"If you want to experience heartwarming, folksy musical fun, you’ll want to check out Mike Mattera’s upcoming new CD. Mike welcomes you into his small beachside town with "Can I Drift Along?" and scoops the gossip on community events with "Doo Doo On You" and "Turtle Crossing".
"Pills Pills" is a requested favorite among our readers who have heard Mike play at his gigs. These songs are catchy little tunes that are sure to make you smile.
Mike Mattera has wowed us with his friendly and gentlemanly ways. Mike is now in the process of getting back into the studio to finish recording his current album, "GASOLINE".Band/artist history
Early 70's Michael Shoemaker of "Shoemaker & Holly"
2002-PRESENT "Big Country Mike Mattera"Have you performed in front of an audience?I play for a lot of older folks... There is nothing more satisfying than to watch them smile and laugh when they hear my silly songs.
Your musical influences
Well thats a funny thing...I grew up listening to opera, started out playing folk music, then a hard rock , & latter a R & B production band.
I always considered myself a story teller, and country music provides that avenue and permits me to use different styles and methods of music.What equipment do you use?
Gibson guitars
Teac 2 Track
Quad Reverb
Assorted mics
Crown ampsAnything else?
I have no messages, no great words of wisdom, no "magic pills" to make everything right, just a simple view of things that happen...and we all know "doo-doo happens".
If you take a ride with me I promise to tell you a story...and maybe the next story I tell will be about you...Strange things are prettier
