We would like to thank Martha and Paul Ross, whose generous support helps keep live music thriving on Cotuit’s stages.
“On the ivories, (think of) a hot-handed phenom who can go from Chopin to beer-drenched honky-tonk in one set... On guitar, a Jack Johnson-esque singer-songwriter... between his piano chops, charismatic stage presence, and heartfelt originals on guitar... he drops jaws.” - The Boston Globe
Many Cotuit audiences will be familiar with Matt as he has been a guest artist performing on our stage with Tom Rush for years. Matt will be joined by his band for one night only.
“[...] Between his piano chops, charismatic stage presence, and heartfelt originals on guitar, [Matt Nakoa] drops jaws.”, says The Boston Globe. From a small goat farm in Central NY, Matt trained as a concert pianist before attending Berklee College of Music as a vocalist. After school, Matt landed in NYC’s piano bar scene and began attracting capacity crowds each Saturday night. Now, toting multiple albums and songwriting awards, Matt tours internationally; recently performing at The White House and regularly with folk icon Tom Rush."
