Artist biography Matthew "Matty" Meyer
Official biography published on social media (December 12, 2016).
Drummer Matt Meyer grew up in Secaucus, New Jersey with a steady diet of jazz, rock & roll, and country western that he learned going to his father's gigs, beginning at the tender age of 5. After graduating with a Bachelors degree in jazz performance from the New England Conservatory (Boston, 2007), he toured and recorded with singer songwriter White Hinterland. In 2010 Matt joined the country-jazz band Miss Tess & The Talkbacks. Currently he is touring with Rounder Records recording artist Pokey LaFarge. Matt has worked with artists such as Victoria Bergsman, Rachael Price, Anais Mitchell, Woody Pines, and J.P Harris and The Tough Choices. He is also a member of the rock band Madam Macadam. Feeling at home as much on the road as in Brooklyn or Missouri, Matt has toured nationally, as well as Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom and Europe.
