Not gonna lie, folks. MySpace pretty much sucks. I keep this profile up because... well... why not? But if you really want to get the good stuff, I'd recommend clicking on the logo and moving straight along to MattRyd.com!

  • Bio

    Me, in list format: I’m a musician from the fantastic city of Chicago, Illinois. I write pop/rock music. Catchy “stuck-in-your-head” type stuff with a ton of harmonies and dynamics. Imagine Rilo Kiley mixed with Simon & Garfunkel mixed with Journey. I recently released my debut album Looking For Home to a sold-out crowd at Schubas in Chicago. The song Healed from my debut EP was featured on one of my favorite shows: Scrubs on ABC. The version of Healed from my new LP has received radio play on WXRT 93.1FM in Chicago, as well as on a number of college and Internet radio stations. I sometimes perform solo, and sometimes with an awesome band of super-talented musicians that I feel really lucky to have onstage with me. I’ve shared the stage with some pretty awesome folks, like Jeff Tweedy, I Fight Dragons, Crystal Bowersox, Cavashawn, and The Swell Season (there’s a story to that last one). And I’ve opened for some hilarious comedians, including Dan Aykroyd, Fred Armisen, and Jeff Garlin. I’ve played some spectacular venues, including Schubas, Lincoln Hall and Subterranean. I’m a total geek. Don’t get me started talking about Star Trek, because I will seriously blab your ears off for hours. I’m super-friendly! Hi! Let’s talk!

  • Chicago Acoustic Underg…

    Looking forward to your performance with Brian Walker and Crystal at Brian's CD Release show at The Bottom Lounge in Chicago this coming Thursday April 7th.

    It's going to be one hell of a show with opener Mike Droho, followed by Jess Godwin and her band and then Brian Walker with an all star band including Crystal Bowersox, as well as musicians including drummer Earl Talbot (The Drum School, Poi Dog Pondering), Charlie King (harp), bassist Frankie May (nationall-touring bassist that performs with acts including Crystal Bowersox), Ryan Hinshaw (fiddle phenomenon from acts including Sexfist and Outlaw Family Band), Thomas Linsk (piano), and the closing out the night is your ever amazing Matt Ryd Band.

    See you at the show.

    Peace,

    Michael Teach, Founder/Host, CAU
