Hi! I'm Matt Lobo
I'm a Vermont-based singer, guitarist and performer. I'd love to entertain the guests at your event or venue with my passionate renditions of your favorite songs.
Sweet Tunes Tapped in Vermont
Live Music with Passion, Finesse & a Little Surprise
I’m a Poultney, Vermontâbased musician bringing big sound and bigger heartâarmed with guitar, looper pedal, harmonica, and a voice that loves to roam. My sets feature soulful, high-energy takes on rock, pop, blues, and folk classics from then and now, with a few originals stirred in for good measure.
I came up in the 80s on a steady diet of classic rockâLed Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Doobie Brothers, The Doors, Hendrixâplus the blues legends who inspired them. (Some call it ‘dad rock.’ I call it timeless.)
These days, I still play the songs I grew up loving, but curiosity always wins. If a song captures my imagination, it might end up in the set. On any given night, you could hear Frank Sinatra, Bill Withers, the Beastie Boys, and Taylor Swift sharing spaceâalong with an original song or two that comes straight from the same place.
Why I Do This
At the end of the day, one of life’s greatest fulfillments is connectionâwatching a song unlock a memory, bring people together, or simply make someone’s night a little better. That shared moment between performer and audience? That’s the magic. Sometimes little kids dance around in front of the stage while I play the songs their parents loved at their age. How cool is that? That’s why I do this.
Every show is meant to feel alive, personal, and uniquely special.
đ Fun Fact
When I’m not making music, I’m making maple syrup. I’m the proprietor of a Vermont maple farm alongside two partnersâincluding my wife, Leah. If you’re in the market for delicious, pure Vermont maple syrup (or other maple goodies), check out Thrall Road Maple. Sweetness guaranteed.
