"Folk with an edge"
Adelphia Cable's Crossroads A13 TV
"What acoustic performer Matt Surowiec lacks in wattage, he more than makes up for in experience."
After Six Magazine, June 2003
"...mixes the songwriting and storytelling of John Mellencamp with Tom Petty and plays with the intensity of KISS"
Niagara Gazette, July 24, 2003
Matt Surowiec is a singer/songwriter born and raised in Buffalo, NY by a Polish-Irish-German family, wealthy in humor, recipes, and tradition. Matt draws upon his working class roots to paint mind-stimulating stories of comic and tragic characters.
He continually explores new musical territory, from country to ethnic folk music to loud electric guitar rock. On this current stop along his musical journey, Matt has played in many Western New York bars and coffeehouses over the past 3 years. His goal is to elevate Buffalo's reputation and enhance Buffalo's image by romanticizing its past, present, and people, as Bruce Springsteen did for New Jersey and John Mellencamp did for the American Heartland. Matt's efforts are not limited to mere observation - a lifelong Buffalo Sabres hockey fan, two years ago he spearheaded an ongoing campaign to preserve Buffalo Memorial Auditorium until the building can be redeveloped.
These songs are presented in reverse chronological order, in an attempt to show a progression of lyrical and musical growth. "Sorrow's Eve" was written 14 years ago, while "I'm Going Home" and "Now What?" were written last year.
