Berrett and Harrison + Cara Salimando December 29, 2010

Drawing inspiration from screwing up (a lot), Taylor Berrett has been writing and performing songs for five years. His music can best be described as blues-influenced acoustic folk-pop that floats from sarcasm to sincerity, but he will also take "good" or "bad" as acceptable descriptions, based on individual opinion. In addition to songwriting, Taylor actively pursues guitar playing. His recently-obsessive study of jazz and blues instrumentation occasionally hops over into his songwriting before it is shooed back into its corner. Taylor has shared the stage with groups that include Switchfoot, REO Speedwagon, Derek James, and Shane Hines and the Trance. He loves ping-pong and hates speaking in the third person. I hope you enjoy my music.

Matthew enjoys what he does. And if he doesn't enjoy what he is doing, he doesn't do it. But he enjoys lots of things so that's usually not a problem. One of the things he greatly enjoys is music, music of all sorts, music that makes him want to dance, think, be happy, sad, delectable, undeniable, maniacal, really smiley. He expresses his own music through various percussion instruments (including the drum set, which he started playing around... let's say 6 years ago?? 2003? The international year of freshwater? European disability year?), the piano, and any melodic musical instrument, electric or acoustic, that has keys on it. He and Taylor have started to become obsessed with foosball. The favorite game used to be ping-pong but now it is foosball. It is no longer ping-pong. Just thought I would let you know that. Matthew says: "I hope you enjoy listening."
