The Matthews Baartmans Conspiracy Distant Chatter (CD)

(MIG) 10 tracks, digisleeve.
Singer-songwriter Iain Matthews and guitarist, singer-songwriter and producer BJ Baartmans met in 2003, shortly after the former moved to the south of Holland. BJ accompanied touring American singer-songwriter Eugene Ruffolo at a local music café, and the two were introduced after the show. A mutual respect for each other's talents developed, and they have more or less played and recorded together ever since. Mostly in the all-Dutch lineup of Matthews Southern Comfort, which they formed together in 2005. They have released three albums and toured extensively throughout Europe.

It's a natural habitat for both musicians, who both have a long and rich history in the music world, both as solo artists and as band members:
Matthews worked with Fairport Convention, Matthews Southern Comfort, Plainsong, More Than A Song, among others.
Baartmans has worked with a long list of Dutch and international artists including Oh Susanna, Jeff Finlin, David Corley. Amy Speace, Cara Luft.
