Panda

A funky, soulful singer/songwriter classifying his music as "Soul Folk"!
Picking up guitar on a whim, at the ripe age of twenty, Mataolin ''Panda' Coffey immediately took to the art of song writing and within two and a half years was performing before live audiences. In his formative years, he toured following the American jam band, The Grateful Dead during their Shakedown Street and Mega-Dead periods. It was during this time that Panda was exposed and influenced by a unique blend of different styles of music...
