Matt Walsh is a Blues vocalist / guitarist / song writer from North Carolina. His primary sound is rooted in the old school south-side Chicago Blues style of the 1950s with musical detours that venture into Rockabilly, Jump Blues, and 50s Rock genres as well.
Influenced by Bluesmen like Robert Nighthawk, Howlin Wolf, T-Bone Walker, Willie Johnson, Muddy Waters, Robert Lockwood Jr., Eddie Taylor, Elmore James and Johnny Guitar Watson, Matt has dedicated himself to playing the blues. His wailing, singing, raw distorted guitar tone, coupled with his soulful vocals have stunned music critics and fans everywhere, who all agree that his stripped down Blues approach is authentic and real.
