Matt Black
Overview
Matthew’s unique LIVE JUKEBOX allows you and your guests to control the setlist in REAL TIME. Using a combination of singing, acoustic guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and a suitcase drum, Matthew is able to create a full band feel without the full band price tag! This gives your event an interactive experience that you and your guests can really have fun with!
Matthew is an experienced, ONE-MAN-BAND with a mixed-bag of "crowd-pleasers" ranging from the 60s to today and everything in-between. Specializing in mash-ups and nostalgia-inducing medleys, Matthew moves smoothly between genre and era based on the vibe of the crowd and/or venue. Easy to work with, punctual, and professional!

October 1, 2026Amazing addition to our event
Matt was great! We decided at the last minute to add live music to our event. He accepted the day of the event, arrived early to set up, and his set list was perfect for our event. He is really good and everyone enjoyed him.

December 8, 2025Thank you!
We recently had Matthew perform at our graduation party, and he was absolutely fantastic. His music provided the perfect backdrop for the event—light and engaging enough to set a great vibe, yet never overpowering, so guests could easily mingle and chat.
One of the highlights was the jukebox-style song selection, which our guests loved. It added a fun, interactive element and made the music feel personal to everyone there.
Professional, talented, and incredibly easy to work with, Matthew helped make our celebration feel special. We’d happily recommend him for any event where you want great music that enhances the atmosphere.

September 9, 2025Matthew Ryan aka Rock Star!!!
Matthew showed up early, played late, and was way too talented in between! His sound system, set up and repertoire were top shelf. He took requests and nailed every song. His voice, guitar and harmonica playing made the girls swoon and the men jealous. Our guests were delighted with his music. Several of them asked me, ‘Where did you find that guy? He’s Great!’ I’ll hire him again and you should too. Better do it before he signs a big record contract and gets rich and famous! Book this guy if he’s available! Mathew delivers and does it with style and a smile.
