SUMMARY:HOWLIN MAT
DESCRIPTION:Howlin’ Mat is a BLUES musician who has performed everywhere from the Arctic Circle to\nthe Sahara Desert. He performs up to 200 shows a year and his escapades include him\nopening for the Happy Mondays\, spending an evening with Led Zeppelin legend John Paul\nJones on an Island 130 miles inside the Arctic Circle in the middle of winter and having a\nbirthday party being thrown by a notorious biker gang.\nArmed with his guitars and a slide on his finger\, Mat follows in the footsteps of his musical\nheroes such as Mississippi Fred McDowell and Muddy Waters and onstage he combines\nhis musical talents with hilarious tales of his time on the road.\nThe blues has made a deep and everlasting impression on Mat’s life.\nMat recalled: “Elmore James – Dust My Broom was the first blues track I heard. I had\nnever heard anything like it in my life – the hairs on my arms stood up and I was hooked.”\nIn addition to his admiration for other blues legends such as John Lee Hooker and Hound\nDog Taylor\, Mat’s style is as much developed from the trance-like style of Mississippi Hill\nCountry players – particularly R L Burnside. He added: “As I have grown older\, hypnotic\nrhythms have taken precedence over flashy guitar playing. The music of the North\nMississippi Hill Country is the coolest of all the blues forms and R. L is the daddy of it all.”\nVery early on in his professional career\, Mat was introduced to the Cigar Box guitar. It was\nlove at first sight and has now become a staple of all his shows. And he is proud to be\nacknowledged as one of the UK’s foremost performers of this amazing instrument.\nMat’s been touring for 17 years now. His great guitar playing and singing combined with\nhis sense of humour and storytelling make his shows a unique experience that truly\nentertains audiences worldwide.
