The Story

Meet a Songster

Matt lives to perform

Matt has been performing and recording solo and in bands for most of his life. His unique take on music comes from his wide variety of musical experiences. He has played in the pit and on-stage for musicals, busked on the streets on four continents, and been on over a dozen commercial releases. From touring in a reggae band, creating and performing music for bellydancers, playing weddings and town celebrations with variety bands to releasing his own independent rock, jazz, funk, and world music CDs, Matt has almost done it all and continues to find new ways to keep music in his, and everyone's, life.

Matt performs and records with the folk group Sycamore Gap, and leads Treylor, a tribute to Taylor Swift, in addition to his solo work and duo work with vocalist Pam Hernandez.

Matt also has a new folk and roots band that will debut in 2027.

Matt loves to play solo acoustic music.  He mixes old folk from America and the British Isles along with early rock and roll and classic pop from the 40s to today.  These performances are geared toward audiences young and old.

And that's what a songster does!  Before jukeboxes, radios and (now) streaming, songsters were adept at multiple styles and entertaining varied audiences.  Matt brings that energy and attitude today.
