Bio / Background
New Yorker Matt Turk is a versatile musician, an accomplished guitarist, songwriter, mandolinist and vocalist.
"What Gives" is produced by Kevin Hupp. Mixed by Peter Moshay (Desree, Hall & Oates), Engineered by Jay Newland (Norah Jones) Matt Turk on vocals, guitars, and mandolin, Jack Daley (Lenny Kravitz) and Mike Leslie on bass, Kevin Hupp (Maceo Parker, Joan Osborne, Rufus Wainright) on drums, Russ Irwin (Aerosmith, Sting) and Saul Zonana on keys, Curtis Schmidt (Cosmic Jug) and Randy Funke (The Grapes).
"In my 20 years in the music business as a musician, producer, and radio host, I have listened to countless indie releases. What Gives by Matt Turk is among the best of them! Strong songwriting with catchy hooks complemented by tasteful production, solid guitar playing, and compelling vocals are what sets What Gives apart. I'd put this album up against anything, indie or major label and it would come out a winner.
