Matt Costa, 'Mr. Pitiful' - Video Premiere

Matt Costa takes his D.I.Y. ethos to the extreme, becoming a one-man band in 'Mr. Pitiful,' the debut single from Costa's forthcoming album, 'Unfamiliar Faces.' Costa took his singular rig took to the streets of San Francisco and toured Santa Cruz, performing his hook-laden album opener in the Malloy and Tim Wheeler directed video. It may look easy but the folk crooner had to do a bit of training before spending hours in the heavy, odd contraption. Enjoy the video exclusively on Spinner.

Was just listening to Matt Costa on e-town radio so decided to look him up! Great video - and I felt some strong connections to old Beatles style. Matt is a talented young guy and looks like he's got what it takes to be around making good music for the long haul! Keep on keep'in on...
