Matt Shwachman Band Earns New Success

Matt Shwachman and his band a.k.a. (MSB) produce an acoustic guitar driven-blend of original pop and rock. With Hugh Allen on bass, Mike Fiore on lead guitar and Dana Bonardi on percussion, MSB prides itself on being a very hard working band, playing hundreds of shows at arenas, festivals, universities and top club venues in the Northeast.
Matt’s songs have been featured on various TV shows. “Side of the Road” earned aspot on the hit TV series, “One Tree Hill,” while the emo-driven ballad “Wait for Me (Hold On),” recently closed out the final dramatic scene of the season of MTV’s Real World Cancun. His music is also doing well at college radio, with airplay on over 200stations. Skope Magazine states Matt “would impress fans of artists such as John Mayer, Tom Petty and Jason Mraz” and CMJ predicts, “Acoustic-wielding, Boston-Based singer songwriter Matt Shwachman will be giving … Five For Fighting a run for their money.”
His most recent album is “Uncharted Territory” and MSB is currently in therecording studio working on their new CD due out in early 2010. Matt waxes philosophic about his recent successes as a “growth process that brings fulfillment, and in order to attain any sense of it, it must be earned.” Catch the Matt Shwachman Band performing this month in the city of Worcester: Saturday the 2nd at Galway Bay Irish Pub, Saturday the 9th at Boston Billiards, or Friday the 29th at Sakura Tokyo.
