My Story

From swing to funk to classical, whether pedal steel, lap steel, bass, acoustic guitar, or electric guitar, Matthew can play it all. He has performed with such artists as Leon Rausch; Pete Huttlinger; Kristyn Harris; Miss Devon and the Outlaw; and Ginny Mac. Matthew has played guitar in the pit (and scaffolding) for the 2012 revision of the musical Godspell, as well as with Verdigris Ensemble for the oratorio Dust Bowl.

He has arranged several pieces that have been performed by both the Tarrant County College NE Guitar Ensemble and the Richland College Guitar Ensemble, including songs by The Beatles, Parliament, Jethro Tull, and Kurt Weill.

Matthew has also appeared as a studio musician on albums including “My Mustang, My Martin, and Me” by Kristyn Harris, and “Buckles & Barrels” by Rose Hill Band. He can most often be found playing as a core musician in several bands, including The Light Crust Doughboys, The Kristyn Harris Band, Dave Washburn Three Quarters Fast Jazz Band, the Grateful Dead cover band Miracle Ticket, and Cory Cross and the Burden.

Matthew earned dual Bachelor of Science degrees in electrical engineering and mathematics from the University of North Texas in 2016, and continues to use them to support his music habit
