Matt Venuti is a multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter and modern day touring troubadour known for his captivating acoustic and electronic instruments, sound immersion experiences and songs. He’s also an award-winning recording/music video artist and soundtrack composer/video editor.
Matt’s innovative music career was launched and cultivated in San Francisco. In 2019 he served as Artist in Residence in both the Everglades and Shenandoah National Parks, and has been a featured performer and presenter at multiple TED and TEDx conferences. He is a popular favorite of the SF underground scene, as well as at Burning Man and in the Silicon Valley, performing at gala industry events for Apple, Google, Yahoo, Oracle, Microsoft and George Lucas. He has shared stages with Thomas Dolby, Michael Manring, Stan Getz and Pat Metheny, among many others.
Matt is a rare instrument proficient, mastering the experimental Electronic Valve Instrument developed by AKAI Corporation; the Hang, a metal-alloyed instrument developed in this century by Swiss inventors Felix Rohner and Sabina Sharer, played with the hands to create stunningly warm and ethereal sounds that are simultaneously rhythmic and melodic; and the related Gubal. He also utilizes looping pedals, a variety of unusual chimes, guitar and voice.
At the West Bloomfield UCC event (Wednesday, March 29th at 7 pm) Matt will also project his beautiful nature videos on an entire wall of the sanctuary behind him to create a fully immersive multi-media experience.
“I was privileged to catch Matt in a private house concert,” said Pastor Corey Keyes. “I was transported by his performance, and then was stunned when he agreed to an expanded multi-media performance in our beautiful sanctuary in West Bloomfield. This will be an incredible evening!”

Sometimes it is easy to forget that the Lord is with us. There are dark times, but none dark enough to extinguish the Light of the World. The Lord is with you and me. It is no accident that we Christians choose to fill the shortest and darkest days of the year with the light and love of gathered fellowship. Christmas elevates our thoughts and spirits. It reminds us, falling as it does immediately after the Winter Solstice, that, though things may seem impossibly dark, a greater light is coming into the world and growing brighter by the day.
