Performer of the Week: Mat Toronto

Don't let his moniker fool you, Mat Toronto is a local musician (and a talented one at that).

He can sing as well as play drums, bass, harmonica, sax, flute, bongos, piano, guitar and more. On top of being a multi-instrumentalist, he also crosses over into many genres of music.

Under the name Blues River Man, he performs incredible, unique hard rock and blues; as Matthew Folk he does great traditional and alt-folk, and also dabbles in electronic jazz with Jam Bodhi.

You'll soon be able to purchase more of his amazing work as he's working on a new CD to be released in January of 2010.
