Enchanted Meadow, a new CD by Celeste Matthews, is to me what meditative music defines. With her soul touching Native American flute playing, it is easy to get transfixed and "lost" in the realm that is our inner spirit. I understand that you are in a blues band as well as being a solo artist, what drew you to both the blues and new age genre? I enjoy a wide variety of genres. I started out as a classical musician. My principle instrument for years was oboe. A lot of cool music for oboe borders on the new age genre, so it was a logical move. Playing the Native American flute came naturally for me. The first time I picked on up, it was as if I had been playing all my life. I immediately loved it. As for the blues, a lot of my friends played blues, and I started jamming with them and found out that it is fun. I have been invited to play at an international blues festival this summer. I am really having fun with my music. With being a vet, teacher, and an artist you must be very busy, how do you balance all of these? I hope that I do balance them ok. My primary paying job is teaching biology at a small technical college. The good thing about this is that I don’t have to work weekends. This frees up Friday and Saturday nights for gigs. I only do part time veterinary work now. Being on call 24/7 lost its charm a while back.  My main interests are my kids, my music, and my horses. What are a couple of joyous experiences you have had with being an artist? Any time that I play for an audience and they enjoy it is a great experience. But it is not always about other people. I did the entire Enchanted Meadow CD in isolation. I played the guitar part first, and then I added the flute, followed by windchimes. This was a very positive experience for me. The only outside input that I had was from my friend and mentor, Paul Hornsby. He gave a lot of constructive criticism on the project. He also mastered the CD for me.  Just last weekend I had a blues show that really rocked. Some moments are just magical. With having so many "projects" and talents, do any affect the other in a positive and/or negative way? I am sure that I spread myself too thin. For example, in addition to all the other things that I do, I also just completed writing a novel. As far as music projects, each really helps the other. Anything that I learn musically for one genre adds to my other music. What are some major influences in your music? Probably the biggest positive influence on my music is my family. When I was growing up, my parents bought me a nice oboe even though they couldn’t afford it. I am sure that my mother wore old clothes and did without things that she could have had so that I could have a nice instrument and private lessons. She also played in the Chattanooga Symphony, as well as for plays and operas. It was natural for me to follow suit and perform. My mother always taught me that no matter how you felt, if people were counting on you, the show must go on. You just don’t miss gigs. Now I am married to a really good blues lead guitarist. My husband has kept me on track with the blues because this is what we do together. Any words of wisdom for aspiring artists? First of all, you can’t please everybody. You will get criticism on occasion. Unless it is constructive criticism from a trusted mentor, ignore it. You have to be a little thick skinned. Music is a hard way to make a living. I could make a lot more money with music if I did music that I am not interested in such as country or southern rock. I prefer to do what I like and keep my day job. I get to perform most every weekend, and I have a lot of fun with it. Having fun is success in itself for me. The way I look at it is that there are two types of musicians. Ones that follow their heart and play the music that they love, and ones that do it only for the money. This could be compared to there being two types of painters. The painter that is an artist paints canvas. If you do it only for the money, you should paint houses, or the local hamburger shop. Stick with doing what you love. Don't be pulled away from your dreams just to make $100 in a bar once in a while. Money is nice, but don't give up the music.
