Matt Alber opens the ArtsUnited Performing Arts Series presented by RBC Wealth Management. Alber blends extraordinary, emotional nuance with impeccable vocal range and style. Following a tenure with the San Francisco-based classical ensemble, Chanticleer, winning two Grammy® Awards, Matt turned his attention to contemporary projects. In 2004 Alber released a self-produced album of experimental songs called Nonchalant with co-producer/writer Jeff Crerie at Utmosis in San Francisco. The duo became fast friends capturing the sounds of neighboring wind-chimes and borrowing banjo players from the park to create their neo art-songs on Macintosh computers. Within months Alber was signed by Tommy Boy as the first artist to their new imprint, Silver Label, and immediately began work refining his independent release into the full-length, Hide Nothing. Selected among the Top 8 albums of the 2009 by Audiofile, the album is resplendent with glitchy-orchestral romance (End of the World, Fieldtrip Buddy) and delves deep into the mystic (Rivers & Tides, Beotia) including an intimate re-telling of Imogen Heap's Hide & Seek. Alber's unfailing voice threads these songs together with a constant airy nuance close to the ears (and heart.) Many fans have come to know Matt through the achingly romantic 1960’s themed video of “End of the World” which won the OUT Music Awards Video of the Year for 2009 and was chosen as the number 1 gay music video of the 2009 by After Elton. Tickets for the performance are $15 general seating and available to pick up at Will Call the night of the show. A Cash Bar and Matt Alber Cd's will be available, and Matt will sign autographs after the show. www.mattalber.com
