CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Hal Horowitz Recommends: Following in the footsteps of his buddy Eddie 9V, bluesy soulful Atlanta singer/guitarist Matlock moves from the noisy dive bars to this cozy listening room as he continues to cultivate a larger local following. It’s impressive progress especially since he has yet to record his debut studio album, although his frisky Live at Eddie’s Attic EP was released in 2018. But a high profile gig as William Bell’s guitarist surely helps with his recognition, so let’s support him on the way up. — HH
From the venue:
At just 23, Cody Matlock is already hailed as a widely-popular, seasoned veteran in Atlanta’s live music community having paid his dues gigging in the blues scene for nearly a decade. Increasingly a fixture at some of the Georgia’s most iconic blues halls, the soul singer-songwriter grew up on stage at Northside Tavern, Blind Willie’s, Fat Matt’s, Vinyl, Darwin’s, and the the DeSoto Theater (Rome), lighting up performances with a range of songs from graveyard blues classics to 90s hits to soulful originals. No matter the genre, era, or style, Cody infuses every song with a measure of soul, calling on influences like James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, and Prince.
