A veteran of local jam band favorite Shady Groove, Hartle brings his lead guitar licks to Felton with his own new band. Fusing different styles like jazz, country and rock the Matt Hartle Band will perform original songs and instrumentals.
It should come as no surprise when a guitar whiz with a veritable lifetime of musical experience proceeds to tear the roof off the sucker.
Still, surprise is an element that seems to be on Matt Hartle's side. It could be the juxtaposition of jazz standards with unassuming country rock, or maybe a seemingly endless vocabulary of psychedelic melodies.
Whatever the case, he's managed to keep audiences guessing throughout tenures with local groups like Bughouse and Shady Groove. Be the first to hip your friends to Santa Cruz’s latest and happenin-est and keep an eye out for the Matt Hartle Band's upcoming CD.
