This twenty-one year old New Jersey native is quickly making his mark in the music industry. His gift for poetic and inspiring lyrics plus stirring melodies has led to some of the most captivating music on the airwaves today. Matt Duke brings us Winter Child, his full-length debut album. You won't find a sour note or a misplaced word on this folk-rock phenomenon's gem of a release.

Winter Child features contributions by musicians such as Marshall Crenshaw, Brad Roberts (of Crash Test Dummies) and Suzie Roche (of The Roches), plus others. But the shining star of this album is Matt Duke's signature songwriting style.

This album is not to be missed.

This CD was passed along to me from a friend. I listened to the CD from begining to end and found it to be excellent! Matt has some compiled some great tunes for your easy listening experience.

Oysters - has some great lyrics, fun up beat song, one of my favorite on the album. My favorite is Don't Ask, i love the chorus in this song.

If your looking for the Singer/Songwriter acoustic style that is simple fun and upbeat then this is a great CD for you...

Check it out and kudos to you Matt Duke!

For any lover of soft, folk, or acoustic rock this CD is an absolute must have. Duke's emotive delivery is channelled into the CD expertly while also keeping each track individual, distinct, and varying from mainstream pop. From Oysters which has more of a rock feel to Tidal Waves and the Love You'll Never Know which have more of a folk feel, you can sense Duke's personal presence in each track. The CD covers such a broad range of styles it is impossible not to love.

I heard Matt Duke perform over the summer, and ran across the cd... IT IS AWESOME! Great sounds are unique and refreshing with guitar licks not to be missed. The only thing that will make me take the cd out of my stero is Matt Duke's second album! You should snatch up the cd now, so you can' say "I knew him when."

I was in the record store one day and happened upon this Matt Duke album. I saw the cover and thought "he's cute, he must can sing, I'll buy it!" I just so happens it's one of the best decisions I made! The first song just caught me "Oysters." His voice is amazing! The whole album is great. There's a hidden track 2 minutes after the end of the last song too. Also get his second album Kingdom Underground, more great music and he's also really good live :)

A different sound than the usual these days. A lot of feeling in the insightful words and original sound, more sophisticated musical arrangements than many. Very passionate live performer too, I've read, which is why I am looking forward to seeing him in Quakertown, PA on the 17th. (It's at 3p and free.) A very nice listen as primary or even background music to a gathering. Very fresh in approach. Instead of getting tired of the songs, you'll catch yourself singing them to yourself later. He has a loyal following at Drexel University and around the Philly scene. I expect even better things to come.

Great CD! Matt Duke is a new young star. If you like Damien Rice or some of the other independent acoustic artists...you will like Matt Duke.
