Details:
Stole a train from New York City to San Francisco, wrote a few songs along the way. Met Clay Hawkins out there and built the studio where they recorded every tuesday night for a little over a year, over a few beers and with some good friends . "it's not a bad thing to do for a living, if it was just that easy ,it's not paying the bills just yet"-

Ed picked up a used guitar about 18 years ago and taught himself to play, getting tips from other musicians along the way- I think he paid about $150 bucks for that guitar, still has it to this day.

"I never thought of being a musician, it just kinda snuck up on me one day, and I figured, what the hell, just go for it"

I'll be playing the West coast in the winter of 05/06, and should be around the East later that Spring 06- Check out the website, edmattson.com ,which should be completed soon, for upcoming shows and other stuff- feel free to send me an email-
