Matt Hattfield - Cement Stars

NoDa's December Gallery Crawl is special for me as I and a few other Charlotte photographers provided the gallery artwork at The Evening Muse. I hope you get the opportunity to drop by The Muse this month and look at the photographs on display - An eclectic collection from five different photographers.

A favorite local singer/songwriter of mine - Matt Hatfield - who had been a member of the Full Grown Band for several years took the stage first. It was good to catch up with Matt and a special treat for us was the arrival of his Full Grown collaborator - Angie Rikard. Matt did convince Angie to join him for a couple of tunes.

Following Matt were a couple of local Charlotte brothers who perform as "Cement Stars". They have a unique, electronically enhanced sound. As a band who are new to me, I found them intriguing as they brought their drums and bass in a box. They also brought a couple of guitars and a metal box looking thing that produced a sound like keyboards when played. I liked their resultant sound - you can check them out on their MySpace page too.

Hope ya'll have a great week and enjoy getting ready for Christmas!!

Cheers,
