Matt Mateo is the name.  I am a college grad and joke teller.  Please visit my YouTube channel @MattSMateo to see the videos that go along with the show! For the love of the Lord and myself, please, oh please, pretty please SHARE, LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!  Please?  And I will do the same for you!  Also, please email me to say hi, a show idea or whatever at: realmattmateo@gmail.com .  

***WARNING*** I AM A MAJOR NAME DROPPER, SO PLEASE BE AWARE! I have a lil wacky fascination with celebrities. I apologize in advance.

I LOVE BRANSON!  What can I say?  Please mark my words, Branson is gonna be another Nashville someday!  I finally got to see the wonderful Thunder Ridge Nature Arena with Guns N Roses.  Sooooo awesome in person.  What a beautiful view from the nosebleed section.  G N R was good too.  A couple months ago, I was messaging a great comedian, Tom Mabe (Name drop #1). Hopefully, Ill be getting an interview with him soon. He was telling me he has a lot of family in Branson! I had no idea. Lets get him to come to Branson and perform aye!?  

The music industry is already present in Branson as you probably figured out duh (to me). Dolly has left her mark here and I’m sure she will be visiting the Stampede even if it is in spirit. I am a member of the Nashville Songwriters Association International, and already there is a chapter of it here in Branson.  This is just the beginning.

I am having this show because I am a goofball.  I am a lil wacked….but in a good way!  It’s extremely hard to offend me.  If I offend you for some reason (which rarely ever happens), please keep in mind, I am NOT mean spirited at all.  It’s all just good fun.

I have a show coming up featuring me and my band singing and playing with Lee Brice’s (Name Drop #3) first #1 song “Love Like Crazy”.  Also, a show featuring me singing and playing piano with Debbie Gibson’s (Name Drop #4) #1 song “Lost In Your Eyes”.

I play several instruments including electric and acoustic guitar, piano and keyboards, drums, bass and I sing. For fun, I like to add harmony parts to songs that don’t have any in them. Do you ever do that? 😉  I like singing with Britney Spears’ song “Everytime” where there are no harmonies.  

I’ve been writing songs almost all my life. Like many other musicians.  

I do have an interesting story to tell about when I had a meeting with a Quality Records executive years ago. That was quite a slap in the face! Lol! That’s coming up!

I have been on the radio in Chicago, Milwaukee, Shenandoah Valley-Virginia, Santa Ynez Valley-California (very near Michael Jackson’s ranch-Name Drop #5)…and no I never saw anything go on there), and also one of my favorite places was Tupelo-Mississippi!

I currently live in a nice home with 200 acres.  It’s a far cry from growing up in a NICE suburb of Chicago.  I’ve had to teach myself how to bush hog and do all the things required to upkeep a large piece of land.  With a beautiful big hill on it I call Mount Trashmore.  You can see for 15 to 20 miles from there.  It will be featured on some of my shows.
