"Oh yeah, top-down drivin' around music, this is. Just imagine it: got the roof open, the wind in your hair, the sun in your face, driving into that morning sun. Feeling good, alive, awake, and full of fun." -Adam Curry, The Daily Source Code

notes

This is the album that's had singles in the podcasting Top 10 for months. Check it out at music.podshow.com

He's been called a soulful white guy, an acoustic geek-rocker, and the love child of Elton John and Billy Joel. His fans know him as everything from Matthew to Birdman to simply "Hot Wings". Whatever you call him, though, Matthew Ebel is more than just a singer-songwriter, he's a space pirate captain that takes his fans and friends beyond the mundane.

Matthew began playing piano at age 5, learning classical music under the assumption that every good boy does fine. He performed in recitals, choirs, operas, and live theater right up to his college graduation in 2001. However, Rachmaninov and Grieg inspired him less than They Might be Giants and Jason Mraz. Now you can find Matthew playing in coffee shops and bars across the USA.

In the spring of 2002 Matthew crammed all of his stuff into a tiny UHAUL trailer and dragged it behind his Taurus from Spokane, WA to Nashville, TN. Stopping at every Starbucks on the way, he quickly developed a caffeine buzz that allowed him to pass through solid matter. This permitted him to walk directly on stage at the Grand Ole Opry to play with Mercury Records artist Billy Currington. The buzz soon subsided and this became Matthew's first and last serious venture into the country music industry. He's currently working on his first progressive rock album, Beer & Coffee.

Since Matthew has seen quotes in a lot of other artists' bios, he insisted on planting one here at the end of his. "All I really want is to do or say something quotable," says Matthew, "that's the key to success in life. If you can get your name on bumper stickers and shirts and get people to ask for your autograph, then you've made it." He then proceeded to start printing bumper stickers with his website address on them.

    Well heard it live, sounded good. Got the songs now on CD and it´s astounding (check out the drums !) Really good songs Matthew did a great job with his companions on that CD ! Buy it !

  • Time spent without this CD is misspent for sure
    author: Daniel Johnson Jr

    I have played Matthew's music on the Journey Inside My Mind podcast for some time, but for the life of me I had never bought the CD until just recently. That was a lot of misspent time I could have been listening to the CD. Now that I have the CD, (and yes, I love CD Baby!) it's in heavy rotation in my home.

  • Beautiful original songs!
    author: Musilosophy

    Great original songs.I like Matthew's style. It is a blend of pop,rock and blues. "Drive Away" is fantatstic!

  • Massive value for money
    author: Ole Kristian Valle

    This CD is just great High quality, well polished and informative extra information on CD. I love it.

  • The best stuff he's put out yet!
    author: Theresa

    I have been listening to Matt since he first began recording his work, and I think this CD holds his finest work! It's coffee house style with a twist! He shows a side of himself that everyone should appreciate and admire. If you don't have it, you need to get it!

  • FANTASTIC! AWESOME! INCREDIBLE!
    author: Jim Farley

    Beer & Coffee will be what makes Matthew Ebel "THE" standard of PMN performers. Each and every song is well arranged and executed. There is nothing too "trite" about his lyrics. They are well thought out as is every counter melody and harmony. This album should sell millions more than it probably will. It's gonna stay in my CD changer for some time! Drive Away!!!

  • Great CD
    author: Barb Stewart

    Great CD!!! Drive Away is an awesome song!!

  • This CD has been playing in my car since I got it
    author: Lisa Segarra

    I heard a couple of the songs on this CD from CC Chapman and Lovehouse Radio. When I heard the live concert I decided I had to have the CD. I can listen to it repeatedly because there are some great lyrics, and the music has a broad range.

  • Matthew Ebel is amazing in Beer & Coffee
    author: Douglas Potts

    Beer & Coffee is my first Matthew Ebel album and I know that I'll be back. I heard Matthew on the U-Turn Cafe podcast with C. C. Chapman, and on Adam Curry's Daily Source Code, and knew I had to get it. Keep up the amazing work!

  • I Keep Coming Back...!
    author: JP

    Matthew's latest effort is outstanding! This is the kind of quality music you hope to hear in a club or coffee shop (but usually don't). On this disc you'll hear old and new influences, but the everything on it is 100% unique. I just keep coming back for another listen--this album may actually be addictive, just like beer and coffee. And it may end up stuck in my player if I'm not careful. Great talent; great CD. Buy it now--you won't be disappointed!

  • A great value and every track is thoroughly enjoyable!
    author: Ed Ovett

    I definitely agree with C.C. Chapman's review. Not only is every track enjoyable and catchy, but the extra five (5) live tracks are recorded exceptionally well. If you like listening to tunes while driving, this CD is a MUST HAVE! Can't say enough good stuff about it!

  • A Must Have for Your Collection
    author: C.C. Chapman

    Creative, original and talented song writing are a staple on this CD. Matthew delivers a CD that I feel everyone needs to own a copy of. The fun filled lyrics make you appreciate the songs even more every time you listen to them. Put the top down, crank the stereo and this album sounds even better.
