SXSW 2012

Matt Munisteri has spent the last 10 years singing his original songs, while working a pretty dreamy day job as a virtuosic and in-demand guitarist with a wide-ranging roster of notable artists across the jazz and American-roots spectrum. His own music reflects a life-long devotion to the history of American Popular song and it demonstrates a unique synthesis of rural and urban, long-gone and contemporary. While Matt's performances are full of improvisation, swing and risk, the integrity of songs themselves remain the most vital part, and this has resulted in one recent concert attendee declaring "I guess it's jazz - but it's the kind of jazz that people like!"
