"To me a true artist is someone, who at the very least, has spent time in the trenches. Making an effort to serve and get their hands dirty. The process is a lot more real and painful than the illusion of being a celebrity, but in the end its what separates great artistry from the disposableness of where music is right now. That is a journey that I feel drawn to. I think that who a person is speaks so much more than anything that they do or dont do. To become a person of substance we all need to be honest and face our demons while living life. Somewhere in that process I hope to find something worthwhile to say in my music." Currently Matt and his band continue to walk the tedious line between traveling musician and local member in their home community. Given the depth of content that appears on his latest offering, Unlearning, lets hope Matt Brouwer and many more recording artists like him will continue to search for truth and meaning above climbing the ladder of fame. |
