Live at the Gantries: Mathew Snow & the Way It Was August 16, 2011

Singer/Songwriter Mathew Snow draws his bluesy grit from a northeastern Ohio upbringing, while guitarist (and Japanese native) Hiro Suzuki plays like an old soul from New Orleans in the 1960s. Drummist Matt Olley and bassist Chris Lavas sharpened their skills growing up in the Long Island indie rock scene. They all eventually found their way to NYC and with a little bit of luck, they crossed paths in Astoria, NY and formed what is now the foot-stomping blues-rock sound of Mathew Snow & the Way It Was.

Live at the Gantries is a series of six free outdoor concerts on the waterfront featuring Queens-based musical groups.
