"Best Singer-Songwriter (Male)"

Matt Durfee:

He won the Lark Tavern songwriting contest this spring, and we have to agree with the judges—Matt Durfee’s enchanting, reflective songs are drawn around complex, finger-picked acoustic-guitar lines, like a cross between American Beauty (Grateful Dead) and Nick Drake’s Five Leaves Left. Too interesting to be lumped into the pop category, too smart for the freak-folk boom, Durfee is in a category all his own

"Best Unknown Artist 2006"

Best Unknown Artist - Matt Durfee Matt Durfee is a solo singer songwriter that is kicking around the Capital region crafting very good songs with very good acoustic guitar playing. He has a very good voice and is a pleasure to listen to. This guy is so unknown that he doesn't have a demo or a website. So look for his name listed at a venue website or at Albanystage.com for his appearances...check em out! We like him alot.
