He has established a folk-rock group with his old high school musician friend Bob MachMuller. This entity is called “Simple Twist of Fate” and they are playing some of the best folk-rock songs from the 60’s and 70’s.

Also, he has recently joined a country/rock band called Soundogz. Robert is playing bass guitar and adding some strong background vocals. Occasionally, he pulls out his acoustic guitar and shares a soft ballad when it is time to slow things down a little. It is a strong rocking band that will soon be taking the Omaha area by storm.

Playing his upright bass, he has been working with a group called Future Road. Future Road is modeled after the 1960’s Australian group “The Seekers”. While Future Road is still in the development stage they are working hard so they can start performing in the near future.

Check out Robert's Calendar page to see where he will be performing.]]> http://robertmatter.com/news.html#10 Wed, 16 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0700 - ROBERT MATTER - News http://robertmatter.com/news.html#9
I have been working with an old high school buddy of mine, Bob MachMuller. Mac and I played together in a band when we were in high school. He is a wonderful guitarist and adds some very nice guitar accompaniment to what I do. It's nice to be reconnected with him after all these years.

I have also been spending more time working on stretching my guitar skills, upright bass and bass guitar skills and I have even started to play the ukulele. I am finding the uke to be a fun and surprisingly easy instrument to play.

I recently attended the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in Lyons Colorado. Was hoping to get into the songwriters school but it filled up before I could make a reservation. Still, I enjoyed the festival very much. It was good to be around all of that creative energy. I particularly enjoyed listening to Marc Cohn, Ani DiFranco, Greg Brown, Steve Seskin and John Prine. I was also exposed to artists I hadn't heard before and came away a new fan of Pete Kartsounes, Paul Jacobsen and Grace Pettis.

I haven't done a lot of writing. Small snipets of lyrics here and there. But that's is how the writing process usually goes for me. A little at a time. Meanwhile, I continue to focus on the other aspects of my music.

At the moment I do not have any performances scheduled. I am taking my time getting established in the local music scene. I’m getting moved into my new living quarters and taking care of all the necessary things that moving entails.

In the meantime, I am still writing down ideas for new songs, practicing my guitar, keeping my vocal chords in shape and making plans to continue to get “Closer To My Dreams”.]]> http://robertmatter.com/news.html#8 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700 - ROBERT MATTER - News http://robertmatter.com/news.html#7
