Rockin' high-energy electric Blues from a 29 year old guitar slinger.
Bio / Background
Matt O'Ree, a man and his Stratocaster cranking out the blues, has all the trappings of a genuine guitar hero. This 29-year-old guitar slinger plays with fire in his fingers and blues in his soul. Anyone who has experienced his music will only say but the best. At age 13, he sunk his roots in the blues-Albert King, Howlin' Wolf, to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
After establishing a good foundation, at age 15 started playing in various bands, honing his skills through time and pure dedication. This lead to an accomplished studio musician only two years later. Some of Matt's most recent accomplishments include the stage with world famous drummer Buddy Miles, an invite to play at Les Paul's Birthday Party, and was also one of the finalists in the Jimi Hendrix Electric Guitar Competition. Matt went on as a music major in college, picking up studio and live gigs anywhere he could. But it was there where he began collaborating with bass player, Eric Lee Collier.
↓ more ↓Also a NJ music scene veteran, Eric began his career by playing in many local bands, absorbing multiple styles into his technique. Eric had the drive, passion, and the style comparable to James Jamerson and John Paul Jones, which was a key factor in creating the Blues Hound's sound.
After auditioning several drummers, they decided on local talent, Bob Pantella. Bob has played and toured around the country in a range of different styles, which earned him chops unlike no other. Bob brings a pounding beat to the power trio much like legendary drummer John Bonham and Mitch Mitchell, adding a creative passion to an old style of music.
With the line up complete, they began writing and recording material that evolved into their debut CD, "88 Miles." Released in 1998, it gained national reviews and airplay, pushing the Hounds to a higher level including opening the show for national recording artists like Gov't Mule, Robin Trower, Bernard Allison, Chris Duarte, Indigenous, Robby Kreiger, and Walter Trout.
As Seen in "Blues Revue" magazine...
"Matt O'Ree and the Blues Hounds slam out electric blues on "88 Miles"
(self-release), producing a whopping rock sound that prowls Johnny Winter/Stevie Ray Vaughan turf with an exciting edge. O'Ree is an energetic singer with a hard-edged voice, and his guitar constantly lays out metallic spikes of rhythm and leads - it's power trio stuff with a fat blues-rock sound. Best cut, the instrumental title track where O'Ree's steam-hammer licks ride high. "
"Matt is a bad motor scooter and a bear go getter with a band to back it up. I hail him..."
Buddy Miles
Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsies
