Matt Heckler, 'I Tried' // GemsOnVHS™

Показать описание
This is the age of Heckler. His ascension to a GemsOnVHS favorite has been swift and well deserved. Throughout the past two years we have followed him across the globe, from Tennessee with Benjamin Tod, his North Carolina home, all the way to the foggy shores of Ireland. We're documenting an immense talent and dedication to craft Matt has displayed without fail. Artists can be, let's say... unpredictable. Though Matt, his his high-lonesome, soaring vocals, fiery right hand and positive attitude, we come to know we can expect a level of perfection and reliability few others seem to posses. He is a good man and damn fine writer.

The lack of touring in 2020 hasn't stopped him from pushing creative limits. Not long ago we created this recording with him, when he stopped by White's Creek, Tennessee, after a recording session with the always busy Dan Emery of Anti-Corp fame. That album (and the one this song is on) dropped this year, and I highly recommend a listen, if you love these wailing tunes and crazy thumbing by Matt. On this particular recording, Matt was playing an incredibly bass-banjo I loved. I was passing by this wildflower field every day on the way to GemsOnVHS HQ and thought it'd be a great natural setting to play some songs. Plus, the background matched the Heckler hair quite well.
