Jay Matthes 'Dancing After Dark'

Milwaukee-based artist ​Jay Matthes' Dancing After Dark is a twelve track collection of well-crafted heartfelt tunes that truly connect with the listener.​  The album begins with "Drinking From The Bottle," a mid-tempo shuffling ode to lost love and what once was. From there, Matthes turns in a touch of soul on "Good Lookin' Woman" a tune about making an evening last longer than one night; looks forward to a life in the country on the back porch number, "Bees and Chickens"; and reminds us to remember that life can indeed be full of riches "it's all in your perspective just how poor you want to be" on the affirming "Golden."

Relationships come front and center on the romantic "Keeps Me Close To You," the serene "She Holds On To Me" and personal favorite "If You Ever Come Back Down" where there's hope for the reuniting of two souls. Dancing In The Dark is rounded out with the rollicking "Left The Yard" a tune about love ending dirty that's highlighted by piano and electric guitar; the intensely emotional title track about the passing of his father and the optimistic, 70's inspired feel of "Everything Will Be OK." 

With Dancing After Dark, Matthes gives us a record that deals with life's relatable ups and downs, making you realize that blessings come in every shape and size and indeed, that everything will usually work out in the end. For more information visit HERE.
