Tom Odell

Tom Odell’s youthful appearance is the first thing you notice about him, but as soon as the music starts playing and you hear his voice you forget about all of that. He’s got an amazing talent way beyond his years and a wonderfully captivating voice.

He draws inspiration from acts like Elton John, David Bowie, Radiohead, and Ben Folds, and you can catch elements from all of these artists in his music but Tom Odell’s music never comes off as derivative as he puts his own unique spin on it all. The crowd at the venue skewed heavily female, which is definitely a plus! The ladies were swooning over Tom Odell’s words the whole night and, well, to be quite honest I was too. I’m glad that my friends talked me into going because this isn’t my typical taste in music but he really won me over by the end of the first song.

The show was a great event to just chill and hang out with cool people at. And to be honest, I don’t think that categorizing Tom Odell as an indie-pop musician does him justice as his songwriting is on a higher level than you would typically associate with that genre. His lyrics struck a chord with me and I definitely get the impression that he and I would really understand each other. Highly recommended!

Brilliant. A fine performer, with honesty and not pretentious. Matt doesn't overplay, just comfortable to play what he feels, which is very himself, not trying to be anything but also nothing less. If you want a night of sensitive, no frills singer-songwriter piano music, with some youthful innocence, Matt is your man.
