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.

Matthew was named one of the Guests of Honor at this year’s FWA convention. While he was there he put on a full-length show, debuting some new live material to the Atlanta crowd. It was also his first live performance with sequenced backup tracks (he calls it his robot band).

Of course, if you want to be a part of the live action, take a look at Matthew’s Calendar.
