Album Notes

Mario Matteoli was born and raised in Eureka, California. He started playing guitar at age 14, listening to the likes of Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, and Clarence White. After playing in various bluegrass and rock and roll bands and a brief stint at the local university, Matteoli packed his bags with buddies Brian Salvi and Darren Hoff and moved to Austin to form the premier touring act, The Weary Boys. For the last six years his primary focus has been writing songs and playing guitar with the band, occasionally playing the odd solo performance. In November of 2005, Matteoli and friends Cary Ozanian, Mark Ambrose, and Matt Hubbard began work on his first self-released solo album, Hard Luck Hittin'. Hard Luck was released in June 2006 and has already received some great reviews from fans and critics alike.

REVIEWS

Amazing talent--stunning that he's unsigned
author: Bill Woodard
Cannot get enough of this record. He just played the Replay in Lawrence, Kansas, last night, and if there's justice in the world he'll be another of the many bands (The White Stripes, for one) who came through here and played $2 shows at the Replay right before hitting it big-time. Apt comparisons to Townes Van Zandt and Dylan, but this is a sound all his own, make no mistake, a blender of Americana/folk/ragtime/blues/rock/pop. Yum.
