| | Matt Schwarz Lost Way CD Matt Schwarz Discography of CDs
"The Lost Way" is a mix of British (and one Swedish)traditional ballads and original folk songs influenced by late 60's/early 70's British folk music by the likes of Bert Jansch (Pentangle), Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Dave Cousins (Strawbs). ... Full Description The acoustic guitar & vocal approach is enriched by arrangements involving flute, female vocals, cello, and such. Five of the album's songs are Matt Schwarz originals, with varying styles: the bouncy, crowd-pleasing title track, with it's English fairy tale lyrics; the modern folk of "Seasons", the Celtic-influenced, poetic "I Long To Feel A Gentle Breeze"; the haunting, chromatic "To The Distant Beloved"; and the multi-part mini-epic "The Faerie Queene". These songs focus on the guitar/vocal arrangements of Matt's live performances, with a couple mandolin contributions by Sacred Fool's Steve Klem and occaisional flute. Matt also includes two original instrumentals - the medieval-sounding guitar solo "The Woode So Wylde" and the Irish-influenced flute solo "Farewell & Fare-thee-well", written in memory of Matt's grandfather, David Curtis Amidon. The remaining 4 songs are traditional. "Scarborough Faire" features a duet with Cheryl Bonnie Filipak (whose lovely soprano was a part of Sacred Fool for a while), and is accompanied only by the haunting drone of the dulcimer. "Robin Hood & Little John" is a bouncy, 7-minute centuries-old epic ballad. Matt illustrates the tale with a jig and reel on the flute for the quarterstaff battle and a gentle mandolin solo for the slow part. The overall effect is reminiscent of a Fairport Convention epic ballad, with the rock elements taken back out! "Little Katie" again features a duet with Bonnie, with harmony flutes and guest Todd Lanka on 'cello. The medieval feel of this ancient Scandinavian narrative ballad is emphasized by the use of harp in place of guitar. "Lord Lovel" is a lovely tragic ballad, richly arranged with contrapuntal harmony flutes and 'cello. Matt Schwarz is a founding member of progressive hard rock/metal band Sleepy Hollow, in which he shares vocal duties and plays guitars, flute, and (on the new disc GOIN' OVER) harp. He has deep love and interest in folk/traditional music, classical & early music, and heavy metal. The style of progressive rock, which Matt has been influential in pushing Sleepy Hollow towards, allows him the freedom to mix these styles at will. Since 2003 was a slow year for Sleepy Hollow, Matt used the time to pursue his folkier side in more depth. He began performing solo gigs centered around traditional songs and a number of original acoustic songs, as well as forming acoustic band Sacred Fool with 12-string guitarist Steve Klem. Matt also began recording THE LOST WAY, featuring his original folk songs and some traditional songs (mostly ones he'd done some lush arrangements for in his folky days prior to joining Sleepy Hollow in the late 90's).

LAIBLE BEN MOSHE Folk rocker gives a new beat to a time-honored message Spearheading one of the latest trends in Jewish music, Laible Ben Moshe’s music is highly diversified and spans the range from country, folk, blues and rock to chazonos in a very original form. “Many of us grew up listening to Jewish music other than traditional chaszonos-based,” said Iran Buckman, a New Jersey club producer. “As adults, we were looking for those familiar melodic strains and beats that could also give us a strong Jewish identity and message. “When I opened my café-style club -- ROCK BA LAILA in Teaneck, NJ -- last year, which in itself is innovative and unique, I chose Laible Ben Moshe as the premier performer because of his unparalleled mastery of this quality of music, of which I had been seeking .”Laible is a virtuoso guitarist and the lead vocalist of the BAAL T’SHUVA BOOGIE BAND, which he founded 15 years ago upon his arrival into Yiddishkeit. Before that he was known as Michael Loren, a highly successful and sought after entertainer on radio and television. In Florida, he appeared in the Jewish Vaudeville Theatre and in the major hotels ...

I graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree with a piano teaching emphasis. I soon started teaching private piano lessons and I still teach today. During the last couple years of college, through a series of happenings, I finally learned what it meant to have a relationship with Jesus Christ and I gave my life to Him. From that point on, it was evident to me why I had such a strong desire to learn everything I could about music.I started writing songs for worship almost immediately after becoming a follower of Jesus. Most of the songs I wrote were shaped from the different things that I was experiencing and learning. In 1984 I met a very special friend, Chris Meade, my co-partner in song writing. ...
