In this encore episode of IPR Studio One's "Java Blend" from 2012 host, Ben Kieffer will chat withMatthew Santos.

Listen to and download the podcast to find out more about the emerging Chicago artist.

Matthew Santos has established himself as one of the most exceptional talents to emerge from the Chicago music scene in decades. With a voice consistently compared to that of the late Jeff Buckley and likened to a male version of Adele, he has been the subject of praise from such artists as Kimbra, Eddie Vedder, and John Legend.

Santos' highly acclaimed collaborations with Lupe Fiasco for which he received two Grammy nominations, have served to broaden international awareness of Santos whose own style is a unique, homegrown hybrid touching on alternative/indie-rock/soul and folk genres. The Chicago Sun-Times recognized Santos as an artist who is “organic and soulful and moody, full of interesting musical ideas and dripping with serious vocal talent.”

Stay tuned for new artists on Java Blend, Saturdays at 1PM on IPR Studio One!
