Matt is one of the most sought after jazz pianists in Nashville. He was a Bósendorfer Montreux Jazz Piano Competition semi-finalist and has played the Detroit Jazz Festival and Edgefest.

These two have a deep chemistry and bring complex structures to their harmonic, rhythmic and melodic progressions.

Matt and Robbie Lynn began working together in 2018 and have developed a deeply intuitive and broad repertoire. They bring a chamber music esthetic and avant-garde edge to their music, performing structured and unstructured improvisations. Both players use electronics to mix with acoustic sound and Robbie Lynn is now adding her responsive multimedia codeart projections to the mix.
