Biography

Matthew Hornell and the Diamond Minds find themselves among the many gems to emerge from the rich and diverse music scene of St. John's, Newfoundland. There is something distinctively different about this folk-roots ensemble that legitimizes their name. The diverse musical backgrounds of the members--some long and some much shorter--lend to a raw, earthy sound accompanied by an honest naivety in Hornell's lyrics that is hard to come by these days.

Instrumentation

Jonathan Bungay - Mandolin, Lead Guitar
Paddy Byrne - Bass Guitar
Joshua Bourden - Percussion
Matthew Hornell - Vocals, Guitar, Harmonica
