DESCRIPTION:
Scrapomatic, live at The Aggie Theater in Fort Collins, CO - 10/23/2010
(Opening for The Wood Brothers)

Scrapomatic is the side-project of Vocalist for The Derek Trucks Band, Mike Mattison. It features Mike on the vocals, and guitarist and vocalist Paul Olsen. On this tour (and maybe permanently??) they were accompanied by David Yoke, guitarist from The Susan Tedeschi Band.

For an opener, it doesn't get any better than this. Three dudes making some sick music. My first time seeing Scrapomatic, but knowing how much I love Mike Mattison and his work with DTB, I knew it had to be good... and it was. A great opening set of tunes.... then they returned later in the evening and all 3 members joined The Wood Brothers for part of the encore. It was great.....

You shoulda' been there......



(from Jambase.com: "Mike Mattison and Paul Olsen both hail from Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN. Schooled individually in jazz, roots and funk music, they began playing together in the mid-1990's and were recognized with Minnesota Music Award nominations for the best R&B group and best male vocalist. They decamped to Brooklyn and have stomped their feet through nearly every venue in the metropolitan area, including Carnegie Hall. In the near future, they plan to stomp on you. Outside of Scrapomatic, Paul is active as an ASCAP award-winning songwriter, producer and musical director. Mike sings for the Derek Trucks Band.")
