A profound and dynamic connection to the natural world is the hallmark of Matthew’s music.   There is an inherent sense of humor in Matthew’s songs which is the product of a life such lived. With one foot in the world of human kind and the other in the realm of the mystic, the music of Matthew O’Neill bridges the senses and intuition, encouraging its listeners to tune in and be accountable for their truest nature.  

His debut album on Lone Pine Records, “Campfire Cook”, brings together Matthew’s extensive musical history, with intimate acoustic pieces amidst more extended “passionate, trance-induced song explorations.”  Known for an unrepentant, raw guitar sound, his solos bring us to the edge of our seats..  and the very edge of our known sonic vocabulary.  Matthew, as an artist, stands apart from his musical contemporaries as a feral and unapologetic songwriter, combining frequencies of both ancient and modern sound with lyrics of wild abandon.
