Wide-Eyed-Collective Artists
Hal Hixson
Hal Hixson's music reveals a background born out of the traditions of American folk and world cultures. His songs re-imagine the possibilities of acoustic music, creating an involving, evolving body of work that has proven compelling in any setting.
Hal's songs reflect a wide array of influences from around the world. He combines intricate guitar stylings with an evocative voice. His lyrical sensibilities produce abstract stories of mirth and madness and conjure unexpected images from a global range of sources.
Matt Thompson
Matt Thompson is a singer/songwriter who draws inspiration from a love of acoustic blues, rock and traditional country. He takes these influences and morphs them into a unique and interesting style he likes to call his own. He struggles to tell a story with honest emotion and confronts the task with a combination of rustic yet sometimes crushing acoustic and electric guitar.
On "No Death Rattle", with the subtle tweaking of Hal Hixson, Matt's straight-forward style and crisp vocal delivery are layered with light keyboard and percussive strokes to create a full picture for the listener.
Sheldon Marsh
After a year-long hiatus, Sheldon Marsh resurfaces with two new members and a bright new sound. Originally a trio comprised of Aaron MacCaughey and brothers, Mike and Chad Wojniak, SM decided to expand their musical horizons by adding bassist Randy Barnhardt and drummer Jason Gilliland. SM have traded in their acoustic guitars, organs and hand drums for a more electric, more stirring sound.
