Hello 41 !
Hello to this now vintage chat with Matt Sweeney recorded June 14 2018.
I was first introduced to Matt trough my friend Pete Townsend.
Not THAT Pete but another Pete!
There’s a rather fantastic band by the name of Super Wolf and Pete plays drums, Matt’s on guitar and Will Oldham aka Bonnie Prince Billy is singing.
It’s hard to not be moved by that music and every element is crucial to the buzz.
Who’s that amazing guitarist you ask? Yep, it’s Matt Sweeney.
