This concert was a bit shorter than most (typically I like to do a 90-minute set or 2 hourlong sets), but it was still awesome. Yes, there was awesome in New Jersey. Believe it! I drove out to play for the local Social Media gathering at Purple Stripe Productions in Trenton, and I hope it won’t be the last time I’m there!

With the advent of a new year, it’s time to change the setup. Since I’m going to be playing a lot more live-in-person shows this year, I’m working on a setup that’s more organic. With just my piano and voice, I was able to rock out for two solid hours for an amazing number of UStream viewers.

Since the show was so long, this one will be uploaded in two parts. This month you’ll get the first half, an hour chock full of new tunes and old favorites!

Thanks to Brett, Jake, and all the others who pooled their resources and flew me down to Atlanta, I’ve actually got a real live concert recording this month. The only drawback? I had the plague. No matter, it seems the crowd that gathered for this house concert enjoyed themselves regardless. Until next time, keep washing those hands!

This time there’s no robot band, no drum tracks, and not surprisingly no technical difficulties. Matthew is recovering from a cold but plays for over an hour with just a piano backing him up.

Let it never be said that Matthew Ebel is devaluing human contact. Though many of his recordings are taken from UStream shows (at least until he gets a booking agent), he has always felt most comfortable with a more immediate audience. Especially an audience of his VIP fans!

This month’s live recording is a little shorter than most- just over half an hour. It’s also taken from a portable recorder, not straight from the sound system Matthew usually uses. The vibe in the room, however, was so good that we had to share this recording with the rest of the subscribers.
