Minglewood is nothing short of scintillating…..” Blues Beat Magazine – Tim Holek "Except for those who have seen Minglewood perform The Story live, this album reveals his hidden acoustic brilliance. It also has the innate ability to speak to you and guide you like a best friend. If there ever was a Canadian folk/rock hero, this CD proves Matt Minglewood is worthy of the title." 88.9 KJLU FM in Jefferson City MO -Mark T Smith "Matt is like fine wine he just keeps getting better and better as time goes by. 'The Story' is quite a musical treasure" Norman Provencher -Ottawa Citizen " Minglewood's music has come from that indefinable excellent place where the blues meets rock and country.

Matt Minglewood - Live At Last (Norton Records) Minglewood Live at Last one of my top 10 picks of 2005 …”If you enjoy a high energy double-barreled attack that rocks your blues, you’ll love this CD. The ashes left in your CD tray will confirm just how much this CD smokes” Hubert O’Hearn – journalist Chronicle Journal (Thunder Bay, On “I was literally blown off my seat at this years (2004) Thunder Bay Blues Festival by Matt Minglewood…..the crowd gave him a well deserved standing ovation not usually seen at a Blues Festival” Vaughn O’Connor – Northumberland Sound Promotions (Moncton, NB) “Matt’s solo performance “The Story” provides an insight into his songs and his life that we as fans seldom get to witness. He truly is a living legend with a “must see” performance. “The Story” really is a pleasure for all. Timothy Gillespie, Osprey Arts Centre (Shelburne, NS) "From both a performance and management standpoint, Matt Minglewood's "The Story" show was the most pleasurable show I have produced at the Osprey Arts Centre. I hope we can have Matt back as soon as he is able and willing" Jennifer Crocker- Communication Director Savoy Theatre (Glace Bay, NS) “When you strip away the big end of production, take away the band and flashy lights and STILL end up with a gargantuan performance, you know then, you’re dealing with a real performer. A man with true ability to captivate his audience.” Chris Ball – manager The Astor Theatre (Liverpool, NS) “The Story gave me and my audience an opportunity to meet Matt Minglewood the person not just Matt the performer. His one on one relationship with the audience was great and the music was second to none…he is a true musician and songwriter.” Joel Wright – CKDU 97.5 Dalhousie Radio (Halifax, NS) “This was the show I least wanted to see end….and I’ve even seen Kiss. The songs you’ve heard before but not like this. And the stories, Matt makes you feel like it’s just you and him sitting down having a beer. Amazing! John Weir – manager The Decoste Centre (Pictou, NS) ‘The Story’ is a one-man show with the power of a five-piece band on full-tilt boogie. Matt is re-defining the future of ‘concert hall’ rock n’ roll……. unplugged, up close and stripped to reveal the singer—the songs --- and the stories.” Steve MacDonald – Steve MacDonald Productions (Lunenburg, NS) “Matt had us captivated from the moment he walked on stage. It was a terrific evening of entertainment. Matt has a way with a song and a way with a story. This was one of our best nights out in a long time.” Brian Mortimer- Co-producer of the London Chapter of Canada South Blues Society Matt Minglewood made a triumphant return to London to a sold-out crowd at the Wortley Road House. Somehow Matt may us all feel like we were sitting in his kitchen down home. How can such a talented man be so humble? He played with passion and showcased his immense writing skills and world class voice. Matt- come back soon- we love your stories and the way you present them! Greg Simpson- President Mindbenders Music and publicist for Canada South Blues Society- London chapter Watching Matt Minglewood turn a full house of Sunday afternoon blues fans into honorary Cape Bretoners is an experience that has to be seen as well as heard and felt. ……………..he is, primarily, a musician whose music speaks to the people. Wanda Earhard – What’s Goin On Magazine (Sydney, NS) “I actually heard people say they would have gladly paid the ticket price just to hear the stories, so join that with excellent music and it makes for one of the best shows the Savoy has ever hosted” Dan MacDonald – Cape Breton Post (Sydney, NS) “No band, no one to sing backup. Just the man, four guitars and a piano. What evolved was a wonderfully intimate evening with one of Cape Breton’s foremost rock and blues entertainers, a look inside his life, his travels and his music…..the audience sang and laughed and cheered.” Sam Moon – singer, songwriter (Dartmouth, NS) “The Story..a must see! This is an amazing insight into the mind and heart of a true Maritime musical legend ….you actually find out what was behind the writing and discovery of the music that has been for so long a part of our lives.” |
