Area man is “fellow traveller to the Americana movement.”

I’m gonna go see the Art Vandelay Blues Explosion Saturday night at Mundy’s Place

Excited to return to Mountain Stage on 1/18, but I’m reeeaaallly excited because it’s happening in Morgantown at the CAC. This is the first date of a three week solo tour, but I’ll be joined by Craig Burletic on the upright bass and Jeremy John Batten on the keys. Would love to see some friends!

See you tonight, Charlottesville. Doors at 7, me n JJB at 8, REK at 9.

Coming to you from the kitchen with a gentle reminder that I’ll opening up for @robertearlkeen1.bsky.social at the Jefferson in Charlottesville, VA Thursday evening

RIP Steve Cropper. One of the saddest days for the signature lick since the passing of Reggie Young in 2019.

Speaking to my vast following of Bluesky users who live in Morgantown, WV: There’s a great band from Columbus, OH called Moviola playing at Gene’s Friday night. Comparison is the thief of joy, but some ppl say they split the difference between GBV and the Grateful Dead

Posting this for no other reason than I think it looks cool.

Greatly looking forward to playing the Mempho Music Fest with John R. Miller and co. this Sunday afternoon. If you’re gonna be there, we hit at 3:30 post meridian on the Adams Keegan stage.

Americana’s biggest week:

Being a musician is sort of like playing Tetris. You never beat the game, you just get really good at playing Tetris.

Playing with The Phantom Six tonight down at @123pleasant.bsky.social We’re supportin’ Dog Lips and Stupid Head. Doors at 8, we hit at 9 Bc change is inevitable, black labels are a buck fifty now 🤷

You had me at karaoke and hot chicken.

It’s all part of the process.

Looking forward to a legendary hang with some legendary homies at a legendary spot on 10/24.

I played Marco’s Lounge. I played Kathy’s Talk of the Town. I played the Sagebrush Roundup and admired all of the photos of Wilma Lee Cooper and Patty Looman.

Lovely Lexington, KY tonight at The Green Lantern. My buddy Troutmouth unfortunately won’t be joining us, but you still have me and Andy the Doorbum and as Meat Loaf once sang, two out of three ain’t bad.

Kokomo, IN (not the fictional Caribbean destination) tonight. Holler in the Heartland with buddies Darrin Hacquard and Buffalo Wabs & the Price Hill Hustle

Sparkling Champaign-Urbana tonight at Rose Bowl Tavern!

Playing in space tonight. @evanstonspace.bsky.social that is.

Pittsburgh! Coming in hot, the band and I will be at Thunderbird 8/1! www.etix.com/ticket/p/382...

Tour kicks off tonight at Southgate House Revival!

Playing the place on the mug tomorrow night. It’s a nice place and a nice mug.

Only 14 of these first pressing, silver foil “Strange Constellations” vinyls left. Grab one while ya can: williammatheny.myshopify.com/products/str...

Got a genuine midweek summer evening hang at Gene’s on Wednesday. Fretland is coming through town en route to the great northeast and I’ll be playing too. Music starts round 8 and there’s never a cover charge!

Just wanted to say that I’m playing Gene’s on 7/9 with Hillary Fretland. She’s from Nashville by way of the Pacific Northwest. I’ll have Tucker on bass and Jeremy on keys. My buddy Dusty took this dreamy ass photo.

Celebrating WV Day by playing Falls City Pub in Ohiopyle, PA from 6-9 (nice)

Jazzed to be opening up a couple shows for the great Emily Nenni this week. 6/17 Southgate House Revival, Newport, KY 6/18 Ace of Cups Columbus, OH Friday I’ll be in Ohiopyle, PA at Falls City Pub with the untaggable Jeremy Batten. He’s not on the internet but he will be on the piano.

No kings. No scrubs.

Hometown (for me, anyway) show at 123 Pleasant Street tonight. Doors at 7, Of The Dell at 8, us at 9 www.showclix.com/event/john-r...

The people in this clip are playing shows this weekend. Columbus, OH tonight at Rumba with Darrin Hacquard, Morgantown tomorrow at 123 Pleasant, WV Fest in Charles Town Saturday

I have made updates to my home on the information superhighway: WilliamMatheny.com

Dig My Earth fest today at the South Mountain Fairgrounds in Biglerville, PA 🗣️🗣️🗣️ We close it out at 10pm Me by Hannah Tallant Jeremy and Tucker by Dustin Merrill Clint by Judah Sutton

Look, I know fresh strings are their own reward, but because restringing a Rickenbacker 12 takes roughly 700 years, I’m really gonna need some validation from the internet here.

I’m bringing the apples of my ears (that’s a pet name I have for my band) to Ploughman Cider’s Dig My Earth Fest this Saturday, 6/7. 🍎🍏 Grab yourselves a ticket and we’ll see you there.

Sometimes when I hear Morrissey, I wonder what Jared Kushner’s singing voice is like.

Hand to god, I walk into Pittsburgh guitars to buy some strings and the first thing I hear someone say is “you can change it back to Donnie Iris if you want.”

PITTSBURGH! I’m playing some music and hanging out tonight at Thunderbird. No cover charge, doors unlocked at 6, music starts about 7

Frostburg, MD! I’m playing Clatter Cafe next Friday, May 30th with special guest Pap Miller. Get tickets, two by two, for 300 cubits of music: link.seated.com/ef483f58-731...

Nothing says “I’ve got a gig” quite like some brick wall band photography. So yeah, I’ve got a gig. It’s at Thunderbird Cafe in Pittsburgh on Saturday at 7pm.

williammatheny.myshopify.com/products/wil... I’m down to seeds and stems on this t-shirt. Only five remaining.

I’m playing at Gene’s tonight with Darrin Bradbury and Jung Min Noh. It all gets going round about 8, come show these fellas a nice warm welcome. Plus Darrin has a song called “Exile on Myrtle Beach” so you know he’s destined to be huge in WV.

I think this is some of my finest algorithmically unfriendly work right here.

Listen up, Morgantown. Lucy’s talking. She says you better come to Gene’s next Wednesday the 14th for me and Darrin Bradbury.
