BIOGRAPHY

Attention: Those interested in booking solo acoustic entertainment for their establishment.

As an independent businessperson, maybe you are tired of the sales pitches, sugar coating and overblown hype that are often offered to you when shopping for entertainment. i.e.: "Mr. Cow's exceptional artistry and grandiose stage persona are akin to and reminiscent of Wagnerian Opera, the entire Beatles catalogue performed by David Bowie and the New Years fireworks display at Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom all wrapped up into one prolific package." Uhmm Yeah…

If I were in your place, my three main concerns would probably be:

1. Can this cat deliver?
2. Are the songs decent?
3. Is this clown going to generate cash flow?

Yes. Yes. And Yes! In my sincere opinion (of course).

But, the hoops are there for a reason so... Included in this electronic portfolio you will find a brief synopsis of my musical education and experiences, a set list, promotional pictures and song samples. My goal has been to make this e-package as raw and honest as possible. I am not a salesman. I'm a musician.

Sincerely,
Matthew Wilson
"Corporate Cash Cow"
