I have been listening and giving my two cents on music longer than I care to mention. It takes a lot to get a "wow" out of me. Matt Mayer gets a "wow" out of me every time. Matt is fresh, original and always surprising. His music makes you listen then it makes you feel. Today, when so much of what we listen to feels constructed, Matt reminds you that the best music is the product of brain and heart and nerves and fingers. What Matt plays comes from him." "And watching him play is another story all together. He approaches the piano like a hungry man looking for a meal. With a smile that says 'I love this' and a swagger that says 'I am going to show you something you've never seen before.' "Matt Mayer is a star ready to shine."

It seems like a lot of artists are concerned about creating music that fits a niche - music for massage, music that soothes, music that uplifts, etc. - and then there are those who throw classifications to the wind and just follow their passions. Matthew Mayer is one such artist.

Truly amazing original work. This artist continues to grab me with everything he creates. If you're sad...there's a song for you. If you're happy...there's a song for you. Truly looking forward to his next project.

"When we set out to create an educational/transformational experience for women, we knew we had to find a way to touch the heart. Matthew's music does that and so much more! Everyone who has heard his music asks me how to order a CD. They want to surround themselves with the beauty."
Sue McKenzie - Impact Health, Heart of a Woman Program, Wisconsin
"I find Mr. Mayer's music to be exceptionally soothing and healing with children experiencing symptoms of Autism, Aspergers, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder and any other little soul that walks in my office.

This CD (Beyond) is without a doubt one of the best solo piano CD's I've listened to. I first heard Matthew while listening to Whisperings Solo Piano Radio. His song "The Burning Candle" played and I was an instant fan. I have since listened to the remainder of his CD and am in awe of his talent and style. As a fellow musician, I am inspired and awestruck.

I love solo piano music. Beyond stands out as one of the best I've heard. If you like early George Winston (Autumn, December, Winter Into Spring) or David Nevue, check out Matthew Mayer - you won't be disappointed.
