Matt Searing: Lead Vocals / Guitar

Matt learned to sing harmony with his siblings from their Dad on trips from Brooklyn to Shoreham in a '66 Chevy Impala. A self-taught and self-proclaimed rhythm (only) gutiarist, Matt has been singning lead in bands since the age of 12. A singer songwriter for many years on the original music scene, Matt dabbled in the Funk and Soul arenas with acts such as the now defunct Soul Shakers and Funky in the Middle. Matt was an original member of the Steely Dan Tribute "Stealin Dan" and performs at a variety of events with the band Body and Soul. Matt has also been a solo acoustic performer on the Dune Road summer scene for many years boasting a repertoire of nearly 2000 songs! Something to suit almost all musical tastes.  This  "Vocal Chameleon"  often has people asking if an "unplugged" CD is playing.

Matt is thrilled to be working with such fabulous musicians and friends who share the love and the challenge that comes with being a part of this new tribute to one of the greatest pop-rock acts in history.  He teaches high school social studies in Selden and lives in Manorville with his wonderful wife and two sons.
