The Guy
Born in Annapolis. Forged in Baltimore. Perfected in Austin. Stevie started out in 2014 on the cobblestones of Fells Point, where there's live music seven nights a week and an audience that will absolutely tell you if you're bad. He wasn't.
He fronted the Stevie Matthews Trio, Analog Kids, and a band genuinely named Struggle Bus, which tells you everything about his sense of humor and nothing about his playing. He even did a stint on drums for The Ready's, because apparently one instrument wasn't enough of a personality trait.
A decade of all-request bar gigs taught him two things: how to play basically everything, and how to read a room like a bedtime story. The whole time he kept writing and recording originals, playing every instrument himself, because the cheapest bandmate is the one in the mirror.
In 2019 he moved the whole operation to Austin, TX, the live music capital of the world, where being "pretty good at guitar" is the local minimum wage. He teaches, he gigs, he writes. And he fits right in, which is saying something.
