My friend and drumbox buddy Garry Myers and I have launched a new combo endeavor called: Treble Clef. We will be playing 'Outside the Box' of Church when we get the chance and will be posting our gigs and setlists online. Check it out here:

This past Saturday, August 23rd, I had the pleasure of playing in one of the most delightful music events of the summer—the Treble Clef Band's performance at Uptown Music's Saturday Sound Sessions. The atmosphere was casual, filled with the sounds of live music and the energy of enthusiastic customers and staff. This event was meant to showcase local talent and also to highlight the positive impact of music on community spirit. As I entered Uptown Music, a wave of excitement washed over me. The warm ambiance of the space as well as the friendly staff, combined with the anticipation of the performance, set a welcoming stage for our performance. The Treble Clef Band performing on stage at Uptown Music Looking ahead, I am excited to share that the Treble Clef Band will be returning to Uptown Music for what promises to be a fun Christmas gig. Keep an eye out for our upcoming shows, and let’s continue to support live music in our communities. These moments enrich our lives and bring us together in celebration of creativity and artistry. Until next time, keep the music playing!

Music shapes our development even in the womb! Today is my birthday and an article in the Epoch Times two days ago inspired me to post a little personal and general information about how music shapes our development in the womb and beyond! From the article entitled: https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/how-music-shapes-us-before-birth-relieves-pain-and-improves-focus-5809052?ea_src=frontpage&ea_cnt=a&ea_med=top-news-5-top-stories-0-title-0 , the author, Emma Suttie, D. ac, AP, stated the following - " Music has been a long companion of humanity, with evidence that it played a role in daily life as early as 40,000 years ago. "It’s a powerful force that can shape our thoughts and feelings, unlock memories, and strengthen social bonds. Science has explored music’s influence on us—from enhancing cognitive function to boosting our mood. "Emerging research reveals how the earliest encounters with music may shape our development. At the same time, scientists are uncovering unique aspects of how music affects our pain perception and ways it can improve our focus and concentration—deepening our understanding of its healing capabilities. " I for one, certainly agree with Emma! When I was in music school a little over 40 years ago, I took a series of courses involving music therapy as they were part of a music teaching curriculum. It was known then that music had therapeutic abilities and aspects that no other art form can rival. Since it involves the mind, heart, and spirit, it can be a powerful tool to help people get through personal crises as well as everyday stressors. There is mention in the article of several therapeutic aspects including: Reduction of pain Improvement of mood Increase in cognitive ability Decrease in anxiety for prenatal mothers It is AMAZING how God in His wisdom created us to respond to beauty in many different ways. I will mention one caveat: The music discussed in the article was melodic, rhythmic and pleasing to the senses. There was no mention of heavy metal, acid rock, or rap as being therapeutic. Sorry fringe folks! Remember that in certain environments, music has powerful healing attributes! Music can literally help our minds heal!

This page is the bio of Christian music artist Matt Goolsby. ABOUT Matt was called to music at a very young age. His mom would laugh and say that he danced to the popular songs of the day around the coffee table as a baby. At an early age, his grandpa gave him a student Decca guitar from Sears. He's been playing with musicians in numerous venues ever since. He loves to teach others how to draw the Holy Spirit into authentic worship and praise. Having come from a military family, Matt loves to honor those who have fought and died in service to our country. A Walk I went for a walk, to bring outside inside, By mountains and trees, there treasure troves hide. The rivers flow free, there is nothing to buy... I went on a walk, to bring outside inside. My friend Randy loves to write poetry and music. This is a dedication to him. Poetry by Randy Stoltz
