Matt The Electrician
Sure, he may sound like a bud coming over to rewire the breaker box, but Matt The Electrician is one of the hardest working voices in contemporary folk-pop. The Austin-based songwriter returns to his former home of Sonoma County to deliver his signature mix of wit, sincerity and finely crafted storytelling to Art Alley for a benefit concert supporting the Santa Rosa Urban Arts Partnership. Since the late 1990s, Matt Sever has quietly built a devoted following through a steady stream of albums filled with thoughtful observations and melodic warmth. Proceeds from the evening help support murals, workshops and other efforts aimed at keeping public art vibrant, accessible and woven into the fabric of Santa Rosa life. 6–8pm, Friday, June 19, at Art Alley, 312 South A St., Santa Rosa. $35.
