What an incredible honor it was to have local Encinitas legend Jared Mattson (Mattson 2) and his new trio with Tony Ferraro (Toro Y Moi) and Joe Lyle (No Pulp Records New Orleans). Also bringing 91x's Tim Pyles was a dream come true.   

Jared began writing his solo work during the pandemic, while his twin brother dove into being a killer booking agent. Jonathan booked their 35 show tour they are on now even though the album doesn't come out until sometime next year on Chaz Bears label Company Records.  

We were very lucky to be the first ones to document this monumental triumph that is the Jared Mattson trio. Tim Pyles makes a reference to The Police about Jared's new sound that puts him over the moon to hear. The powerful blend of reggae and an indescribable sound that is unique to the Mattson clan is inspiring and a breath of fresh air in an age when a lot of music can start to sound redundant.   

These gentleman are not only virtuosic in their playing but also are some of the sweetest humans we have the pleasure of knowing. To quote Victor Wooten's mother "What does the world need with another great musician? There are plenty. What the world needs are great people."   

It's safe to say that this project is going to go far with their original sound and awesome attitudes. The barn was full of love and good times on this magical evening. Go see Jared Mattson in a town near you, you won't want to miss this experience of a lifetime. Also if your in New Orleans go to No Pulp Records and get your dig on.
