Jericho Gap chronicles the dark and forgotten side

Jericho Gap is the brand new album from Mat D.

The album was produced by Mark Dahm at the Warehouse Recording Studio for the independent label SMC Records. Mat is joined by longtime bandmate Jeff Deignan on drums and percussion alongside bass guitarist Scott Walters and lead guitarist Jason Haven.

Jericho Gap chronicles the dark and forgotten side of the "Mother Road" - specifically West Texas, Nevada, Arizona and the California sections of Route 66. The songs chronicle lost love, the forsaken and down-trodden ghost towns populated with old spirits and a cast of characters from the wrong side of the tracks. The album takes a rootsy rock n roll direction with a healthy dose of old blues, country, folk and southern gospel influences. Mat's signature Hard Luck Americana and Bad Man Ballad styled lyrical and vocal delivery is brought to life by the driving rhythm section of Walters and Deignan showcasing the the hard edged and melodic guitar work of Jason Haven.
