   About Matt King
I hate bios, there's plenty of fabricated, fornicated stuff out there if you wanna go root around for it. I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina. I worked in a goldsmith shop and an auction company growing up. I came up at the feet of honest to God mountain people singing bluegrass music about dying and losing lovers. My dad told me stories about our family killing people, killing each other and the generalities that go along with a family of bootlegers, preachers and splintered women. I didn't think it was fashionable to talk about those things and then one day the apostles of suburbia began making up songs about how cool it was, then took it to the people and sang it to 'em. - I don't know about that. These are my stories, I try to be as honest as a liar and a thief knows how to be, I hope you find some threads of truth in here. I like rocks too, I root around in the banks and ditches, dumpsters and dirt every chance I can. Books are nice, I read 'em a lot. I always wanted to be a magician, I guess it's a fine line between Houdini and a Hootenanny. Prime numbers drive me crazy, taking apart stuff really gets me going, and a fresh dumpster in a hoity-toity part of town, well, forget it, I'm going diving. That's me, enjoy

LOVE YOUR STYLE, Matt.

Hope to hear you play a bit on Thanksgiving weekend. Gotta attend a David Olney show a little later that same night. One of the things I just love about Nashville. Good music 24/7.

Hey thanks Matt.  It was your guitar that led me to discover your site( I was on the hunt for a Epiphone) and great music!!! Enjoy "Rube" very much! Looking forward to your new EP!  When are you coming to Boston?

Hands down, this is the coolest shit on the airwaves.

Been a while since I heard something new and refreshing, yet dark with great stories.

Best thing I've heard in a while.
Keep it up.

CHEETHAM'S ZOMBIES - PHOTO COOKIES

Are now available to order for your Halloween parties, Haunted Attractions, Concerts, Movie Premieres, and Zombie Walks!

We take a regular photo of you, turn you into a zombie, and place you on the very cookies you choose to sell at your event, or hand out as treats...but that's not all we can do.

We can take your logo, your promo posters, our photos of your cast members or attractions, and place them on the cookies too!

These are literally one of a kind treats, the cookies you order will be shipped to nobody else. Each cookie has a vivid image of your choice and are delicious. They come wrapped in cellophane with your choice of ribbon color and are then packaged in individual boxes (as seen in the photo above, boxes are optional). These are truly, edible works of dark art.

If you would like more info on pricing or zombie makeovers, feel free to contact me here on Myspace. You won't be disappointed!
or, go to
