Mat Day & Friends - “Merry Christmas, Baby”

Описание: Mat Day will be familiar to blues audiences around the country as the lead guitarist with The Greg Coulson Band. His involvement with Greg has taken him to blues clubs and festivals all over the UK, in addition to supporting the James Taylor Quartet on their 2022 UK tour.

Besides Greg Coulson, Mat is involved with a number of other music projects, notably as guitarist with Billy Lockett, with whom he played festivals around the UK in the summer, including BST Hyde Park. And Mat is also working with the Northampton based singer Afreine.

In spite of his popularity as an in-demand sideman and session musician, with the likes of Greg Coulson and Billy Lockett, Mat’s heart and soul is deeply rooted in the music that inspired him to pick up the guitar in the first place - the blues.

In order to pursue his real passion, Mat recently embarked on his own blues-based project, The Mat Day Band. With the experienced Luke Palmer on bass, the multi-instrumentalist Sam Round on drums, and the young and highly talented Ben Maxwell on keyboards, Mat has been working on his debut EP, due for release later this year. Consisting of a mix of self-penned originals, and Chicago-style blues standards, the music draws on inspiration from icons of the blues guitar, such as Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robben Ford.
