He was raised in a musically rich environment surrounded by the area’s best players—most of whom are gone now—and cut his teeth on marathon gigs. After years of chasing his shadow back and forth between the Hill Country and the Caribbean, Matt decided it was time to knuckle down, buckle down, and do it, putting a band, The Güeyfarers, together in 2020.
