Thursday 1.8
Matthew Reveles

Arizona multi-instrumentalist Matthew Reveles was raised on a steady diet of Gram Parsons, but while his music builds on the late-great country legend’s legacy with sun-kissed ‘60s and ‘70s-era country rock melodies hanging all over We’ll Meet Halfway, Reveles’ independently-released debut is no Whiskeytown retread. The up-and-coming artist folds in plenty of blues, folk and indie-rock elements into his sound, with some tracks reminiscent of Elliot Smith’s hushed vocal delivery. The overall effect is neither retro nor groundbreaking but simply timeless. Basically, it’s pretty and pairs well with whiskey. What more could you ask for on a Thursday night? Reveles will perform along with local favorite Brinton Jones.
