Hi - my name is matt. i'm a montana boy living in tacoma, wa. and make a living serving margaritas and making sure the world is safe from dirty beer. i like my jobs - most of the time. i also play some music. you could say it's my passion - but really it's what keeps me alive and sane. i can't say that i'm better than any other musician you'll see, but i like to put my heart and soul into what i do. just maybe what i have to say will make it through to someone out there...
i've been playing with a group of really fantastic musicians lately. we'll call them them the wandering few for now. they include kim on violin, a entrepreneur in international arms (hungarian specifically), mitchell, the "ohmygodhowcanyouphysicallyplaythaton bass" bass player, dalton the everfunktry on drums, and travis barker (no releation) on the strat dipped in a stew of jimi, ray la montagne, and ryan adams. you should come see us. we have a good time. the music is pretty good too...
a little note from the volcano weekly in tacom, wa:
Since his debut on the Jazzbones stage in January of 2005, Matt has made a name for himself as a singer songwriter in the Tacoma/Seattle area. He has been quoted as an "up and comer" by the Weekly Volcano's Ginger Knoxx, who says to "expect big things". Over the years, Matt has opened for Martin Sexton, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Storyhill, The Paperboys, Vicci Martinez, The Jude Bowerman Band, Doxology, Storyhill, The Dimes, Christopher Cross, Curt Kirkwood, Christopher Eberhardt, and The Eric McFadden Trio.
