April 11, 2011 - Mat Kearney with "Rochester" in the Bing Lounge at 101.9 KINK.FM. Portland, OR FB: / binglounge Twitter: / thebinglounge Tumblr: / binglounge
To see him perform this LIVE is absolutely stunning. You could hear a pin drop in the venue when he sang this incredibly personal story of his Dad. Just beautiful. What a talent.
I grew up in Rochester and walked the halls of Irondequoit in the 70's. I even spent some time in Breckenridge, before leaving for Eugene OR to attend the U of O. This song brings tears to my eyes and sends chills down my spine. I saw your show at Toads Place in New Haven CT this past November. I've been a fan for years, ever since you were the first act for a John Mayer show along with Sheryl Crow. Mayer canceled and I couldn't believe I'd never heard of this guy Kearney. What a voice.
I want to visit Rochester because of this song. I remember having a corporate sales job and feeling miserable. Don’t don’t why walking and listening to song kept me sane.
great guitarist, great voice, great imagination, very nice creativity and it such a shame that he didnt recieve the credit as that he deserve. If i own a record company I would sign him and get his music out there to brainwash all the crap (shit) music out there such as Lil Wayne, Tyga and other useless shit that they call "MUSIC".

This is one of my favorite songs by Mat. Beautiful, simple lyrics and a powerful story.

Make no mistake - the fields he’s talking about look like pure desolation ababa
I live in Rochester!
:) Creative intro!
Not a dry eye in the room
If anyone knows the string that he picks please inform me, I know the chords and I can't seem to get the right picking pattern? Thanks
