Funky, contemporary rhythms underpin rapid tunes,while bassist Matt "The Hat" Downer brings the most chunky of funky lines
Indeed it's Downer who is responsible for one of the band's most distinctive elements. His powerful bass lines, whether played on his unusual electric upright bass or on a more conventional bass guitar, add jazz and funk elements that are rarely heard in what is essentially a folk setting
There's also wonderful liquid electric bass from Downer that draws its inspiration from the more lyrical moments of Jaco Pastorius
Technically assured bassist Matt Downer
Consummately professional and consistently personable - Matthew Downer is capable, enthusiastic and dedicated. It all adds up to make an extraordinary musician. Don't hire him, there's only so much to go around! :)
Matt's Bass playing is as sharp as his image - and just as cool.
We always look forward to working with Matt. Underneath his uber-cool exterior lies an enthusiasm that is truly infectious… and, man, can that cat swing!
Matt Downer's playing is both fluid and explorative. He will find nuances in a groove that you didn't know were there, and his love of playing shines through in every performance. A special talent.
