"He's a sweeter version of Richard Buckner and deserves every bit of success." --Jay Sweet, Paste Magazine"
- Paste Magazine
Western Massachusetts has produced a steady supply of talented musicians, and scene veteran Matthew Hebert has earned a spot at the forefront with the first album from his latest project, Haunt. As Blue as Your Dying Eyes is a collection of elegant, rootsy tunes marked by gritty electric guitar fills and subtle vocal harmonies as Hebert ponders life with a world-weary air that's as much a part of New England as colorful autumn foliage.
He sings in a tousled voice that sounds like it has known the loving touch of whiskey, sighing over the past on "Run Run Run," wondering at his own behavior on "Poisoner" and singing with quiet, earnest devotion on "Love Song," which aired on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. All in all, a collection that will leave you marveling at its finesse with no time to be blue. —Eric R. Danton - Performing Songwriter Review

Bio
Haunt is a project from the ex-frontman of The Ware River Club, Matthew Hebert.
Recent TV/Film placements include: feature-length film, Anderson's Cross (Illumination Pictures, Inc) and, "How I Met Your Mother" (CBS, Monday Nights).
Hebert has irrefutably earned his place among well-known luminaries and one-time residents of where he calls home, Western Massachusetts. (i.e.: Joe Pernice, Lou Barlow and David Berman).
His well-placed lyrics, vocal rasp and bitter-sweet chords have toured the U.S. many times over and supported such artists as The Jayhawks, Dave Alvin, Marah, Blue Rodeo, Emmy Lou Harris, Bob Mould, Daniel Johnston, Richard Buckner and The Allman Brothers.
Haunt's, As Blue As Your Dying Eyes, was recorded at Spirithouse Studios by Danny Bernini (Sonya Kitchell, Reed Fohel, Erin McKeown,) and was released on APRIL 3rd, 2007.
