3. Matt Borello in Concert

Where/When: Paradise Cafe, 565 High St. in Dedham./  Saturday, Dec. 29 at 8 p.m.

Why Go:  His songs draw their structures from folk, country, blues, and rock music. He is a lover of spontaneous collaborations and his songs often have several different arrangements. Matt writes from a personal perspective, but his songs are markedly devoid of the boring self-pity that plagues the repertoires of many acoustic balladeers. He has several protest songs and no breakup songs.
