The CD release party celebrating Matthew Price’s first album Stranded turned into a two-for-one night at Salem’s Historic Grand Theater.
Opening for Matthew Price was fellow singer/songwriter Justin Jude. Although Justin did a fine job of warming up the crowd with a partial collection of his own original songs, this night belonged to Matthew Price.
Matthew played all the songs on his new CD and then went on to show off some of his newly written material that is surely destined for his next album. Aside from the great music, it was just as enjoyable watching Matthew stop between each song to express genuine appreciation to all those involved in his success, giving some insight into his songwriting process.
Although Matthew performed a few songs solo, he was backed by some real musical pros: Rob Stroup on drums and percussion, bassist John Preis, and Nate Hagen on lead guitar.
