Concert Photos | Matthew E. White at Haw River Ballroom, Saxapahaw, NC

I’m proclaiming Matthew E. White the smartest man in the
music business today – like, if there was a musical Mensa, he’d be the grand
wizard or however those smarties organize their cult.  You see, he knows that first impression
thing is actually real — so what did he do for Hopscotch this year? He brought in
a band of like, 50 people, and knocked that shit out of the park, leaving us
music junkies to salivate while listening to his new record, Big Inner, until
the next time he brought his ass back to our area.

We finally got to stop drooling, for a second, Saturday
night in Saxapahaw, NC – and Mr. White in no way disappointed.  And while his band was whittled down to just
a handful, it didn’t stop the songs from Big Inner from sounding as grand as
they do spinning on record.  We swayed,
we clapped, we awkwardly told him how much we love his music at the merch
table.  It was a good night – and we have
the photos to prove it! Check them out below, and see the full set here.

Now we just have to keep ourselves busy until he releases something new. Sure
hope it isn’t long…
