It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

Born in Huntington Beach, California, in 1982, Matt Costa received his first guitar at age 12. While he was always interested in music, even playing in a band in high school, Costa's first love was skateboarding. His dreams of going pro came crashing to an end, however, when he seriously injured his leg in a skateboarding accident at 18. During his year-and-a-half-long rehabilitation period, Costa decided to refocus his energy on songwriting and guitar playing, and began using a four-track to make demos. One of these demos found its way to No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont, who liked what he heard so much that he offered to produce Costa's music, and soon they had recorded two independently released EPs, Matt Costa and The Elasmosaurus, as well as a full-length early version of Songs We Sing. These caught the ear of Brushfire Records owner Jack Johnson, who was impressed by the young musician's work and signed Costa to his label and invited him to open his 2005 summer tour. In 2006, Costa's official major-label debut, Songs We Sing (slightly different from the 2005 indie version), was released. Unfamiliar Faces arrived in 2008, followed by Mobile Chateau in 2010. In 2013, Costa returned with an orchestral and '70s AM pop-influenced self-titled album. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi
Got to see Costa open for Ryan Adams and Oasis at Staples Center back in 2006 of course I was there to see Oasis but Costa ended up been the best part for me. The crowd booed him and told him to get off the stage but he just played it cool and did his thing. Completely won me over on how cool he played it it out, he did his set and went on his way. Great melody and catchy songs with some folksy pop that rings true and will stay in your head for a long time. I love Songs We Can Sing
Another soldier in the hipster army. Music is lacking any originality.

i dont think any of you guys have the right to judge anybodys music. everybody writes to express themselves, and for anybody to preform criticism on anybodys music obviously has no understanding of true music. these are all good artists. hold your personal opinion to yourself please. after all, these people are not writing music to please you.
More atmospheric than Johnson - more dynamic. I can't listen to Johnson very long before it all starts to sound alike. This guy is really good, along the lines of Iron and Wine.
colopay calm it down he does have his own children station and is a little over appreciated by every wanna be hipster because he makes music just catchy music not revolutionary poetry hes fine just not walt whitman

Sorry, but Jack Johnson does not sing kiddie songs as his job. His songwriting has some of the most mature, deep, and poetic lyrics out there; and I do not lay down that title lightly as a writer and literary intaker. So please, Vickenyon, do not post insulting things on these forums that only represent your presumptions about music you obviously know very little about.
this is waaaaay more mature than any kiddie songs jack (off) johnson makes. although i have to say, i'm afraid to thumbs up which will result in j.off.johnnson playing on my station.
i really hope matt dosent change his music since he is getting more popular... i hate it when artists do that it mkes me think of them as fake
but i LOVE him right now
Wow! Wait who, where? How can this guy not be huge?!!

He's pretty tight. Matt Costa smoothly blends uplifting tunes w/melancholy words.

That's sexist.

I really like him. He's got a very nice, very cute voice, and plays very well. He's very creative, and I like it, a lot better than Jack Johnson. It also helps that he looks a little bit like Jon Walker :D
Matt Costa is my favorite artist right behind Jack Johnson. I discovered him. . .through Lullaby(one of my faoverite songs)and have been itching to get a cd and will own all of them soon! Matt Costa is freaking amazing!
