Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Matt Gabriel has been writing and performing music for 10 years, and the past 5 years he has been traveling the country doing it! From the noisy jazz bars in the deep south of Louisiana to the singer/songwriter coffee shops of Seattle Washington. The progression of his ability to blend inspiring lyrics with paralyzing hooks is an honest blend of Folk and Blues with a solid Rock and Roll center. The exact quality of music you would expect from an artist who grew up between Chicago and Detroit. A must see live show with a very approachable recorded sound. Its music you can trust and believe in.
