Matthew Larsen has been a member of the vibrant Western Massachusetts music scene for a few decades, attracting audiences with introspective piano rock songs. Sometimes short, quiet and sweet– other times building into wall-of-sound Hotel-California-like anthems, Matthew’s songs often recall serious health issues (Matthew underwent a stem cell transplant at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston in 2005).Tumblr (3.0; @matthewlarsenmusic)http://matthewlarsenmusic.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b4fd86e4474352520ccaa0f421a00f7c/tumblr_mo31q2d8OQ1qcif0yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Race starts at 1pm!
