About Matt Pless
"The trouble with writing about yourself is that you can't fool around. If you write about someone else, you can stretch the truth from here to Finland. If you write about yourself, the slightest deviation makes you realize instantly that there may be honor among thieves, but you are just a dirty liar."------Groucho Marx-------- Matt Pless is a solo artist from Baltimore Maryland. He has played shows all over the country, from the streets and subways of New York City, to sunny Venice Beach California.
