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!”
Suggested donation of $10 per person, with all proceeds benefiting both Matt and the 24/7 HOPE community food cupboard.

begin our Holy Week observances with Palm Sunday. The rest of Holy Week will be different than in recent years, with a sit down soup-and-bread meal with readings and communion for Maundy Thursday (reservations required so we know how many to set for), and Easter Breakfast followed by a 10 a.m. celebration featuring an Easter pageant and plenty of uplifting music on Easter Sunday.
This Sunday (April 17th) is Teach Your Children Well Sunday. In addition to worship focused on and with our kids, both dbdb and our new youth band will perform (and anyone who hung around the sanctuary after church last Sunday during their practice will tell you how stunningly good that new youth band is), we will watch a rip-snorter of a short video lesson from the middle school curriculum (really funny, extremely thought-provoking), offer tours and vision of our evolving youth facilities and programs, and CELEBRATE! Be a part of it!
