That's Life

Sweetlife's original songs are about life itself. All the ups, some of the downs, the good times and the times that put gray hairs on your head. Each will remind you of a time in your life, friends you have known and the sweet ride that it has been. And it's all done with style, grace and finesse.
Spending time with Sweetlife is a truly great, memorable and sweet experience.

FANTASTIC!!!

Matt and Carol would be a GREAT addition to any event you may be planning. We just recently had them for our Valentine's Banquet at our church, and everyone LOVED them. Here it is a full two weeks after our banquet and I continue to get "they were great," "we loved them," and "great choice for the banquet." You will not be disappointed! They're genuine, and you can tell the love that they have for one another. They are VERY talented and their music library is vast. They respond quickly to emails and are very flexible. Seriously, you can stop searching for your entertainment, you found a gem right here!!!

What to expect

Matt & Carol have a lot of fun onstage (and your audience will, too). Get ready to laugh at silly banter, cry over heart-warming stories, and sing along to well-loved favorites. Their smooth, sparkling harmonies and powerful emotion breathe new life into modern hits, traditional standards, hymns, and their own heart-warming songs celebrating real life and real love.

Carol’s charming voice brings to mind Amy Grant, Karen Carpenter, and Patsy Cline, while Matt’s voice and guitar build musical foundations of country, rock, folk, and jazz. Their style fits perfectly in almost any setting - from background instrumental music to a full concert. They're happy to draw from their vast song list to tailor-make your event.

About

Matt & Carol are married best-friends, performers, songwriters, worship leaders, music producers, and patriots based in Amish Country (Lancaster County, PA).

Since the 1980s, their music has carried audiences through laughter and tears, telling stories and moving them closer to the ones they love.

Their thriving tour schedule has taken them from New Jersey to Nashville, often performing at 300+ live events each year in PA and neighboring states for clients like the US Army and National Day of Prayer.

They're gifted speakers and performers, leading worship and giving Bible-based messages at churches, retirement communities, campgrounds, and more.

Soft, sweet harmonies, full guitar, and lyrics exploring worship, nostalgia, and encouragement take the listener for a ride through their memorable and moving songs about real life and love.

Speaking of songs, they have no idea how many they've written, but it's got to be close to a thousand - and they're still writing their own lifelong love story.

When not making beautiful music together, they enjoy traveling, staying home, and feeding their pseudo-pet, stray tomcat nicknamed Buddy.

Carol loves cooking PA Dutch meals, walking on the beach, and jigsaw puzzles.
Matt enjoys crosswords, Bible study, chocolate, and petting wiener dogs.

Additional booking notes

We're very much a LOW-MAINTENANCE group. Unless otherwise notified, we supply our own high-grade PA/sound gear, suitable for most venues/sound halls/etc.

If your event is Plug-n-Play (you're providing the PA gear), we must respectfully insist on a high-quality sound system & technician. We use our own microphones and ask for an on-stage monitor and two XLR & two regular instrument inputs for our performance.
