magic show

put on a concert at magic mountain on saturday for church public affairs. it was really a lot of fun. really made me miss helping my dad put on concerts in salt lake ...

anyway ... the show was a lot of fun. and the line-up was ... (yes, i stole the bio's from our mc's script. but only because i am lazy.) ...

matt abernathy (i loved this guy -- you should check him out)

our first performer recently attended an alex boye' workshop for musicians in salt lake city, utah, where artists were privileged to learn powerful performance insights. an audition was held at the conclusion of the workshop, with the winner having the opportunity to perform here at magic mountain today. matt abernathy was chosen due to his unique earthy style and powerful raw vocal talent.

for this singer/songwriter, there's truly no greater privilege than to unleash his deeply sincere and well crafted original songs; born to reflect a deliberate celebration of life's triumphs, as well as its sometimes very difficult trials.

the musical climate in america is a far cry from his birthplace on an island in the south china sea. matt abernathy is the product of a vibrant & complex culture. "hong kong will always be home to me," says matt. "it's hard to not miss my 20 years in the far east. there's simply no place like it anywhere." abernathy is fluent and literate in two chinese dialects, mandarin and cantonese.

after moving to america, matt abernathy performed as a solo act in many venues throughout the san francisco bay area. occasionally his vocal talent brought him to sing the lead with various members of the marshall tucker and elvin bishop bands. he has also been featured on two southern utah singer/songwriter association special edition cd's and has performed on kutv news in utah. he is very thankful for the opportunity to be part of this magic mountain concert and grateful to all who are in attendance!
