Watch Matthew Squires Perform Show to an Adoring Crowd of Mannequins

I like what Matthew Squires is doing. Squires creates nasally, off-kilter acoustic pop songs that embrace the complexity of life, tackling terror and joy head-on. His songs are catchy and cute, but more often I find myself entirely impressed by Squire’s character and persona. Although the music is sure to have its detractors, Squires’ songs are undeniably honest and emotionally present. You’ll find no posturing here. This week, Squires shared a takeaway show, filmed and recorded by John Valley, Cordelaine Kline, and Tyler Speicher. The show takes place at Still & Sea and features an incredibly attentive and respectfully quiet audience. Watch below.
