PRESS
Over the last 8
years, Matt Surowiec has built a solid reputation for
himself among and beyond the Western New York music community.
His talent, friendliness, positive attitude, and commitment to
advancing local music has earned Matt the respect of his
peers.
Have you ever
heard the expression "any press is good press as long as they
spell your name right"? In this case, maybe spelling the name
right isn't as tough as pronouncing it...so as a public
service in honor of our ancestors, we offer the correct
pronunciation...SIR-o-wick

ON THE AIR
TIME WARNER CROSSROADS A13 (formerly Adelphia
Crossroads) - hosted by Peter Anderson and
airing in the Western New York region, has invited Matt
Surowiec to perform live on their television program more
times than any other group/performer! Mr. Anderson coined the
phrase often used to describe Matt's unplugged sound - "folk with an
edge".
Matt has also made frequent appearances on the public access
programs "The Greg Sterlace Show" and "Home
of the Future TV" and with Eric Earsing has performed live on the
air at the WBNY 91.3FM "Glorified Rehearsal" radio
program.
Infinity Broadcasting Regional Program Director John L. Paul
described Matt's lyrics as "very real and very Buffalo".
Matt recently performed live on-air and was interviewed by
Tina Peel from Entercom Communications' 107.7FM The Lake in Buffalo, NY.
