As part of Matthew’s 2007 spring tour he stopped off for a house concert in Ohio. This was six months before the release of Goodbye Planet Earth and nearly a year and a half after the release of Beer & Coffee. It was a tiny gathering in a tiny town that created one of the best intimate concert recordings Matthew’s ever captured.

Occasionally Matthew plays for a crowd that’s not entirely human. One recent show was earlier this year in Jacksonville, FL at Megaplex 2008. The event organizers didn’t realize that the hotel had placed an anniversary party in the ballroom next door, so the two parties actually managed to spill into each other a little!

Matthew Ebel:
I wrote this one over the summer of 2008 while living on Block Island, RI. All I could think of was getting back to the mainland to be with someone special, but I still had a blast on the island regardless. This song’s a tale of both the beauty and the bad of Block Island, of wanting to stay but wanting to hurry home.
