Greetings! ,
Matthew Davidson was honored to be invited to perform last month at Seacrest Studios at Children's Medical Center in Dallas, TX. The Ryan Seacrest Foundation has built broadcast media centers within five pediatric hospitals to provide both entertainment and a creative outlet to patients. A fter Matthew's performance, The Chinn Guitar Project, founded by Ken and Tara Chinn, presented 11 donated guitars to Children's Medical Center to be used in the Music Therapy department. The guitars were donated by Mundt Music in Longview, Texas. Click the photo below to view the event video. The song in the video, "One More Beautiful Thing", was written by Matthew Davidson and Greg Walton.

About Matthew Davidson -
"Matthew Davidson has been playing guitar for about six years. It looks like 16 when you see him play." ~Kidd Kraddick in 2011, host of nationally syndicated radio show "Kidd Kraddick in the Morning".
"Fourteen year old rising child prodigy, Matthew Davidson, has been making major waves in the music world. Getting his first taste of guitar at the age of three, Matthew has been stunning the ears of multiple guitar enthusiasts and organizations across the country." ~William Clark, Guitar International, Jan. 2013
"Wonder kid Matthew Davidson may only be 14 but he definitely knows a little something about the blues. "Step Up" is only a taste of what is to come for Matthew. His mature funk'd out guitar skills are inevitably demonstrative of this kids natural talent and devotion to music. You'll never hear another 14-year-old hone that Louisiana Southern blues-funk rhythm the way that Davidson has. " ~Kimmie Tubre, Where Y'at Magazine, New Orleans, LA - December 2012
