Matt writes authentic melodies and lyrics reminiscent of the great delta blues, country and bluegrass artists of yesteryear. His 'old-soul' approach is a refreshing return to American roots music.

Matt has also studied with Barry Mitterhoff, Woody Mann, Frank Christian and Phil Hilborne. As such, he is an accomplished electric, acoustic, slide guitar and mandolin player.
