Episode Synopsis

Join Tamara for an interview with full-time musician Matt Eckstine, whose songs we featured on a recent special musical episode. Within this episode you'll also hear a few snippets of his music, both solo and with past band The Accomplices. 
Matt was voted Best Local Americana/Folk/Roots Band/Artist in Connect Savannah's "Best of 2022" awards. Harnessing a wide range of influences from Tom Petty and Jack Johnson to Steve Earle and James Taylor, he released a debut solo album in 2017, and then in 2020 he created a home studio, resulting in his album "Lil' Blue."
Matt sings and plays guitar regularly in Savannah, Bluffton, and Hilton Head. He plans to work on a brand-new album after the New Year, so keep an ear out!
