A fresh take on classic folk tunes coupled with original music inspired by the best of those classic folk artists: the Croce, Lightfoot, Carlile, and Prine influences.

I always strive to create memorable experiences via musical performances, whether through my own music or by paying tribute to an artist I enjoy covering. This can be done either as the focal point of an event, or with a more subtle approach in the background. Inquire to learn more!
After a decade of playing gigs both large and small around the city of Chicago with indie rockers, Buckman Page, as well as with front porch folkers, Distant Brothers, Matty and his partner packed up their lives and moved to northeast Minneapolis in 2021. His current musical project, "Matty & The Subtle Validation" stems from something of a quest to find ways to connect with and to validate others through music. He's not an expert and it may not even be something he's very good at, but the bottom line is this: no matter who you are or where you're from, everyone deserves value.
I can provide my own audio equipment (speaker, cables, microphone, stands, mixing board, etc), but I do not have access to lighting or stage equipment, should that be necessary.
