Matt Parsons plays guitar. Matt Parsons playing guitar is one action that is, without fail, going to bring some joy to me. I can't really explain it and I'm sure it's something that has formed over time from playing with some of his best friends since childhood, but whatever it is I love it. Generally speaking he is soft-spoken and gentle. Has a wonderful wife and [fairly] new baby girl and it is possible he loves them more than is actually possible (Don't argue about the fallacy, just go with it).
Then he pulls the sneak attack on you. He plays with so much passion. Classic Jekyll & Hyde.
These are shots of him before a show in mid-December at Bottletree. Scroll down to the Seattle entry to see him in action (specifically the last shot before my friends).
