Sounds in the Stacks: Matt Stone

Jazz guitar

Sounds in the Stacks is a series of community concerts at CALS branches that highlights local musicians with different musical backgrounds as they showcase their talent and skill in an intimate one-hour concert.

Sounds in the Stacks brings music to branch libraries to engage the community with local musicians and their talents. For ten months out of the year, there is one concert per month at a different library within CALS. Each of these concerts takes place in the midst of the books (stacks), in the open for all to enjoy. The intimate setting of the library affords the opportunity for the artist to have conversations with the patrons in attendance. They will share their feelings about pieces of music that they have chosen to play as well as their own original compositions. It’s this interaction that sets the series apart; think of it as a VH1 Storytellers but better.
