the Subourbons

Matt is a founding member of The Subourbons along with Jon and serves as the band’s leader and musical director.

After playing primarily rock music since he first picked up the guitar at age 10, the Blues called Matt home when he picked up the "Eric Clapton Live at Hyde Park" DVD at some point in the year 2000. 
 

Matt consumed a heavy diet of Clapton’s music and then found his way to Stevie Ray Vaughan. From there he worked back to the "founding fathers" like Albert King, BB King, Muddy Waters, ultimately discovering Michael Bloomfield, who became a huge inspiration and influence. Other influences include Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, and Kenny Burrell, as well as modern blues artists such as Joe Bonamassa.

Matt’s playing is rooted in the blues, but he incorporates elements of rock and jazz into his, still evolving, guitar style.
