Matthew R. Smith Trio

We’d like to welcome our new drummer Tom Saltarelli!

Tom has been playing drums professionally for over forty years. He has traveled the world playing cruise ships, hotels, casinos and has performed in numerous bands playing both original music and covers.

We’re very excited and happy to be back playing and rehearsals with Tom have been going great. We are on our way to playing out again and looking to set up a gig in the fall to get rolling. A third album is written and we will be recording and releasing it sometime next year.

Never stop!

We had such a great time playing at yesterday. The place was packed and we appreciate all of the positive responses from everybody. So many people came up to us with very sincere compliments about our playing and music, it really means a lot. This was one of the most special gigs I have ever played because my precious, beautiful niece Reyla was there. I wrote her a song called “Reyla’s Lullaby” for her first birthday earlier this year and we were able to play it live for her. She loves music and was enamored the whole time. Isn’t she just the cutest?
