        "bio" : "Matt van den Heuvel is a guitar player and producer based in Seattle, WA. Having studied music from more than half his life, his interests vary greatly from blues and rock, to ambient music, to jazz, and beyond. With a growing collection of recorded music, Matt is ever active as a composer and producer whose current works explore lush, acoustic driven ambience, space rock, and the blending of modern production tools with traditional instruments.\n\nShortly after graduating with a music degree from Western Washington University he began collaborating with artist Michal Menert, and has been active in the band's recordings and live performances since 2014. Despite maintaining a demanding performance schedule most of the year, Matt continues to bring his love of blues and jazz into the modern world, and is fascinated by the potential of melding these traditions with contemporary ideas and instruments.\n\nAmong other things, this love finds its expression in Matt's own albums as well as in projects with his band, The Savanna Underground.",
