East Grace Street House Concert Series presents MATT THE ELECTRICIAN

Sun May 7 1:30 pm
A special “brunch” edition, with Church Hill’s own Craft Kolaches. Attendance is limited to 30 people. $20 / Despite the name, Matt The Electrician is no longer an electrician, focusing instead on a music career that has spanned the course of two decades, a dozen records, and literally thousands of shows. It’s folk music for a modern age, rooted in lyrics that focus on the realities and challenges of the 21st century as opposed to, say, the old-school thrill of hopping trains. Matt’s Wyldwood House Concerts in Austin are pretty much the reason we created “East Grace Street”.
