Matt Bolton is an often imitated but never duplicated modern day one-man-band show using live-on-the-spot created loops and technology with a contemporary pop, classic rock, roots-rock vibe and feel. Often with hints of retro electronic, rock, reggae, and funk, he combines guitar, drums, bass sounds, keyboards, synth, harmonica, mic and live vocal sounds to create a full band sound and feel that gets crowds of all sizes up and dancing. Matt picks from a seemingly endless collection of covers and originals to create an unforgettable live performance in which his ingenuity in looping magically reproduces the feel and energy of a complete band with no pre-recorded tracks. Having played in touring bands with some legendary musicians including Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Todd Rundgren, Bill Kreutzmann (Grateful Dead). Matt tours extensively (250 shows a year) all around the country with weekly residency gigs all over California. ALL SHOWS LIVE STREAMED!
He has a Loop station most likely a Boss product. The Drum machine, keyboard and Guitar are all connected to this advice. You have to develop your process of downloading that's it!
He creates the sounds it’s the same as creating sounds and turning it into a midifile. It’s not rocket science, of course you have to have the ability to do this by playing either guitar or piano and understanding the music as to how it’s played.
Forget the negative comments. As we say here, in Spain, envy is very bad. I'm learning a lot with every of your shows and you are a really big and great musician. That's the origin of negative comments: Envy, Matt, envy.😉😉
Adorei Matt. Acompanho todas as suas lives. Incrível suas habilidades para multi instrumentos e a precisão para utilizar a técnica do loop musical. Parabéns e um abraço aqui do sul do Brasil.
