Matt founded The Sheepshead Serenaders in 2021. The ensemble is dedicated to playing traditional New Orleans music, ragtime, and early jazz of the 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s. The Sheepshead Serenaders feature a rotating cast of New Orleans finest musicians. Their first EP was recorded in spring of 2022 at Bigtone records with Jon Atkinson, a very talented sound engineer specializing in vintage recording techniques and equipment based out of New Orleans. The record features Zach Lange on trumpet, Hunter Burgamy on guitar and banjo, and Taylor Kent on upright bass.
