Live Virtual Concert!

Recently a friend loaned me an acoustic guitar. I reckon it’s time I made use of it.

On Sunday, January 25 at 3:00 PM Pacific time, I’ll perform in a live virtual house concert (my house) which will stream on video through uStream.

I’ll play for forty five minutes to an hour — a bunch of original music, maybe some surprises, too. It’s the first time I’ve performed a full set since 2004!

Admission is free, but I will have a little tip jar set up. Everyone who donates $20.00 or more the day of the event will get high-quality MP3 versions of every original song I play during the show — at least a dozen live songs!

Here’s a little commercial I’ve created for the event. Please embed the video on your own site and anywhere else you can, and mark it as a favorite on YouTube to help get the word out!

If you think you can make it on Sunday, January 25 at 3:00 PM Pacific time, please RSVP:

  1. Make sure you’re registered as a user at uStream.tv
  2. Leave a comment on this post letting me know you’ll be there, and be sure to include your uStream username

See you then! It’s gonna be fun!

    NJ has a hockey game at 6:15, but I’ll do my best to make the first part!

    • Matt mattselznick.com says:

      Does that kid play hockey, like, year round?

      Seriously, of course I’m happy to have you there at all! See you then. Or you’ll see me. Whatever.

  5. Ron Russell says:

    Hey!

    …was that a little Fats Domino reference at the end there?!

    • Matt mattselznick.com says:

      You nailed it, Ron! Leave it to an old X fan from way back to pick that up. I wondered if anyone would, and you did not disappoint.

      For the rest of ya — Ron’s referring to a scene from the amazing documentary film “X – The Unheard Music,” wherein there is an old clip of Fats Domino interviewed. Buy this movie if you love the band X, are interested in the Los Angeles punk rock scene of the late seventies / early eighties, or want to see a great example of collage film-making. Seriously — it’s inspiring.

    Matthew,
    I hope to be able to listen. I will be just out of hospital with keen replacement so…
    However, I hope you have tons of fun! My username is aradasky.

    • Matt mattselznick.com says:

      I had all my keen replaced years ago. Actually, it was just removed. They wanted to take my nifty, too, but I insisted on keeping that.

      In all seriousness (assuming you meant “knee”) I wish you a very speedy and full recovery. Music is a great healing agent..!

      Be well!

    Just now uploading my latest show with your audio promo in it, and linking back to this page in the shownotes, hence the late-night visit.

    Hope all goes well for you.

    Really looking forward to it! Just watched your video with running erin on youtube and having been there when you were first developing your musical and singing styling I must say man you frickin’ jam! and the voice… well, again, having been there back in the day I wouldn’t have known it was you if I hadn’t seen it for myself. It should be a real blast! My username is 67dbailey.

    • Matt mattselznick.com says:

      Dave, I gotta say it’s a real treat to know you’re gonna be there. Remember doing air guitar (me on bass, you on drums) to Rush and Police songs back in high school? Good times…

      I’ll try not to flub up too often on Sunday..!
