Unlike many a current singer/songwriter based projects DINNER WITH MATT GILCHREST puts the band first in its name and for good reason. The sound and style hit hard every time they step onto Austin stages like Hole in the Wall or Hotel Vegas. Their menu is a mix of lilted melodies and folky ditties within raging rockers that are as catchy as they are country, which is to say they aren't your grandpa's Honky Tonk band despite the fact that they've been known to don nudie suits. The band tosses their talent around the stage from the versatile vocal pipes and finger picking acoustic frontman to the manic driving solos of Mike Huff (Magic Rockers of Texas) back to the spacey bends and slides of Matt Gerhard (Warm Sugar). All these sounds are slathered over a tight rhythm section of Jesse Berkowitz (I Am The Albatross) and Stijn Dobbelaere (Go Fever) that keeps fans dancing then wrapped around Gilchrest's thought provoking lyrics, which much like his paintings and posters you may have seen around town are beautiful, grotesque, and often hilarious. DINNER keeps you on your toes and your ear guessing if the next notes will be sweet delicacies or chunky grinds. Either way, when they're finished you won't be needing dessert.
