Matthew Harrison is currently fronting Las Vegas act 'Raygunriot'. These songs are from his debut solo CD released in 2001. Working with producer/engineer Jeff Robinson, Matthew assembled some of the greatest players in music today. Kevin Shepard of 'Tonic', 'Zoo Story' & 'The Revisionists' plays drums on this record; John Ginty formerly of Jewel's band plays keyboards; Evan Frankfort, once a touring member of the Wallflowers plays guitar alongside Mark Christian of 'Merle Jagger'. The result is modern and direct. Matthew's voice is one of the strongest in rock music today.
Do you play live?

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Corporate Radio has driven people to the internet to find new music. Coming out of an era with corporate radio having songs be undisclosed, paid advertisements and the aspect of national, corporate, playlists has forced many people to the internet to find new music. Hopefully, MP3's and the internet can re-introduce musical variety to the people.
