I love Rock & Blues from the 60's to present day. I was born in April of 1955 in Flint, Michigan. Ten years later, while on vacation with my family, my father taught me a few cords on his Daneltro guitar. From that time forward, I was hooked. Within a very short time, my cousin and I started our own band The Inevitables. The lineup was complete with the addition of other close musician friends, and grew to perform our first gig. “I still remember the rush of that very first show. Playing rock n roll of the time was a gas, but it didn’t take long before I new that soulful bluesy guitar sound was what I loved."

Although I have played Country, Southern Rock, Classic Rock, Top 40 and many other styles, I always knew the blues was my one true love. My list of bands covers many genres and I loved performing with every musician I have ever had the privilege of playing with," I even played in a real punk band in the early 70's" called CRANK,.The blues is where my heart is but I play everything. My playing style is a cross between Eric Clapton, Gary Moore, Stevie Ray and many others with great respect for BB King.

Matt is currently rehearsing & recording with his new group,THE MOTOR CITY INJECTORS, please enjoy the the music....
