About

After graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston and I spent years writing and performing throughout the Northeast. Over that time I gained an immense amount of performance experience while learning how to play to all sorts of rooms and crowds, from packed clubs to quiet restaurants. Over the past few years I’ve stepped away from the original performance scene and into the world of events.

Since that time I’ve had the great pleasure of performing music at countless weddings throughout the New England area. I’m often asked to sing for the ceremony, and cocktail hour, and also offer services for the reception for smaller weddings as well. It is a joy for me to provide the musical backdrop for such meaningful events and I look forward to working with each couple in choosing the perfect songs for their very special day.

In terms of music choice for ceremonies I am open to any idea and I will work with the bride and groom to choose the songs that they feel will fit the sentiment and vibe that they’re looking for. If I don’t have a song listed on my song list I will gladly learn it. I’ve performed classical pieces such as Pachelbel’s Canon and the Wedding March but also contemporary songs such as Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud”, Train’s “Marry Me”, and Marvin Gaye’s “How Sweet It Is”. All songs can include vocals or be played instrumentally.

For cocktail hours I try to choose a set list that is celebratory and upbeat while at the same time reflecting the romantic vibe of the day. If there are specific songs that the bride and groom would like played I’m more than happy to oblige.

I take great pride in being a musician and I always bring a high level of professionalism and performance every time I play. My goal each wedding is for the clients to be highly satisfied and for their guests to be impressed.

Perfect for cocktails and dinner

We recently hired Matt to perform at a corporate event during cocktails and dinner. In the lead up to the event, Matt couldn't have been more professional and responsive. He took the time to understand the vibe we were trying to achieve, shared a sample set list for us to react to and was cordial and prompt in every part of our communication.

The day of, he arrived early to set up, taking extra care to ensure everything would go smoothly and most importantly the music was amazing! We opted for a mix of classics ranging from Tom Petty/Van Morrison/Bruce Springsteen to more current songs along the lines DMB/Chris Stapleton/Foo Fighters. Matt performed every song perfectly and our group couldn't have been happier - I caught many people singing along! Don't hesitate to hire Matt! We most certainly will again!

A showstopper for any event.

I was lucky enough to meet Matt while searching for someone to perform for a surprise 25th anniversary party that I was hosting for my wife.
After watching Matt’s videos and emailing with him I realized he was the perfect choice. After the privilege of having him perform at our event, I now realize I underestimated him! Throughout the whole process Matt was responsive and supportive in every way possible. Throughout the night many of my guests commented on how amazing he was and what an asset he was for the event. One of the most memorable moments of the night will be my son Nick (an aspiring vocalist) joining Matt to perform Your Song by Elton John, truly amazing. I can’t recommend Matt. enough to do him justice. He is a showstopper for any event.

Amazing!

I cannot say enough good things about Matt! We hired him to play at our small intimate beach wedding and we were over the moon with the vibe he brought to the day. He arrived on time and got himself set up. We had him play during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and throughout dinner. In the hiring process, we had told him a few songs that we were interested in having him play, and he actually sent over live recordings, which were amazing.

On our wedding day, Matt was set up outside. We did have some wind and some of our guests gathered indoors for periods of the night which wasn’t expected. Matt took it upon himself to move inside and outside with the crowd always playing beautiful music. We were really really happy with him and of course his voice and musical ability is so so good. He played covers that we liked better then the actual artists! We asked him to play a Tyler Childers cover for the ceromony, Chris Stapleton for our first dance, and others like Jason isbell during the evening which he did without a hiccup’

If you have the opportunity to book with Matt consider yourself lucky! We highly highly recommend.
