Cincinnati singer-songwriter Matt Waters brings his band The Recipe and a mix of rock, folk and classic soul to Charlie's Stage at Natalie's Grandview on Saturday, November 28, 2026.
Matt Waters and The Recipe play Charlie's Stage at Natalie's Grandview on Saturday, November 28, 2026, at 8:30 p.m., the late set on Thanksgiving weekend.
Waters is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Cincinnati. His songs pull from three directions: the push of rock, the storytelling of folk and the grooves of classic soul, with lyrics about love, loss and figuring yourself out. His voice is the main draw, able to drop to a near whisper on a ballad and open up on a chorus, and The Recipe gives him a full band to lean on rather than a solo acoustic setup.
It is a short drive up I-71 for his Cincinnati fans, and Charlie's Stage puts the band within a few feet of the front tables. Holiday weekend visitors looking for something beyond leftovers will find a late show with dinner and drinks served throughout.
