During the Dark Nights of OUR TOWN, Tongue in Cheek celebrates the solo
show with our Plus One Solo Show Festival, which runs Sunday October 21
and Monday, October 22 at 7:30 pm at Theatre 54 @ Shetler Studios (244
West 54th Street, 12th floor). Plus One features 5 short solo shows and
a musical guest. Tickets are $18 online and at 212-868-4444.We sat down with singer/songwriter Matt Sucich to learn a bit more how his songs are like an oatmeal raisin cookie.
One other thing: Matt's record is going to be released on Friday, November 16 at 9:30 pm at Rockwood Music Hall. You should be there.
1. What excites you about writing and performing your own work?
Seeing how some songs never change from the day they were written, while others need time and performance to take shape.
2. What scares you about writing and performing your own work?
I wouldn't say anything really scares me about the process. That's the beauty of artistic expression. There are no "rights" or "wrongs."
3. Where do you do your best writing?
Kitchen table and in the subway.
4. When you're developing new work, how do you know you're on the right path with it?
When the pieces start presenting themselves easier, and all you have to do is place them together.
5. If your life and songs were turned into a big network sitcom/1-hour long drama, who would you cast in the supporting roles?
Duh, Clooney & Hanks. Next question.
6. Recount the most surprising thing that ever happened to you while performing.
I thought my zipper was down once (it wasn't...phew.)
7. If you held a bake sale inspired by your piece, what kind of food would you serve, and why?
Oatmeal raisin cookies. Because songs are a lot like oats...and I like oatmeal raisin cookies.
