Matt Bar: Home

"Lying In Chalk" makes Top Ten local release list of 2006. And by local, I think the Iowa Newspaper is speaking galacticaly. See 'Journal' for more on this.

"Startingly original and brilliantly realized. At once cerebral, spiritual and earthy, 'Lying In Chalk' is a triumphant, front-to-back gem" - Jim Musser, Iowa City Press-Citizen

"Iowa City’s Matt Bar dubs his music “folk rap” and you may wonder what that entail until you hear his wildly unique Eminem meets Guy Clark style. His subjects range from scatological to street smart to soul bearing, rapped with a backdrop of haunting acoustic guitars and a tempered rhythm section. His musical integrity shines throughout and exemplifies that he does this style because he feels it, not as a gimmick." - Mark Waterbury, Music Morsels
