Matt Hubbard plays "back-alley beatnik blues" (Austin Chronicle) on his funky Hammond organ, honky-tonk piano, hobo harmonica and down-home trombone.

Multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer and longtime Austin resident Matt Hubbard was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1970. After moving to Austin, Matt worked with legend and mentor Willie Nelson for many years, recording and co-producing numerous albums and duets at Willie’s home studio in Luck, Texas. Highlights include “Rainbow Connection” (2001 Island/Def Jam) and “Run That By Me One More Time" (2003 Lost Highway), both nominated for the Country Album of the Year Grammy. Matt also played keys, trombone and harmonica with jam band 7 Walkers featuring Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann, Meters’ bassist George Porter Jr. and guitarist Papa Mali from 2008-2014. The band co-wrote songs with renowned lyricist Robert Hunter for their self-titled debut album (“7 Walkers” 2010 Response). Matt has also worked with Wanda Jackson, Ray Price, Rickie Lee Jones, Fastball, World Idol winner Kurt Neilson and many others live and in the studio. In 2021, he appeared on the Tonight Show with Edie Brickell & New Bohemians as well as playing keyboards and co- writing three songs on the band's last two albums “Rocket” (2018 Verve) and “Hunter and the Dog Star” (2021 Shuffle/Thirty Tigers). Matt released a solo gospel album "Nobody's Fault but Mine" dedicated to his father in 2017 and the Matt Hubbard Trio recorded "Live at C-Boy's" in 2019, both on Michabou Records. His new solo piano album “Grandpa’s Piano” will be released June 7th, 2024 with a performance that day at 8PM at the ABGB in Austin, Texas.
