Matt Turk at The Burren, THE BURREN back room acoustic music series 247 Elm Street, Somerville MA Sunday July 7 at 8 PM

Through The Years with Matt Turk


Back in early 2000 or so my editor Larry at Replication News and Medialine invited me to meet musician Matt Turk at a New York diner.  Since I was in Manhattan for a convention or something or other, it was fun to meet up with this artist Larry had been raving about.    I believe I got a copy of his debut disc, Turktunes, at that meeting and wrote this for AllMusic.com "Matt Turk is an exemplary singer/songwriter from the New York area with a six-song CD overflowing with refined power pop that shows ingenuity and enthusiasm. "Jimmy" opens the CD with a hook that won't quit while conjuring images of angels taking a damaged human being from this realm to the next for a new start."   Two years later Turk followed it up with the full-length What Gives

http://www.allmusic.com/album/what-gives-mw0000693535
For that album I wrote "Matt Turk's What Gives is a smart, professional, highly palatable collection of frosty pop tunes that fall out of his pen effortlessly, enunciated by a voice so AM/FM friendly there is no question the world would be a better place with his material rocking the airwaves. You Are The One" opens things up with a slow-paced pop blues feeling sort of like "Like A Rolling Stone" gone Triple A radio".

Joseph Tortelli wrote of "Silver Ring" from Washington Arms

     Sometimes a song reverberates long after its original release date. The phenomenon is more common in authentic folk music than in the ephemeral pop marketplace. Such is the case with the "Silver Ring," a contemporary folk rock tune penned by singer-songwriter Matt Turk.
     "Silver Ring" was first released on Washington Arms, a 10-song album from 2006. Bursting with ringing acoustic guitar chords and tasteful electric riffs, the song and album highlight Turk's talents as composer, vocalist, and guitar player. Accompanied by drummer Kevin Hupp and bassist Kevin Jenkins, Turk creates a textured musical sound on both melodic ballads and uptempo rockers.

Matt Turk is an exemplary singer/songwriter from the New York area with a six-song CD overflowing with refined power pop that shows ingenuity and enthusiasm. "Jimmy" opens the CD with a hook that won't quit while conjuring images of angels taking a damaged human being from this realm to the next for a new start. "Buffalohead" is track three but should have switched places with the beautifully mournful "Never Said Goodbye." "Goodbye" brings things down a few notches while "Buffalohead" has intense boom boom drums from some "Indian Reservation" that Paul Revere & the Raiders once visited, and a very in controlled vocal by Turk.  As the late Lillian Roxon raved about the young and relatively unknown Jackson Browne in her book Rock Encyclopedia back in 1969, Matt Turk may strike you as just as talented a find.
