“A Matt Woods show is show isn’t merely a whiskey-fueled half hour set of songs, it’s in-your-face theater–sometimes verging on a public exorcism–that draws the audience in like a constricting (or comforting) hug.

He dismantles his ego piece by piece, until finally, at the end, the very symbol of a stage or a man standing on it is obliterated and he is on eye and street level again.” – Wild American Radio
