In the meantime, here's some sneak-peeks below:
BEHIND THE SCENES AT ELLEN:

Pre-performance, Matt chills in green room - with tea.

Dirty chips n a violin in the green room..

The hallway at Ellen is lined with key highlights...

Matt had a full band performing with him.......Here are some of them laughing backstage.

We dug the pict on the wall...

And gear...

Then we spotted this guy...

Justin was on hand to support Matt, his friend since childhood.

Smoke and mirrors....

Some of the band grooving backstage.

The whole band posing happy post-performance.

A perk of backstage? Getting to meet other Ellen guests up close and personal. Here's Matt with the talented, wise, funny, noble, (insert positive, flattering adjective here) actor/photographer/musician Jeff Bridges.

Kodak moment with Justin's old-school camera.
PS: Jeff's website is definitely worth a long 'n hard browse, boasting sketches, wicked photography, and a ton of fun, random stuff like chalk drawings and hilarious vintage album covers...

“ "Bloodline" is my favorite song on Matt's new album. Patty Griffin does an incredible job on the vocals with Matt but the harmony that Matt & Justin create is goosebump worthy. I hope to witness a live performance of the two of them in person. I can’t wait to see Matt, twice this month!! ”

“ Well, I just signed up for your website man.. I gotta say, your two's performance for the Haiti benifit gave me chills, my 2 year old son is strangly attached to the song as well. I'm the same as half the other people that think they can sing, but seriously you guys are super talented, and it was good to hear you guys put your talents to use to help these poor people. I look forward to hearing where your adventures and experiences in life take you as far as your music is concerned.. I remember back in the day, mid 90's man, when you could hear Tony Rich, and Babyface, boys to men.. all that great old stuff.. you don't hear that much anymore, but your music can sure take me back to those days. Keep it up! I'm a fan! ”
“ Dear brother Justin, if you're reading this and going to make a new and official video for the song ''Carry out'', I would to see you walking on with the guys like Nicole Scherzinger with The Pussycat Dolls in the video ''Buttons'', after that, a lot of guys, touching you, and when you say ''Ahh'' - they clap your ass, (it would be so hot) and no girls. When you sing: ''Whatcha name? Whatcha number? - you should call to a girl, but she wouldn't date you for a moment. and remember, the main thing for this song is guys... ”
