ABOUT

These pics, as well as studio recordings, in profile are from a previous band I was in called the Stumptown Wranglers and other acts. I play with a thumb pick and fingerpicks and use a lot of arpeggio/ banjo roll type stuff. My happy place is where the beat either shuffles or swings. I can sing backup and a tad bit of lead vocals. Maybe I can contribute something to what you are doing. Have a reverbnation page, search Willie!

Here's my number: Matt (Willie) 503-715-6781.

Influences

Over the years I have played everything from punk/ new wave/prog rock to metal to jazz to now in the last 10-12 years, country. With that said, my sound is not your typical country lead sound. I use a good dash of delay and with no distortion or overdrive (my playing and sound is squeaky clean). Merle Travis/ Chet Atkins/ Texas Troubadours have influenced my playing and 70's and 80's guitarists have influenced my sound. Big nod to the guitarist Led Paul!
