Biography

-2010-

“There is absolutely no doubt that a young North Carolina hepcat named Matt Hill is doing just exactly what he was cut out to do in his life... and that’s storm on stage, grab his small Danelectro guitar, throw the switch and slam some of that good ol’ down home devil’s music, the blues, and rock ‘em on down for all he’s worth. This Greensboro-based blues artist is not only a fierce performer but also is one of the hottest, most talked about and most overwhelming stage personalities there is, any-damn-where.
... Hill will go into his ritualistic finale where he pleads and begs the audience and metamorphs into his Ernest Angley fire-and-brimstone floor exercise, usually pouncing onto a chair or table, or will low crawl along with his guitar moaning, winding up in the fetal position while the crowd is making a hasty decision on whether to flip, flop or fly and look around to see if anyone else is worried, too...”
— Mike “the Nighthawk” Floyd, Borderline

“I believe that this CD will soon be known as Matt Hill’s breakout, and you’ll re-read these liner notes and smile “I knew it too!” Will Matt really rise to the top from On The Floor? I think so, because he has the showmanship, the voice, the guitar playing, the songs -- the magnetic energy to be today’s Blues and Rock ‘n’ Roll star.
With his band, The Buzzkillz, and featured on my shows, he drives audiences crazy. A stage can’t contain him, he raves from the floor, carrying on the “whatever it takes” boundless stage antics of our recently-departed musical hero, Nappy Brown.“
— Bob Margolin, from the liner notes
