Jon Belfontaine (Outlet) is a self taught glitch hop producer and multi instrumentalist from NH. Outlet released his first full length album “Borrowed Voices” on December 21 2013 as a follow up to his 2012 EP “Twilight” and to celebrate the one year anniversary of the end of the World. 

He began playing the guitar at age 13. Like many guitarists from NH his main influence was alternative rock, and after being gifted his first guitar he taught himself songs he heard on the radio. Once he became aware of electronic music however the concept fascinated him. The idea of blending his favorite musical genres and the unlimited possibilities that can come from a pair of headphones and a synthesizer set off an electric spark and from that moment on he began experimenting with making original electronic music with psychedelic melodies, and hypnotic tones empowered with heavy bass lines.

Outlet has collaborated with Pretty Lights Music (PLM) artist Michal Menert on his 2014 release “Even If It Isn’t Right” on the track “Drift By”. He placed second in Pretty Lights’ online remix contest for the track “Around The Block” in 2014, remixed PLM artist Eliot Lipp’s track “SeaTac Arrival” in 2015 and has opened for Pretty Lights on the Episodic Music tour in 2016. 

Outlet was on a hiatus from releasing music and touring from 2018-2020 and had been working on a new record during that time and focusing on his family. In 2020 he had been booking shows and had released a couple of singles but when Covid happened he continued work on his upcoming record and began doing live stream performances on his social media you can still find the live streams on his Facebook page. 

Outlet is currently releasing singles in 2021 and booking shows in the New England area as Covid are being lifted. He looks forward to the release of more music and getting back on the road and sharing his passion with all the friends again.

Matthew Morgan is an urban folk singer/songwriter who has built a loyal following in Chicago's independent music scene.  With an appreciation for music from a bygone era he sketches his sonic canvas combining his lyric tenor voice with skillfully woven glimmers of American folk, country, rock and blues that clearly references such musical heros as Neil Young and Bob Dylan, but is also strongly influenced by acoustic outsiders like Nick Drake and Elliott Smith.  A multi-instrumentalist he crafts his songs playing the guitar, piano, organ, harmonica, and a variety of other stringed instruments.

Released in 2011 Matthew's debut CD “Red Silhouettes” is a tour de force in “Do It Yourself” recording.  Entirely self produced and engineered he performs nearly every instrument himself with a few notable musicians and friends adding exuberance to the mix.  “Red Silhouettes” is loosely based on surviving stories and letters that reveal the hardships and daily struggles of those present during the American Civil War.

On the heels of his successful solo release Matthew quickly assembled a band of talented musicians who ultimately became known as Matthew Morgan and the Lost Brigade (MMLB).  Building up a loyal fan base and playing a series of well-attended local shows, in 2012 MMLB partnered with CAUDog Records of Chicago, IL to record their debut album "Found" with producer Ellis Clark.

In December 2013 the band performed their CD Release to a packed house at Chicago's famous Double Door, which ultimately led them to play venues across the Mid-west and Southern states that included a successful showcase at the SXSW festival in Austin, TX.   In addition, “Found” was nominated for three Indie Music Channel awards and Songs from the album have been played on 140 college radio stations across the United States.   To date the band has signed several licensing deals with television production companies for shows featured on MTV, the Disney Channel, the Discovery Network, and Viacom via Tinderbox Music.

Toward the end of 2013 Matthew amicably parted ways with The Lost Brigade to pursue music in a different direction.  While the other band members continue to write their own music and tour as a group he is currently recording a solo EP with producer Nate Lockwood of Canton, OH with an anticipated release date in 2015.

Matthew grew up in Ohio where he attended music school, majoring in vocal performance.  He is also an accomplished painter having shown his fine art regularly as a member of the Flat Iron Artist's Association (Chicago, IL).
