Emerging folk artist Matt Pless is quickly becoming the quintessential Occupy folk hero, having traveled to Zuccotti Park from his native Baltimore with next to nothing but his guitar and his deceptively radical songcraft. Featured on the upcoming "Occupy This Album" project and currently touring up and down the east coast, Pless is definitely a modern Dylanite, but with a glaze of sincerity in his voice that is all his own. After self-releasing several EPs, Pless is working on a new solo set that will be landing on us this spring. Can't. Wait.

For those in NYC this Saturday, check out Matt Pless playing live at the Occupy This Album Listening Party + Open Stage (RSVP info here).
