Bio
In the twenty plus years that Matthew Carlson has been writing songs and playing in and out of bands, he has always been entrenched in the raw art of musical storytelling. From his art-rock days as a founding member of East Lansing's Third Uncle to his americana.indie.pop exploits in The Pantones and now his current stint in Garage Rock/Power-Pop stalwarts The Stick Arounds, Carlson has trafficked in literate themes, threadbare lyrical intensity and a stunningly honest portrayal of himself and the world around. As Harborcoat, Carlson takes that acute storyteller's eye and accompanies it with rollicking Americana melded with power pop hooks, blue collar guitars and lush arrangements.
