Picture life before COVID-19, at a packed indie rock show inside Downtown’s Bunkhouse Saloon. Now make your way to the tightest space dead center, right in front of the stage and say hello to Matthew Shaw.
He and twin brother, Jeremy, have been fixtures on the local music scene for years, supporting local and traveling bands with their enthusiastic attendance. “We had an older brother who introduced us to music Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Guided By Voices … right away I just got into it,” Shaw, 30, explains. “And I always loved the experience of seeing music live. It was incredible to me that you could plug in a guitar, play it loud and fill up a room and have hundreds of people there who love what you’re doing.”
