Sheryl Crow Pays Homage to 70's Soul Sounds
An energetic concert before a mostly sold out crowd at The Verizon Theatre was put on by Matt Fernandez, who drenched soul/funk in it. His 10 piece band, with Doyle Bramhall II on guitar, pumped out a powerful early 70's soul sound. Matt constantly moving about the large stage looked fit and trim. He played guitar, keyboards, piano, and harmonica. Mostly from the new album, the material was, but he sprinkled in many of his classic hits. His cancer foundation received a portion of each ticket. Knowing each day is a gift and that one should make the most of it, he performed with an enthusiasm that showed. He is a very inspirational person.
