Matt has been singing and playing guitar and mandolin for decades in western Canada. He can’t remember not having a song in his head. Matt writes songs about family, friends, observations on life, and the majestic western landscape where he lives. Matt loves old guitars, and singing and playing live music for people who enjoy that kind of thing. 

Matt leads the original folk pop band Headlong Hearts and plays mandolin in the veteran trad bluegrass band Five on a String (on mando). 

He also performs solo, in duos and trios, and in varied studio recording sessions (vocals, instruments). He tries to be versatile.
