Welcome to the site of Northamptonshire based musician Matt Stevenson.
About
I’m an Independent Musician in the Northamptonshire area of England. Since September 2015 I have been busy composing and recording a ‘portfolio’ of tracks, some of which are available to hear for free on Youtube or on the Facebook page. My music has been played on local radio and I have appeared at local Theatres and venues both solo and as part of larger ensembles. My most recent major concert was held at The Core @ Corby Cube. See here for pictures, and two video clips from the night can be found here and here.
