Jay Matthes at the Woodshed Ale House

 began playing professionally in July 2011. Since then, my musical projects have earned opening spots for national acts such as Jana Kramer, Old Dominion, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Mike Dawes, 10,000 Maniacs, Ike Reilly Assassination, Charlie Worsham, RaeLynn, Freedy Johnston, Natalie Stovall and the Drive, and more.

I've played many of the major venues in Wisconsin, from Cactus Club to Summerfest to The Rave, plus multiple festivals and events. My original music has been featured on Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Tennessee radio, as well as TMJ4's Wisconsin Tonight, Channel 12 WISN, The Transistor Show, and ZUUS Country Network. Press has included features in The Modern Folk, Americana Daily, Breaking & Entering, Shepherd Express, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Ozaukee Magazine,OnMilwaukee.com, and more.
