Friday December 18
Matt Urmy
at Town Pump Tavern
8:30pm
Born in New York City, but raised in Tennessee, Matt Urmy walks in the footsteps of many traditions. A troubadour performer and composer, he has two independent album releases, with the third due 
out in July 2009, and a published book of poetry.At his performances he weaves spoken word poetry into his folk-blues style of storytelling and singing. You can catch him solo, or with his band, The Revelators.
Passion is a powerful force. The records keep getting written and recorded, each year, his craft improves, and his voice is more unique. His talent combined with his work ethic, and his compelling love for music and language keep moving him forward...
"Urmy is his own man, blessed with a tuneful, Knopfler-esque baritone that’s as well suited to singing as to the spoken word. A student of the late Maori healer Hohepa “Papa Joe” Delamere, Urmy does healing work himself, and the impulse to uplift comes through. But if that sounds too “New Agey,” don’t let it deter you: The majority of the material recalls the groovin’ country soul of The Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers or the thoughtful folk of John Prine"— The Nashville Scene
