Freddy Matthews is a songwriter, guitarist, performing and recording artist. Freddy has just been selected as one of six songwriters in the country to become part of the "Frequency Spot Family" by music legend Jerry Navarro (MuzikMafia, Dave Matthews Band, Kid Rock, J.D. Souther, Martina McBride). Freddy's songs have real heart and are creating a positive movement in music.
Freddy can perform solo or travel as a duo with an accompanying female vocalist. Freddy's solo act includes backing tracks (sound like a full band) and does song covers by request. When you book Freddy Matthews, you are booking an upcoming songwriter and professional committed to helping you create a quality event.

For the event planners out there, I am very adaptable - an event planners dream really LOL.
I can travel light, with performance tracks pre-programmed into my guitar pedal rack making it easy to move from location to location. The performance tracks allow me to sound as if I had a full band including strings, horns, etc.
If you do not have a PA system, I can bring a small PA setup that would be sufficient for a small club. I focus on quality of sound over volume, so I prefer to keep a rich full sound going without hurting anyone's ears. (Many garage bands are just too too loud to the point where the volume is no longer serving the music nor the listeners.)
I do always show up early for setup and would love to coordinate as much or as little as you need me to, to ensure that the music is flowing where and when you would like it to. I do instrumentals and I am also a vocalist for my original works, and as mentioned in bio, can prepare special requests ahead of time should you wish to include specific songs at your event.
I can play acoustic guitar sets also if that is the ambiance you are going for. When I do use performance tracks (where I sound like a full band), it may be helpful to know that these have been mixed and mastered by music industry professionals and will sound great on any PA from a home to a stadium.
Depending on availability of my friends, I can also bring in other instrumentalists including a full band, fiddle, brass, etc. Just let me know what you need!
Hi! My name is Freddy Matthews. I'm so glad you stopped by and that you are considering me as the entertainment specialist for your event.
I have been playing guitar and singing / writing music for about 20 years and am currently creating and recording a number of albums with a bunch of famous musicians in Nashville and beyond.
While I focus on original music as a songwriter and recording artist, I can also do select "cover" songs per special request.
I look forward to bringing some music! I am open to ideas and please feel free to run any ideas past me so that we can make your event AWESOME!!!!!
Thank you again, and I look forward to connecting and talking about your special date.
Best,
-Freddy Matthews
Sound Requirements: [if you have a PA system]
I typically run three outs from my setup;
I basically need two XLR inputs, and one quarter inch input.
My setup is generally as follows:
Guitar ---> [pedalboard] ----> DI out
Vocal Mic ----> Pre-amp ----> DI out
Roland SPD one Wav Pad --> Quarter inch out [performance tracks]
I can set up in a pretty small area if needed.
Sound Requirements [if you do not have a PA]:
I run with a small tower PA system so I really do not need a whole lot of room. I can set up within a circle of about a 6 foot diameter if needed. Currently, it is preferred if you have a PA / sound system in place at the venue / location, however I am happy to provide if needed.
If you are interested in more of a full band, and need lighting / staging / etc. I am happy to discuss this with you as well. Just let me know!
