Description
Matt Heinecke is good.
Not that his sweet James Taylor if-he-hadnt-been-through-rehab voice or his ability to occasionally whip up a Dianne Warren 30-minutes-or-its-free melody hurts his cause, but Matt ignored the vices of acting the child prodigy, preferring to work diligently on his talent whether during after school lessons as an eight-year-old boy through to the more proper schoolings of the Coronado School of the Arts, and eventually on to the prestigious University of Southern California Studio Guitar Department - the kind of regiment youd expect from the son of a Navy man.
As a youth, Matt showed an interest in jazz (which still appears in his songs today) playing in national all-star jazz bands based near his hometown of Coronado, CA, such as the Jazz Artists Guild and the San Diego Youth Jazz Band. However, his biggest stylistic change wouldnt come until he was studying as a session guitarist at USC.
As a freshman, Heinecke elected to fill out his schedule with a two-unit songwriting class, and quickly realized playing Paul Simon covers in coffee shops, as he had since fourteen, might please a sedated audience but wouldnt get him squat with the bigwigs in Hollywood and Nashville. Though teaching songwriting might seem a lost cause, Matt did learn to get his feet wet, listen to his influences, and start writing with conviction.
So storytellers like Sting and coffeehouse folk roots brought Matt to an acoustic driven pop rock style all his own. And just to keep the boys in Nashville waiting, Heinecke likes to toss some country into the mix, too. Whether its the subtle croon of Falling," the 70s-retro adult rock of Walk Away or the six-pack sippin fun of Southbound Mule," Matt keeps proving in concert, and now with his debut CD, Coming Home, that the destination was worth the journey.
We look forward to more to come...
