Singer-songwriter Matthew Santos found his first audiences by way of iTunes, MySpace, word of mouth and on independent labels. His audiences have been steadily growing and this past year has been quite the wild ride for him. He performed at the mtvU Woodie Awards and recorded a track with Lupe Fiasco for his Food & Liquor album. Santos also appears on three songs on Fiasco's latest album The Cool. And the duo performed "Superstar" on Letterman*s show on Dec. 22 when Dave finally got back on the air.

With wildly diverse influences, Santos' intensely personal songs are refreshingly proactive and optimistic. "I'm trying to write songs that aren't complaining or whining. I never feel like a victim, so I never write from the 'victim' standpoint.* says Santos. "I think people are gravitating toward what's real.*

So stick around after the Marathon and hear Santos in concert. He has all the markings of a musician you can say that you saw way back when.

Tickets for GOAL volunteers and runners registered in the marathon, marathon relay, half marathon, 5k, or kids k are $5. All others are $10 (and still dirt cheap!)
