Blues in a Blender

These guys were a hit at our neighborhood block party! They were entertaining and had people of all ages up and dancing until the final minutes of the block party! I would highly recommend them for any event! Great music, polite, and extremely professional!

MHB performed at our private party and everything worked out perfectly. They were very easy to communicate with throughout the process and their experience was a major asset to the overall planning. They showed up a few days before to go over set up, sound, music, etc. When they arrived the day of, everything was well organized from the timing to the actual performance. They played for a little over two hours and there was not a single complaint! We hope to get these guys to perform again for us and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a great night of live music.

We had MHB play our Stomp Festival in October 2013. They were fantastic, the crowd (and most importantly the staff!) loved them. We will be having them back next year.

We had Matt to our home party as a solo act and he blew the crowd away with his amazing performance! He took my list of preferred artists and put together a playlist that completely fit the bill and rocked the crowd!
Everyone was amazes at the vocal and sound quality, and that such a "pro" would be available! He made our event so special and wowed us beyond our expectations- & we would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Brunswick Crossing hired MHB to play at our community outdoor concert series this past summer. Not only is the band great, really great, but Matt is very professional, in constant contact, and willing to work outside the box! We loved them so much, we've invited them back for our Fallfest in September!

If you want a band with a lot of energy, then this is the band! They played very well in line together. The saxophone player was on point as well as the keyboard player. All in all the band was great. The customers really enjoyed listening to them and are looking forward to having them come back out and play!

This wasn't the first time, nor will it be the last, that I've experienced MHB live. The ability of frontman Matt baron to feed the audience what they need is remarkable, and his improvisational skills and songwriting are top notch. Being a long time working musician myself, I have not only a more precise ear for criticism, but also possibly a greater appreciation for artists with Matt's gifts. I know how rare it is. You should too. Hire this man, you will be delighted.

They played covers and original music as well. You can tell they are not amateurs as they knew what they were doing, no one was out of sync, and the sound was perfect. In general, a very professional and entertaining band.

I saw MHB quite a handful of times over the span of a few years in Chicago and the performances were always top-notch. He always has a great mix of original music and nicely interpreted covers to keep the crowd engaged. His backing bands, made up of rotating members, were consistently of the higest caliber. When playing solo he uses technology skillfully to fill the room with a near-full-band sound. You won't be disappointed.

Matt was great. He interacted with the crowd without interrupting the festivities. And family and friends are still talking about his sound. It was the perfect mix of upbeat and more mellow bluesy sounds for a summer afternoon outdoors event.
