You may have seen Matt Costa opening for Jack Johnson on tour, thoughtful well written accoustic guitar based material, plaintively sung by a fella who's had a fair share of heartbreak. At the age of 19 and on the way to a pro skateboard career he shattered his leg in an accident.
This heartbreaking event seems to have generated a passion for songwriting and these are good tunes, well worthy if you're looking for some accoustic moments, very nice. Matt appeared here with his full band as part of his world tour - the next seven days sees him in Glasgow, Berlin, Paris, Holland and returning to the USA for his national TV debut on Carson Daly's late night talk show.
