Info
Matt Jones is a Brazilian born, Texas bred singer-songwriter whose
well-crafted and soulful songs and unique baritone voice have earned
him praise and attention around the New York City bar and club circuit
that he currently inhabits. He mainly performs in NYC at acclaimed
venues such as Pianos, The Bitter End, The Baggot Inn, Caffe Vivaldi,
The Sidewalk Cafe, and Rockwood Music Hall, and is looking forward to
expanding his touring to possibly include the U.K. and other parts of
Europe.
In the first few years of his life, Matt lived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Quito, Ecuador, and Bogota, Colombia, before settling down in Houston, Texas, where he lived for fourteen years.
He started playing the violin and piano at the age of seven, and started playing the guitar at the age of sixteen, after hearing Jimi Hendrix's mind-blowing version of "All Along the Watchtower".
He left Texas to go to college in Massachusetts, where he played guitar and drums for a few bands, and also studied jazz theory and jazz violin. In 2004, he lived in Rio de Janeiro, and studied the regional drumming style maracatu, with the group Rio Maracatu, and was otherwise exposed to invigorating and gorgeous music.
"Matt Jones is a singer-songwriter with a lot going for him: his stage presence, his interesting, original songs, and especially his phrasing. He is a great storyteller."
-Jimmy Norman, co-writer of "Time is on my side"
