THE WELCOME MATT ANOUNCES RELEASE OF HIS FIRST COMPILATION CD
“THE PANHANDLE YEARS”
“THE PANHANDLE YEARS including the single “KARMA” the new R.E.M/U2 flavored single produced by Bay Area veteran producer MATT BOUDREAU, rocks a compilation of 18 songs from 7 Welcome Matt albums ; providing you with a decade of articulate aural landscapes from this prolific San Francisco singer songwriter.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA –One of San Francisco’s leading music makers, Matt Langlois Aka The Welcome Matt, fresh off his successful East Coast 2012 tour has comes out with his first collection of songs mindfully culled from his lengthy body of independent releases.
Available now on itunes and throughout the digital universe.
“Matt has found the secret to truly personable songwriting. Evoking
the Beatles circa Rubber Soul with a little Ray Davies and a little
Cake as he drifts somewhere between Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy and Bob Dylan,
mastering a sense of expert lyrical spacing and rasping dreamy
opinion.” -

Biography:
MATT LANGLOIS here. I am an indie rock, folk singing, song writing, poet originally from New England turned longtime San Francisco resident. I’ve been wandering the earth, performing in endless cafés, bars, living rooms and clubs while setting tile, living off my downloads, gig money and somehow surviving life in the San Francisco underground. I haven’t gotten kicked out of town…yet. I’m still here creating and in many ways I’ve just begun.
MATT LANGLOIS here. I am an indie rock, folk singing, song writing, poet originally from New England turned longtime San Francisco resident. I’ve been wandering the earth, performing in endless cafés, bars, living rooms and clubs while setting tile, living off my downloads, gig money and somehow surviving life in the San Francisco underground. I haven’t gotten kicked out of town…yet. I’m still here creating and in many ways I’ve just begun.
I am not an emerging artist. I have arrived you just didn’t see me at the baggage carousel
collecting my guitar and mini Samsonite merch case.
I’ve released Seven WELCOME MATT CD’s, two with HEY BRONTOSAURUS.
Due out in 2012 I’ve got my first compilation CD, THE PANHANDLE YEARS
featuring some of my favorite WELCOME MATT songs over the last decade, including
my newest single “KARMA.”
From 2009 to 2011, I was consumed with the musical project, MEMBERS OF SOUND,
releasing a song a month for 2 years. The project started out as just another late night idea
on tour in West Hollywood but ended up being an amazing 24 months that culminated in
two major CD releases. During this time I worked with many Bay Area musicians and an
array of producers on MEMBERS OF SOUND, who have worked with artists such as
FOSTER THE PEOPLE, FOUR NON-BLONDS, DAN THE AUTOMATOR, TRAIN,
THE COUNTING CROWS and GALACTIC.
I played some 200 gigs, recorded a duet and filmed a video in one day for “YOU ARE
THE CHORDS” with singer/songwriter MEGAN SLANKARD. This project started and
ended with sold out performances at San Francisco’s favorite hipster live music venue
CAFÉ DU NORD. My main objective was to maintain a creative state for a sustained
period of time while chronicling the musician’s journey as I’ve seen it and known it. I am
lucky to have met so many cool, crazy and committed characters along the way… all
because of music.
I’ve been fortunate to have had MEMBERS OF SOUND songs downloaded all over the
world catching the attention of many, especially here locally including, Peter Finch’s
“FOG FILES” on KFOG 104.5, San Francisco Bay Area’s biggest radio station. KFOG
also put the MEMBERS OF SOUND song “THAT I CAN DO “ on their 2011 Music in
Schools summer sampler. During this period I also collaborated with renowned Modern
dance choreographer CHRISTINE CALI.
With her CALI & CO dance company, we created “MOVE THRU ME”, a 3-day
dance/music performance in San Francisco’s Dance Mission Theatre (Feb 11’) and YES !
a Members of Sound song, “MOVE THRU ME” was created with a dance/music video
choreographed by Christine Cali.
I’ll be on the road on the East coast in August 2012, up and down the West coast in the
fall, through the mid-west in the winter. Watch for my 2013 release and US tour!
“Matt has found the secret to truly personable songwriting. Startlingly sincere and instantly accessible . He is a storyteller at heart and emotes with a clarity and honesty so many front man lack. “
