Matt Gerovac (5/22/05)



I first heard of Matt Gerovac when my pseudo-former-roomie John had mentioned him to me. Other than the fact that he was "cute" and "good" I didn't know much else. Well, this weekend I went home to visit the family, missing the Hessler Street Fair, a great little hippy fair by CWRU and the Barking Spider Tavern. That Sunday night was the Keane show at the Scene Pavilion. This is their THIRD time here, and I've been unable to see them both times prior. By the time I got into town, with my mood and the weather the way they were, I just decided to skip it.

I did however get a call from my friend Leo saying that our friend Amanda was playing at the BST. I thought that sounded more my speed for that evening. Amanda had just finished up by the time I got there, so I said "hi" to Leo and took a stroll through what remained of the Hessler Street Fair. I got back just in time to see Matt Gerovac.

Boy does this white boy have a groove! Leo even claimed that he sounded a lot like Prince, and coming from him, that is not slack comparison! In fact, with the knowledge of I have of the Barking Spider, I would venture to say that the Spider was jamming like it never has before! Combine the masses of people there, with plenty of meandering pooches, then add a jam like Matt was turning out... you have one hell of a party! People even moved tables out of the way so they could dance!

It was such a great energy there that night. I don't think I could have made a better choice.
