Omaha musician Matt Cox will be releasing his fourth album, Tracks In The Sound, on Sunday July 3rd, 2011 at The Waiting Room Lounge. Cox will be performing on this night with his full band and will be billed as The Matt Cox Band. Also on the bill are The Filter Kings and The Mezcal Brothers. Tickets for this all ages show are $7 and can be purchased at the door on the night of the event. The show will begin at 9PM. Matt Cox has been winning over audiences all over the Midwest and beyond for since his first release “Folkers Travels” in 2007. He is an artist than can be put in front of country, roots, blues, indie, song-writer, and folk audiences and win each one over simply with his aged beyond his years pure vocals and honest storytelling and song-writing. While he has been pigeonholed into many genres over the years, he would describe himself as an Americana artist that has been influenced by the long tradition of raw and genuine musicians that came before himself. Cox’s new album, Tracks In The Sound, is the first fully realized with his band of experienced musicians that include Seth Ondracek on bass, Ben Zinn on electric guitars, Nick Semrad on piano, and Andrew Tyler on drums. This has allowed Cox to flesh out his sound more and try his hand at songs written specifically with the band in mind. A versatile artist, Matt Cox can enthrall audiences with his band, and equally as a solo artist with just a guitar and harmonica. With the band one can expect a full on roots rock romp, and solo he is the quintessential front porch troubadour. In 2010, Cox was honored with an award for Best Americana at Omaha Entertainment & Arts Awards. He was also a multiple OEAA nominee in 2009 (including being nominated for Album of the Year for “My Last Dollar”). Tracks was recorded in Lincoln at Fuse Recording with producer Charlie Johnson (Mezcal Brothers). Cox said of the recording experience, “(it) was incredibly smooth and the band was loose and on their game, I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.” - Bryce Wergin, Hear Nebraska
