizing. His politics - while encouraged by his daughter not to speak from the pulpit - were entertaining and consistent with the views of many. Being the winner is always easier.

I encourage you to go out and have a listen to Matt either in person (support live music!!) or at least on his MySpace page.

Here are a few photos from the show.

Cheers,

Monty
