Matthew James Unplugged is a gritty acoustic force out of Toledo, Ohio, blending the soul of outlaw country with the raw edge of old-school rock. With a voice that cuts through the noise and songs that pull no punches, he delivers a powerful mix of B-side covers, deep-cut rock staples, and hard-hitting originals that hit like a shot of whiskey.
A former house musician in Deadwood, South Dakota; playing nightly in the very bar where Wild Bill Hickok met his end, Matthew brings a lived-in authenticity to every performance. He’s earned radio play back home in Toledo and continues to build a name one raw, honest set at a time.
