Fantastic

Your music set the perfect mood to accompany the pictures during the visitation at my mothers funeral. It was such spiritual experience. We would be interested in having Matthew play at future events.
Thank you

Amazing talent, very professional

Matthew was a pleasure to work with. We hired him for our wedding ceremony and we couldn't be happier and more appreciative. He even learned two new songs for us and played them beautifully!

Couldn’t have asked for more!

Matt was wonderful and easy to work with. He made our guests comfortable while waiting for our wedding ceremony to start. We had a delay and we’re running behind and he adjusted to keep us as close to on track as he could. I am so glad we booked with Matt and my only regret is not booking him for a portion of the reception too.

Professional, talented and engaging!

Matthew's performance for us at our retirement community was nothing short of fantastic! From his professional demeanor to his engaging personality, our independent living residents were completely "wow-ed" by Matthew! His dulcimer playing abilities are beautiful and we have already received many requests to have him perform for us again!
