Wow, finally an update! So much going on with my life. Getting married, building a studio, producing a few records. For now, Matt Grondin the original artist is on the backburner, except for select gigs when my Snarky Puppy compatriots are in close proximity and we can throw something together. I'm going to be focusing mainly on freelancing, session work, producing, and engineering, which will tie very nicely into my first big business venture, an analog, old-school recording studio I'm building to serve the New Orleans area. It's gonna be hot, stay tuned!
Thursday's usual Trio gig always featuring New Orleans' finest. My first opportunity to do this illustrious gig. I feel very lucky being a recent transplant to New Orleans and getting chances like these. Thanks Deborah!
We will be premiering songs off my brand new record live for the first time! Come celebrate NYE with me, Snarky Puppy, and JJ Grey & Mofro!
Bear Creek was amazing. Got to play with Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Ave., Yonrico Scott Band, and Papa Mali with Bernie Fred Wesley and Bernie Worrell. A good time was had by all.
Mixing for "Matt Grondin-The Ra Source" is now done. Mastering starts first thing Tuesday morning with Bob Ludwig in Maine. It all sounds really good and I can't wait to share. Good night!
