Very sorry about this and highly regret that he never got to play this area (that I know of).
 
 The man had a beautiful voice and good songs.
 
 Our loss.   :confused:

a great songwriter with a better-than-average band backing him up.  i can't figure out why he never came over here...but he always put on a good show.

He did make it across the Atlantic but on a very limited basis. I know he opened for Doves for some of their shows during their 2001 tour when we got stuck with the fucking Webb Brothers.   :roll:  
 
 Odd, it was only about a month or two ago that I was trying to remember his last name because I wanted to hear some of his music and all I could come up with was Matthew Sweet, which I knew was a completely different person.
