************************************************************
****"Instrumental Rock May not be the hottest trend these days, but The Matt Koon Foundation is here to say it is alive and well.
Fans of guitar legends Steve vai and Jimi Hendrix will find something to enjoy here, but the bottom line is a little more funky and a little southern, like ZZ Top at times, or occasionally throwing in a little latin flavor a la Santana. Koon's guitar is proficient without getting too technical; he's good and he knows it, but he doesn't indulge in over-complicated noodling just for noodling's sake. He's having fun and rocking out , not just showing off.
The band is surprisingly tight for having been together just over a year, Koon has put together a strong line-up, and it's no wonder, after a rumored four-month audition process. It's clear that the members are all experienced and talented musicians in their own for all that Koon takes center stage.
The band is likely to appeal to people more used to vocal rock, because unlike many instrumental bands, they actually write distinct songs, rather than jamming for ten minutes and then calling it a track. Each song is strongly written, not over-ling, and has an individual personality.
To paraphrase a quote from their web site sums them up succinctly, "Not a self-indulgant jam band or over-your-head prog, the songs are the star" With every video-gamer fancying himself a guitar hero these days, perhaps rock music with pyrotechnic guitar parts in place of vocals will experience a resurgance? If/when it does, Matt Koon is ready to take the lead.

________"This local all instrumental rock/jam band was formed in late 2006 and quickly gained a following of dedicated fans. And for a good reason. Their guitar laden anthems roll with an amazing rhythm and are quick to get heads nodding and toes tapping. The Foundation can be likened to a vocal-less cross between Santana, the Allman Brothers and Widespread Panic (but without the annoying holier-than-thou fan base.) As they say, it's true music."KENT BROCKWELL RICHMOND.COM________________________________________________
