A consummate performer with a high-energy stage presence, Matt Pless travels the road continuously entertaining and astounding his audiences. With guitar and harmonica as his tools of choice and words as his main characters, he has shared the stage with the likes of Maroon 5, Rilo Kiley, Alkaline Trio, Arlo Guthrie, Bad Brains, Fallout Boy, All Time Low and others.
Matt’s extensive touring schedule has taken him to Europe, and across the U.S. multiple times playing venues from bars to boxcars and basements and everything in between...wherever there are people to hear his music.
And almost anyone can relate to a Matt Pless song. His unique gift for writing lyrics and melodies that appeal to the core of the human condition is, like Matt himself, an experience.

Gabriel Akins
Folk
Gabriel, the founding member of The Matchcoats, found Country Blues and Americana often meets him where feet are on the ground, meals are shared, and dishes are being washed with a neighbor. “One day while going through some pain of my own I remembered watching Sonny Terry on a recording of Rainbow Quest.” says Gabriel. He continues, ”Sonny was hootin’ and singin’ Leadbelly’s, Rock Island Line, right there with Brownie McGhee and Pete Seeger, while rockin’ on one of his ribs and this hit me; some notes you don’t learn how to hit unless you’re feeling the road under your feet." Life is complex, mundane, and holy, like a kid who grew up on a farm with unique vision into Shakespeare’s writing and yet, not likely to read his work. So, Gabriel hopes to engage listeners at their unique position on life’s road. He comes bearing a couple handfuls of fresh metaphors and tunes from a place where we all are doing our best and sometimes even making an unholy mess of it all.
