The Adventures of Matte Black is a hardworking and deep thinking Factory Western Gothic Americana Steampunk Folk Rock band led by NJ native Madison Gerish & Maryland based Daniel Skinner, featuring a rotating line-up of their intrepid traveling friends. With an emphasis on original music, Madison's philosophical, vulnerable and disarming compositions dance with Daniel's subtle, yet moving melodies, all while leaving space for their talented caravan of musical comrades. The original music is rooted in deep improvisation and an emphasis on being courageous when facing the absurdities of life.
