Matt Walsh is a 30 year old blues vocalist / guitarist / songwritter from North Carolina, where he is currently based. His primary sound is rooted in the old school southside Chicago Blues style of the 1950’s with musical detours that venture into Rockabilly, Jump Blues, and 50’s Rock genres as well. Influenced by Bluesmen like Robert Nighthawk, Howlin’ Wolf, T-Bone Walker, Willie Johnson, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, 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 agree that his stripped down blues approach is authentic and real. “At the age of 27, Matt Walsh, you may be tempted to think, did he strike a deal with the Devil at some dusty Mississippi crossroads beneath a blood-red moon”. After all, how else could someone get so good at playing the Blues?
