Matt Flinner Trio

Multi-instrumentalist Matt Flinner has made a career out of playing acoustic music in new ways. Starting out as a banjo prodigy who was playing bluegrass festivals before he entered his teens, Flinner later took up the mandolin, won the banjo contest at Winfield Kansas in 1990, and took the mandolin award there the following year.

Flinner is now widely considered one of the hottest mandolin players on the acoustic scene. His debut solo release The View From Here drew on such diverse inspirations as Miles Davis, David Grisman and Celtic artists the Bothy Band, and was one of the most highly praised acoustic albums of the year. In the words of Bluegrass Now, Flinner's debut was "a musical feast for the ears."

The Matt Flinner Trio features Matt on mandolin, Eric Thorin on bass and Ross Martin on guitar. On this tour they continue the concept of "Music du Jour," in which they include songs each evening that they wrote earlier in the day as inspired by their surroundings. Last year the trio challenged to one another to write a new tune each day while on tour and perform it that evening. The players each rose rapidly to meet the challenge, and the tunes composed over the course of three Western tours show the depth and inspiration of these performers. Released in the spring of 2009, the album "Music du Jour" (Compass) has received critical acclaim.

Although he lives in Nashville these days, Flinner believes that his early years spent in the Rocky Mountains had a very real impact on his music. "There's an American harmony in classical music that's this big wide-open sound -- Aaron Copeland's work, for example," Flinner says. "So I think there could be something to that, that your surroundings reflect your music."
