Original Songs

Matthew’s songs that we include in our sets, in their studio-recorded forms. On the most recent, A Kiss at the Gate, Fred played the main guitar part (and wrote the melody). The earliest recording on the list, First Winter’s Day, is from 2015 with just Danny and Matthew, a live studio take (no overdubs) in Jon Gagan’s Electric Company. All mandolin parts are Danny’s.
