SUMMARY:The Suitcase Junket

There’ll be plenty of songs tonite from Lorenz' six previous albums as well.  The Suitcase Junket developed in the tension between the grand and the solitary. Grand in imagery\, sound\, and staging. Solitary in thrift and self-reliance. NPR calls Matt Lorenz a "master of musical imagination." What instruments he requires\, Lorenz builds from scratch and salvage. What parts five players would perform\, he performs alone. The spectacle of his one-man set bears comparison to legends of showmanship\, brilliance\, madness\, and invention. While audiences are captivated by that solitary form and the show itself\, Lorenz\, who homesteads in Western Massachusetts\, is most serious about the songs. Over the course of six full-length releases\, including the latest The End is New from Renew Records at BMG\, he has written a world into existence\, crowded with characters\, narratives\, voices\, imagery\, sounds as wide and varied as mountain throat singers and roadhouse juke boxes\, plus newsreels of the planet's destruction and salvage. More songs are coming.  SAMPLE SONG “A living\, breathing\, throat-singing\, road-tested\, avant-garde\, one-man-band who is in a state of perpetual motion… gutsy\, fuzzed-out\, groove-laden psych rock.” – National Public Radio  "Now this is the shit I'm talking about\, Jack. The Suitcase Junket is a lo-fi\, low-tuned\, low-down blast of end-times folk blues. It's crude; it's magnificent. With a stage set-up that resembles a junkyard foley stage or Fred Sanford's living room\, The Suitcase Junket — one man band leader Matt Lorenz — incants and intones like a cross between Hound Dog Taylor and a Tuvan throat singer who has swallowed a bird. Take the singer-songwriter idiom\, give it a low grade fever and a guitar and this is what you get. Captivating\, mesmerizing\, and gone … real gone." – Rochester City Newspaper  “Jaw-dropping… It’s the biggest sound I’ve ever heard come from a solo performer. Matt is definitely his own thing and it is something. The live experience is pretty\, darn unforgettable.” — Beale Street Caravan "Bluesy guitar riffs\, tenacious melodies and a singing voice both weathered and nimble. You don’t need to witness his physics-defying performance to be captivated; the music stands on its own… astonishing." – WBUR Boston Stream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.
