Matt was extremely professional. He even put together a band for my show each member of which was personable and just great at playing their instruments and songs I gave them. Will be booking again in the future.

Had to hire a "jazz band" on very short notice per request from my mom. She always wanted one at her funeral. Matt took the stage so to speak and actually made this the Celebration of life my mom wanted. The quality was incredible from every musician. Even the funeral home director wanted the details of Matt and his band. Highly recommend and I'm looking forward to working with Matt again for happier occasions in the future.

Details: General event / party • 51 - 75 guests • 12 years old or younger • 13 - 17 years old • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Band • No preference • Jazz / Blues • Outdoors

Mat is my number choice to live duo music. He is familiar with any style of music. He is a great sight writer, and an out of this world improviser.
