Matt ‘the Rattlesnake’ Lesch shows how the blues touch his soul in new album ‘Blues Cut Like Glass’

from St. Louis on the Air

Matt Lesch has played the blues for half of his life. At just 14 years old, the multi-instrumentalist caught the ear of a blues great, Big George Brock who became a mentor to him. Since then, the now 28-year-old has been touring the country, joining blues bands and performing his own music as “the Rattlesnake.” He shares how his relationship with blues legends and the emerging generation of blues musicians have inspired him — and his latest album, “Blues Cut Like Glass.”
