So please come so that I know for sure that you like me.

Matt Ouimet is a gifted multi-instrumentalist, producer, arranger, and songwriter from Ottawa. Matt’s musicality transcends genre and his musical voice is clearly heard through any instrument you get in his hands.
Whether chicken-pickin’ his way around a telecaster in a up-tempo country romp, or making color waves with his lap steel at a singer-songwriter session, or laying down wide open drum beats at an outdoor event, you can count on hearing his humor, adventurousness, sympathy, youthful energy and beyond his years wisdom in all his playing.
Ottawa’s staple sideman puts his talents to good use “OH JESUS” (released January 2010) and you will not regret buying this record!
“Matt Ouimet on “Oh Jesus” sounds like Brian Wilson fronting Willko.”
- Dick Altavista, CKCU
“Matt sees wide. He senses what other people don’t sense and he hears what dogs can’t hear…. He’s not Gandhi but he’s ear candy.”
- T. Bruce Wittet , Music Etc./Modern Drummer/People Will Talk Media
