Here’s your end-of-the-week treat… Matt Singer’s acoustic version of his song “Perfect Lawns”. Matt took advantage of the nice weather (aka before it started raining for days here in NYC) and played this pretty song just for you.

Download this song or his entire album, The Build, on the Family Records store.

Haven’t seen Matt Singer live? Or can’t wait to see him again? You can see him in a show of a slightly different kind at St. Ann’s Warehouse at the end of this month. He’s is teaming up with puppeteer Eric Wright to perform their new puppetry musical about the human experience of food politics, What Are You Eating, at the Puppet Lab at St. Ann’s Warehouse. Mr. Wright’s performance credits include Madama Butterfly (Metropolitan Opera) and Powerhouse (NYC Fringe Festival) and he is a co-founder of The Puppet Kitchen, whose clients include The Public Theater (Hamlet) and FAO Schwartz / Folkmanis Puppets.

PS: You’ll get a new video from Matt each Friday, leading up to the release of his next single from “The Build”. Score!

It’s Friday and who doesn’t love a video treat at the end of a long work week? Here’s a little live gem from Matt Singer (shot by the talented shot by Kristen Winter). It’s his song “Or Wherever”, from his new album “The Build”. Both braved cold temps to create this beauty.

If you missed Matt’s last show, catch him in a show of a slightly different kind at St. Ann’s Warehouse at the end of this month. He’s is teaming up with puppeteer Eric Wright to perform their new puppetry musical about the human experience of food politics, What Are You Eating, at the Puppet Lab at St. Ann’s Warehouse.
