Presenting Series

Mike Mattison is a singer/songwriter and founding member of the blues/roots group Scrapomatic. He has been a member of the Tedeschi Trucks Band and the Derek Trucks Band for 22 years, and has penned some of their signature tunes, including "Midnight in Harlem," which currently has over 45 million streams on Spotify. With the TTB and DTB, Mattison has won two Grammys for Best Blues Album, eight Blues Music Awards from the Blues Music Foundation, and four Canadian Maple Blues Awards. He has performed on five continents over two decades of touring, and in every state except Alaska. He is the author, with Ernest Suarez, Ph.D., of Catholic University, of Poetic Song Verse: Blues-based Music and Poetry, published by the University Press of Mississippi in 2021. He is a native Minnesotan and a graduate of Harvard University.

Turn a Midnight Corner is Mattison's third solo outing, featuring Tedeschi Trucks Band and Scrapomatic's Tyler "Falcon" Greenwell on drums; Dr. John, Susan Tedeschi Band, and Scrapomatic's Dave Yoke on guitar; Los Lobos satellite member, Greg Spradlin, on guitar; and Atlanta session man Wesley Flowers on bass. The record draws loose inspiration from a fictional 1930s blues duo who resurface in the early 1970s. Mattison is hard at work on a novella of the same name.
