The Music of Van Morrison

Matt Weidinger has put together a seven-piece band, including two horns, to reflect the sound for which Morrison is known. 

Born decades after Van Morrison was creating some of his most enduring music, singer-songwriter, Matt Weidinger, has a musical connection to the '60s and '70s, what he calls the golden age of record-making. Anyone who's seen him perform would agree with the "old soul" label, so it's particularly fitting that he's taking on the songs of an old soul master with his latest tribute to the music of Van Morrison.

It'll be something of a retrospective of Van the Man's extensive song catalogue, with a particular focus on the early stuff that was Weidinger's introduction to Morrison's brand of Celtic soul. In addition to singing and writing songs, he's a multi-instrumentalist, equally at home on the piano, organ, guitar, bass and mandolin.
