Bend It Like Beck — Frank Koren and Chris Wheeler (guitars), Andrew Marshall (bass) Matt Burns (drums) and Miles Evans-Branagh (keys) originally began as a one-off tribute to Jeff Beck for a fundraiser. The chemistry was undeniable, and quickly grew into something more than a tribute. Wheeler and Koren had some rough sketches of songs that could be laid down in a “Beck-ish” style. The players from the tribute performance were on board and the band entered Boxcar Studio in Hamilton and recorded six songs live-off-the-floor. The end result is All Roads Lead To E. The album is available on Apple Music and Spotify and a limited run of vinyl. Now BILB is an ongoing live phenomenon, performing original music project in the grand tradition of Mr Beck and other guitarists.
Matty Simpson is a world-class guitar player and singer-songwriter based out of Hamilton, Ontario. His style has been called an eclectic mix of rock and rhythm and blues. He performs with Justine Fischer in The Matty Simpson Band and collaborates with music friends around town and southern Ontario. He toured as lead guitar in the rock band Holding Sky and joined the Fred Eaglesmith Traveling Show fulltime tour around the world for several years. Matty Simpson has crafted a unique sound blending roots with influences of rock, folk and southern rock and blues. From an early age, Matty has had an appreciation for good music. He grew up listening to artists such as Nirvana, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Kate Bush and many other diverse musicians. His mother's interest in world travel and his father's love of music meant that as a child there were always guitars and other exotic instruments available at Matty's fingertips. Always being surrounded by music has had a profound impact on his current songwriting style which is a mixture of the 60s/70s/90s and modern music.
