The Boston Herald Loves Me

Matthew Ebel — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 15:37:37 +0000

Well, at the very least, they wrote about me and my friend C.C. Chapman. This is pretty sweet, so please check it out. Here’s a clip from the article:

“In a field as competitive as entertainment, what matters most is how well you connect with your fans,” said Ebel, who moved to Boston from Nashville, Tenn., a year ago. “The technological tools we have give us the power to not just talk to but to listen to more people on a more meaningful level. If I stopped listening to my fans, they’d stop listening to me.”

A Little Dirt Never Hurts

Matthew Ebel — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 21:19:26 +0000

Okay, so normally I don’t cross-post stuff from my [tag]podcast[/tag] [tag]High Orbit[/tag], but this is too good not to share. I brought [tag]CC Chapman[/tag]‘s sisters Cass and Kim over to the studio to record an episode, and they brought some great stuff with them.

Like, for example, audio tapes of CC when he was 5 years old. And some stories about [tag]childhood[/tag]. And some [tag]college radio[/tag] clips.

Head on over to hear the episode right here, and share it with a friend!

Not The Brightest Bulb In The Knife Drawer

Matthew Ebel — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 17:29:14 +0000

Those of you who got my latest email probably noticed that I forgot to mention what day I was playing at Sambuca. I know some of you noticed, because some of you emailed me. Thanks! Just, um, making sure you were paying attention.

If I ever do that again, just check the Calendar page for the final word on any show. Thanks!

Any Press Is Good Press

Even if it’s basically an article about how broke you are. I don’t care, I’m just happy the [tag]Tennesseean[/tag] has had my picture on the front page of both the Business section and the main News section twice now.

Here’s a choice quote:

Along with playing music gigs, looking for session work and marketing his CD Beer and Coffee, Ebel is trying to make inroads in the world of [tag]podcasting[/tag], or downloadable audio blogs.

Dude, she plugged the album for me. Thanks, Jeanne!

Every Color Hits #1

Matthew Ebel — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 16:05:34 +0000

For those that follow the [tag]podcast charts[/tag], my new single [tag]Every Color[/tag] debuted at #1 and has stayed in the [tag]top ten[/tag] for the past three weeks now. Thanks so much to all the [tag]podcasters[/tag] for keeping it in the spotlight, and thanks to all of you for all the feedback you’ve been sending me!

Maybe I ought to put this one on an album.

Full-Length Interview on the Mommycast Music Show

Matthew Ebel — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 14:54:50 +0000

Hey, I just got a lot of love from Paige and Gretchen over at the [tag]Mommycast[/tag] and [tag]Mommycast Music Show[/tag]. It’s the first new music episode they’ve put out in a while, and they’ve got a brand new musical intro I cooked up for them as well!

You can hear the entire [tag]interview[/tag] HERE.

Where the heck are you?

Matthew Ebel — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 20:19:49 +0000

Hey, I just remembered a cool way to figure out where I should be [tag]touring[/tag]. If you haven’t heard of the people at [tag]Eventful.com[/tag], they’ve got a system that lets you (the listeners and fans) tell me where you want me to come play. All you have to do is click the button and tell me where you want me. Try it out!

Yeah, you’re going to have to register to do this, but they haven’t spammed me yet and I’ve been using it to try and get Hank to come back to Nashville for a while now.

Operation Roll Call

Matthew Ebel — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 14:16:37 +0000

A few months back I asked you to help get the attention of a [tag]sponsor[/tag] for my [tag]podcast[/tag], [tag]High Orbit[/tag]. Now I’ve got a few companies interested, but they’re all asking me the same question… How many listeners do you have? You know I want to bring you [tag]live music[/tag] every week, but I can’t do that unless one of these companies helps me out. All I need from you is a little help drawing a crowd!

I need your help to make this happen!

The Mission:

Here’s the mission and it’s a very simple one: Get a friend or two to subscribe to High Orbit

All they need is [tag]iTunes[/tag] or [tag]Juice[/tag] or any other [tag]podcatcher[/tag] program. If they’ve got a [tag]Palm[/tag] or [tag]Windows Mobile[/tag] gadget, there are ways to subscribe there as well. Just point ‘em at this page:

www.highorbitpodcast.com/subscribe

If you remember [tag]Operation Horned Horse[/tag], I have to thank everyone who participated. It’s because of your help and your letters that these companies are even interested in the first place. We’re only going to succeed, though, if you can recruit some new listeners!

You see, this is all part of the new music revolution. [tag]Podcasting[/tag] has created new ways for people to hear the recordings, but so far there’s no support for the [tag]live shows[/tag]. If you want your favorite artists to keep [tag]touring[/tag] (without charging $50 per ticket), then help me showcase the best [tag]live performers[/tag] on this planet.

All I need is for you to spread the word and sign people up. Remember- it’s all free, and all you need is a computer.

I’m counting on you!
