"Who is John Patrick Matthews? (feat. Eric Donnelly)"
/Who needs Hallmark Christmas, when you have the real life magic of John Patrick Matthews and the Rock Boat? Listen to how John’s dreams persevered tragedy on this 3rd Episode of The BoatCast Season 2!!!
Integral to John’s story has been his love of music, particularly perennial Rock Boaters, The Alternate Routes. When John’s wife passed away after their first TRB, he initially found it too hard to embrace music until he had the courage to board TRB XVIII. While on-board, he joined The Alternate Routes to play a song dedicated to his late wife, Linda. His love of playing was rekindled and he was inspired to write an album. Over the pandemic, he took lessons with guitar virtuoso, Eric Donnelly (of The Alternate Routes) which led to him taking the plunge and creating his own album. All of his blood, sweat, and tears culminated in his release of Hugs and Handshakes in 2021. Join us as John walks Chris, Eammon, Mark - and special guest Eric Donnelly - through his journey (including an honest assessment of the recording process) to make his dream come true.
