Quotes & Reviews
- Find more press clippings and quotes on the Press Page or in the Media Kit PDF
- “Matthew is the type of artist I refer to in my book as a “Builder” meaning Matthew is constantly pushing his career forward using not only musical innovation but also technology.”
Ariel Hyatt, MusicThinkTank.com - “Getting out on the road to build an audience is a constant struggle for the average indie artist… But what if you could take your show around the world without moving a single guitar amp or eating another drive- thru meal? Now you can! Indie artists like Matthew Ebel have harnessed the power of online services like UStream to accomplish just that.”
Kevin Breuner, CD Baby DIY Podcast - “Calling a musician an entertainer seems redundant, but donʼt be fooled: Ebel is a performerʼs performer, a showman onstage and off. I purchased no fewer than four copies of his latest album, and got friends to buy the rest of what he had on him…Matthew has a future, and I hope he remembers me when heʼs selling out arenas.”
Chris Brogan, LinkedIn Recommendation - “His catchy hooks, comical lyrics and deep soulful piano playing will have his songs stuck in your head from the first listening…this album is a must have.”
CC Chapman, iTunes Customer Review - “The growth of social networking— from podcasting networks to MySpace, Facebook and Second Lifeʼs virtual-reality socializing —is, in the eyes of techie indie musicians like Ebel, shifting the music-business model ‘for the benefit of the independent performer.’ It works best, Ebel says, ‘if you stay on top of it.’”
Nicole Keiper, The Tennessean - “…we looked at Matthew Ebel, whose experiments with giving fans a subscription service that provides new music and additional opportunities for access are working quite well. In that case, he’s obviously using access, authenticity and exclusivity along with belonging and patronage.”
