Blue Comet Café is a virtual showcase club for on-the-verge touring and recording artists. We videotape live performances (4 cameras/multitrack audio) of bands and singer/songwriters that are ready to step forward and achieve the recognition they deserve. No lip-synching. No overdubs. Just great people playing live.
We created the site to provide a way for people to check out new bands they might not be aware of and, if they like what they see, get them to go to the bands site or go to a gig. Artists featured on our Main Stage play the best traditional venues in the U.S., if not the world and they deserve the world’s attention.

Currently featured on our Main Stage is a distinctive singer/songwriter, Matt Duke. Matt made his recording debut in 2005 when MAD Dragon Records recorded four of his songs for inclusion on XYX, a compilation of twelve tracks from three artists.
When XM Satellite Radio’s “The Loft” (Channel 50) added all four of Duke’s songs from XYX, to their rotation, they received an immediate enthusiastic response. His songs were among the most requested at The Loft, joining Bruce Springsteen and Ben Harper for six weeks at the top spot.
