Making a mark on the music world

In high school, Matt Brennan ('02) was encouraged to do what he felt most passionate about — and that was music — but he says he became starved for reading books and chose to study English and philosophy at Mount Allison.

His Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Edinburgh is entitled “Researching Live Music in the UK.” The project looks at the development of the live music industry in Britain since 1950, from which his team will be writing a three-volume history.

Along with his music scholarship, Matt is a member of a three-piece band called Zoey Van Goey. The band has signed to a Scottish label and put out its first album.
