10 Feb Parts Country, Folksy, Beachy, and Buffet

A previous post mentioned Matt McKeown and the theme song he wrote, on contract, for the city of Palm Coast, Fla. Matt is associate pastor of First UB church in Holly Hill, Fla., and also heads up Sound Mind Studios, a recording studio in Holly Hill.

The online News-Journal of Daytona Beach published a feature article about Matt and the song, titled “Holly Hill Musician Carries Tune for Palm Coast.” Some tidbits from that article:

• Matt has written energetic rock music p layed during television coverage of NFL games, NASCAR races, and other sporting events.
• After getting the Palm Coast job last fall, “I didn’t go there and walk around for song inspiration. I just jumped on their website and looked at what they were proud of. That’s what I would have done if I was doing that for a company.”
• McKeown he did all the singing and played all the instruments for the song. “I wanted it to be a little country, a little folksy, and a little beachy and to have a little Jimmy Buffet in there.”
