2011 XPoNential Music Festival Local Spotlight: Matt Duke

The second artist on the Marina stage this year, Matt Duke brought his cool mix of rock, jazz, and folk to hardy XPoNential attendees. Raised in Philly and first signed to the local Drexel label, Duke has been building a large following after signing to major label Rykodisc and releasing some highly acclaimed LPs and EPs. Today, he’s playing from his latest, pulling out some great melodies on his acoustic guitar. Not a bad way to beat the heat–Matt Duke has some awfully cool tunes here at XPO. —Bekah Larsen

You can listen to the audio of the full performance here; videos will be available soon. Last month, Matt Duke came into the WXPN studio to record a Key Studio Session, which you can find here. Matt also appears on our new Key Studio Sessions 2011 XPoNential Music Festival Sampler (which also features exclusive tracks by Johnny Miles And The Waywards, Nicos Gun, Kuf Knotz, and Andrew Lipke).
