Bruce Matthews Band

Bruce Matthews' first album, So Far was released in 2014, followed in 2017 by his second full length album release, Roll Your Windows Down. In 2021 he released What You Leave Behind, continuing his journey of musical introspection and building on his solid fanbase and songwriting resume. 2024 saw the release of his 4th album, an EP entitled "Holding Fast."

Matthews fearlessly calls himself out, and writes about brokenness, redemption, and his personal journey, including family. “You look in the mirror,” Matthews says, “some things you celebrate, others, not so much. What you do today with what you see there—that’s what matters.”

Through his music Matthews invites others on a healing and redemptive journey. It's that perspective and ability to boldly bring his own struggles and lessons-learned to light with his music, that speaks so powerfully and distinctly to fans of his "gut-honest" and deeply personal roots music. "Hopefully my music helps pick up the broken pieces and make them whole,” he adds, “after all, it's not the brokenness, but what you do with it that matters."

Having become one of west Michigan's most beloved artists over the last decade, Bruce performs both as a solo artist and with his band, the Bruce Matthews Band (or BMB), bringing a seasoned live show experience both acoustic and full-band to each venue, festival and event he plays. Whether a tender ballad or an up-tempo song that gets people out of their seats, Bruce knows how to deliver a performance that leaves a lasting impression and keeps people coming back for more.
